See it all, do it all and experience the romantic vacation of a lifetime in St. Lucia. Whether it be relaxing under a coconut palm tree, eating an eloquent dinner while sipping on a tropical drink under candlelight, exploring waterfalls, lush rainforest's and hidden coves or the beautiful, pristine waters surrounding St.Lucia, a romantic rendezvous awaits those fortunate enough to set foot on this luxurious island. This Hawaiian island replica boasts the Pitons and other mountainous terrain created by volcanic activity. Because of this, lush vegetation, a diverse coastline featuring pristine lagoons, bays and coves, beautiful waterfalls and black and white sandy beaches are all within reach.

Having won the "World's Leading Honeymoon Destination" award for six years since 2002, it is no wonder that St. Lucia is synonymous with romance. In fact, the final few episodes of ABC"s hit show "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" were filmed in St. Lucia! You can't replace the essence of a romantic bungalow hideaway, champagne moonlight yacht cruise on a calm indigo Ocean, or relaxing romantic cuisine under candlelight right on the beach featuring fresh tropical fruits, native produce and fish caught that same day distinguished in a cultural flavor all it own. Rekindling an old flame, starting a relationship off on the right foot or spicing things up in a way that is as unique as the person you are sharing the moment with, can all be attained with enjoyable and remarkable pleasures and memories in St. Lucia.

Their are a plethora of accommodations to suit your desires and pocketbook, from intimate inns, luxurious resorts, spacious villas, boutique hotels and all-inclusive hotels and resorts as well. Crystals, Coco Palm, Villa Beach Cottages, Rendezvous, Sandals, Habitat Terrace, The Hummingbird Beach Resort and La Haut Resort represent just a sampling of the extraordinary variety and number of accommodations to make your stay that much more memorable.

Culinary presentation and dining experience is as diverse as the tourists that visit St. Lucia each day. Many restaurants come complete with their own complex local Creole heritage mixed in. The majority of the chef's that work in many of the restaurants on the island have received regional and international acclaim. St. Lucia is a melting pot of unique, cultural cuisine influenced by global flavors, personified by each chef's ethnic background. African, Mexican, Asian, American, Indian, Caribbean, British and French influences can be found throughout the island. Whether you are looking for a quick bite on the beach or an intimate setting for dinner, many of the restaurants manifest tantalizing dishes around exotic tropical charm and individuality. Rainforest Hideaway, Chic, Dragonfly, The Wharf, Key Largo, Piano Piano, The Quarter Deck, The Reef, Jungle Bar and Restaurant and The Cliff at Cap provide a small variety of restaurants featuring a budget menu to the exquisite.

If you are looking to just relax and be pampered, perhaps a spa is just the ticket. Or you may be prone to lying out on one of the the beautiful sandy beaches sipping on a tropical drink as you watch time and stress pass you by. If you are seeking something to get the juices flowing, St. Lucia has what the doctor ordered. Hiking and bike trail riding, a visit to a botanical garden, explore the Pitons, visit a few waterfalls, experience a helicopter tour or ATV trek through the back country. Then you have the tranquil tropical water of the Caribbean to offer you a whole new spin on life with water sports galore. Fishing, boating, snorkeling and scuba diving, water skiing and para sailing can offer you excitement, adventure and fun in the Caribbean sun.

Romance is in the air when you visit St. Lucia, however, even if your not in a relationship, love is in the air, as you will definitely love your time spent in St. Lucia!
