In 1979 St. Lucia became an independent democracy within the British Commonwealth. St. Lucia is a beautiful island with subtle nuances that lead us to the island's colourful History.

It was first inhabited by the Arawak Indians and in 1499 Christopher Columbus was the first European to discover the island. Over the next 150 years St. Lucia was alternately British and French until 1814 when it was finally relinquished to the British.

The war has left many fortresses and Historical relics behind. There are many sites for visitors including Pigeon Island National Park and Fort Rodney, Morne Fortune and Marigot Bay which was once a vital wartime base and now it is a beautiful yachting haven.

The island of St.Lucia has two airports: Hewanorra International Airport : Located in the south of the island near Vieux-Fort and George F.L. Charles Airport : The smaller of the two, formerly known as Vigie Airport and is located in the capital of Castries.

Although English is the official language French Patois is still widely spoken by the locals. St. Lucians drive on the left, as in England, and they have a passion for cricket. The island is influenced by many cultures from British to French and the wonderful rich flavours of the Caribbean.

Welcome and enjoy your visit to St. Lucia.
