LOCATION
At latitude 13 54’ north of the Equator and 60 50’ west, Saint Lucia is an island in the
Caribbean Sea, which is south of Florida and the U.S. Gulf States.
One of the Windward Islands, we are situated between Martinique 21 miles from our
Northern tip and St. Vincent 26 miles from our Southern tip. Both are visible on a clear day.
Barbados is 110 miles southeast. The island is 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, a total of
238sq. miles.
One of the wonderful things about St Lucia is the wide choice of transportation available to
the Island. There are more than a dozen airlines that service St Lucia’s two airports
Hewanorra International Airport and George Charles Airport, from a host of international
and local destinations. For those visitors arriving by sea, cruise lines and local ferry’s tie up
daily at Port Castries and Soufriere. Whether you choose to fly direct, stop off on a cruise or
just pop over from one of the neighboring islands you will find a warm Caribbean welcome
awaits you.
The island is 238 sq. miles (616 sq. km), 27 miles long, 14 miles wide with a combination
of high mountains, forests, low lying lands and beaches. A central mountain range runs the
length of the island, with peaks ranging between 1000 and 3145 feet. Forests dominate the
mountains, while jasmine, scarlet chenille and wild orchids provide splashes of colour to
the lush green slopes. The two towering volcanic cones on the southwest coast, Gros Piton
(797m) and Petit Piton (750m) are one of the Caribbean’s most famous landmarks. The
volcanic origin of the island provides visitors with an opportunity to visit a “drive-in
volcano” and take a dip in the reputedly therapeutic Sulphur springs.
