St Lucia is easily recognizable thanks to the twin green mountain peaks of The Pitons – a UNESCO world heritage protected site. The coast offers a range of volcanic beaches, popular reefs for diving and snorkeling, luxurious hotel resorts and quaint fishing villages. Walking further inland and the interior rainforest guides you to breathtaking waterfalls such as Toraille at an impressive 15m high. Rodney Bay in the north is a mixture of complete relaxation and modern commodity whilst Soufrière is an area that will delight those looking to capture nature at its rarest and most unspoilt.

Located off Puerto Rico, the prevailing northerly winds that embrace the picturesque shores give the Leeward Islands group, its name. Spanning 300 miles from the British Virgin Islands to Dominica, these islands include Anguilla, Saba, Saint Eustatius, St Kitts & Nevis and Antigua & Barbuda.
