Things to do in St Lucia

February 3, 2020 Villa Rentals , , , , , , , ,

Saint Lucia is an island located in the Caribbean and is full to the brim with activities and things to do and beautiful St Lucia villas to stay in. If you are able to tear yourself away from the beautiful surroundings that you find yourself in, then we highly recommend doing the following during your stay on this island paradise.

Go out of the norm.

Saint Lucia is an impressive and stunning island. By staying on land you are are only seeing a fraction of what this beautiful island has to offer. You can catch a Catamaran from Rodney Bay and Capella Marina and sail on down to Soufriere Bay. Most of the excursions include extras such as lunch, visiting a volcano, going to the botanical gardens and not to mention the quick swimming stop that happens on the way back. By doing all of this you can see what the beautiful island has to offer from a distance which will make you value it a whole lot more. Another way you can get to see another part of Saint Lucia is by going hiking in the rainforest. However, this is not for people who just want a quick glimpse of the island. By doing this you will be investing at least 3 or 4 hours into the hiking but the reward is worth it. You will get to see the island up close and personal. For any hike that you want to do you will first need to get permission from the Forestry Department, but it will be worth all the extra work when you are blessed with the incredible views that await you.

Under the sea.

If you think that Saint Lucia is beautiful above sea-level, wait until you see her from below. It is highly recommended that you go scuba diving during your stay on this island so that you can see everything that this beautiful island has to offer both above and below. There is also the option of going on dive boats if you don’t fancy suiting up and doing it yourself – and also most hotels offer this type of excursion so try not to miss out and enquire as soon as you arrive.

For the people that can’t stay still

For those who like to have their heart racing Saint Lucia will not let you down. Whilst it is known for its peace and relaxation, there are also options for people looking for thrills. Here you can zipline through the rainforest. If you head on over to Rainforest Sky Ride, you will be greeted with a choice of 10 zip line adventures (and also a calmer tram ride) through the islands forest. The view from here is incredible as you zip through it at lightning speed. As with any getaway island, here you can find water parks. But Saint Lucia improves on that, Splash Island Water Park offers a park full of inflatable water sport items that allow you to climb, hop and jump your way through them, as if it were total wipeout. Here you will be happy as you challenge yourself to jump from one to the other and at the end of the day you can return back to the villa and relax.

To sum things up, Saint Lucia is more than just a pretty face; it offers a range of activities that will keep each and every member of the family happy. The only thing that is missing from Saint Lucia is you, so what are you waiting for, your villa waits. Check out this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucia

Renting a Villa on the Tropical Island of St Lucia

Imagine walking onto an exquisite piece of property. The buildings are majestic and spacious, towering like castles. Now, imagine a warm sea breeze blowing over your entire person and you are taken away, mentally—and almost physically—to another reality. Are you dreaming? Well, if you consider spending your vacation in St Lucia Villas is a dream, then so be it.

This new visitor has decided that the sheltered island experience of an all-inclusive hotel is just too far removed from the island reality. They want to go shopping in the local market, explore the countryside, and go on the various island tours without the restrictions of the all-inclusive hotel policy. It basically boils down to one thing: they want freedom. And what better way to experience that freedom than own a part of the local real estate, by renting or downright purchasing in St Lucia Villas.

And who can hold it against them? No one, really, except for the diehard advocates of the all-inclusive hotel experience. As a fellow traveler, trust me, the all-inclusive hotel experience does get boring after some time. To be quite frank, it’s boring compared to the villa rental experience.
It’s only recently that villa properties have caught on in the Caribbean, especially Saint Lucia. The island has been mostly dominated by hotels and guest houses, but then came another type of visitor; the type who wanted to experience life on a Caribbean island first person.

It was only recently a couple of friends of mine were describing their wonderful experience in ‘paradise.’ They were describing this place in St. Lucia where they rented a villa, which was overlooking a picturesque bay by the name of Savannes, which is situated near another bay called Honeymoon Bay. Coincidentally, these are both located in the south of the island of Saint Lucia, in a town called Vieux Fort, just a 10-minute drive from the Hewanorra Airport.Checkout website from https://www.total-croatia-news.com/lifestyle/22457-winter-tourism-dalmatia-rent-a-luxury-villa-for-celebrations for more details.

My friends were going on about the villas in that area having the architecture of the 18th century castles, but with the amenities and luxuries of the 21st century. I informed them that St Lucia is one of the Windward islands, meaning that it—along with the other islands in that group—are in the direct path of the Atlantic ocean winds, hence the solid, and wind-resistant design of the villas; sort of like practical aesthetics.

luxury villa rentalsWhen I heard that it was not so far from the airport, my face scrounged, because I have had the misfortune of lodging in a guesthouse situated near an airport and, believe me, I was beyond insomnia. The distasteful look on my face quickly turned into a relieved expression, accompanied by a sigh of relief, as I was promptly reassured that the convenience is truly a blessing, as there are no flight paths above the area where the villas are located, therefore, ultimate peace and quiet.

What piqued my curiosity with regards to my friends’ vivid account of their stay at this tropical haven, is their mention of a central pool bar. I was a bit skeptical of this, so I questioned them further, because that sounded like a hotel setup. Their combined confirmation was the last nudge I needed. I most definitely had to go in St Lucia Villa rental to rent a villa with this exquisite spot.
