SIX18 TRAVEL

Lush, unspoiled St. Lucia is a hit with travelers of all kinds. Some of its vacationers are music lovers, letting loose at the springtime St. Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival. Meanwhile, adrenaline junkies test their limits by climbing The Pitons or zip lining through the Chassin region's rainforest. Others are honeymooners, unwinding on one of the island's chalky beaches or holing up in one of its isolated resorts.

But what if you don't fall into any of these categories? Don't worry: St. Lucia refuses to be pigeonholed as any "type" of Caribbean vacation. Start your mornings basking in an orange-tinted Soufrière sunrise then round out your evenings at an evening "jump-up" (or dance party) along Gros Islet. To discover the rest of the island's indescribable charms, you'll have to visit for yourself.
