　　Head to the north side of the central market, where you'll find fresh produce from the rich countryside, traditional drinks and other items. It's a fine place to get a taste of authentic non-resort St Lucia and try traditional cuisine at bargain prices or just to take a wander amongst the wonderful smells and Castries characters.

Must-see attractions

Sulphur Springs

　　Looking like something off the surface of the moon, the Sulphur Springs are saddled with the unfortunate tagline of being the world’s only drive-in volcano. The reality is far from the garish description. There isn’t a classic crater, or a cauldron of magma, to check out – but it's still...

　　Backed by lush rainforest, this dreamy secluded enclave of sand edges a gently curved cove that's about a 10-minute walk north of Anse Chastanet, or about 30 minutes from town. The resort also has sun loungers and a grill restaurant here but they are tastefully done and don't take away...

　　Sitting castle-like atop a hill, this exclusive resort offers stadium-sized suites (called ‘sanctuaries’), many with private infinity pools. Each unit has an open fourth wall with a heavenly view of the Pitons. Rooms also come with 24-hour butler service. ...

Pigeon Island National Landmark

　　Pigeon Island is a fun place to explore, with paths winding around the remains of barracks, batteries and garrisons; the partially intact stone buildings create a ghost-town effect. The grounds are well endowed with lofty trees, manicured lawns and fine coastal views. Bring a picnic and make a day of...

Fond Doux Plantation & Resort

　　Hidden in the hills to the south of Soufrière, this 250-year-old working cocoa plantation is a great place to unwind. Fifteen tastefully refurbished cottages with private balconies are surrounded by tropical gardens. Some boast private plunge pools. There is also a fine split-level communal pool with great views, and guests...

　　Stretched out in front of the resort of the same name, Anse Chastanet is a fine curving beach. The sheltered bay is protected by high cliffs. The snorkeling just offshore is some of the best on the island; hassle-free access is through the resort, which also offers day passes if...

　　The most famous beach on the island, gorgeous Sugar Beach is spectacularly situated between the two Pitons, ensuring phenomenal views both from the sand and in the water. Like most in the area, it was originally a gray-sand beach – the soft white sands are imported from abroad. There are...

　　A relaxing focal point for any eastern day trip, the Mamiku botanical gardens are located on the grounds of a former plantation and boast an extensive collection of tropical flora including some wonderful orchids. Upon arrival you'll be given a booklet to assist in identifying the 297 named species in...

Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens & Mineral Baths

　　Wander amid tropical flowers and trees at this old estate. The mineral baths date from 1784, when they were built atop hot springs so that the troops of France's King Louis XVI could take advantage of their therapeutic effects. You can take a dip in small public pools among nature...

　　This long stretch of white sand is the most popular beach on the island. The sea ranges from turquoise to azure, the waves are benign and there are plenty of beach activities and cafes at hand. The central part of the beach gets mobbed, so head to the south end...

　　At the southern tip of the island, Sandy Beach is a beautiful strand of white sand that looks out on the rugged Maria Islands. There's always a stiff breeze, making it a hot spot for kitesurfers. It’s also suitable for swimming – on a calm day. It’s never crowded. ...
