Imagine an island where emerald peaks pierce the sky, where lush rainforest tumbles into the azure Caribbean Sea, and where every sunset paints a masterpiece just for two. Welcome to Saint Lucia, the undisputed reigning queen of romance in the Caribbean. With its iconic Piton mountains, secluded coves, luxurious resorts, and an endless array of activities designed for couples, it’s no wonder Saint Lucia is consistently voted one of the world’s top honeymoon destinations.
If you’re dreaming of an essential romantic escape filled with breathtaking beauty, thrilling adventure, and indulgent pampering, here’s your perfect itinerary for a Saint Lucian honeymoon that will create memories to last a lifetime.
Day 1-2: Arrival in Paradise & Soufrière Serenity
Your Saint Lucian journey typically begins with a scenic drive from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) to the southwestern coast, where the majestic Pitons — Gros Piton and Petit Piton — stand as guardians of paradise. This region, centered around the charming town of Soufrière, is the heart of Saint Lucia’s dramatic beauty and home to many of its most romantic, boutique resorts.
Upon arrival, settle into your chosen haven. Many resorts here offer stunning Piton views, private plunge pools, and unparalleled service. Spend your first day simply unwinding, perhaps with a couples’ massage overlooking the ocean or a leisurely dip in your private pool. In the evening, savor a gourmet dinner, perhaps with fresh, local seafood, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and pink. The sounds of the rainforest and the gentle lapping of waves will be your lullaby.
On day two, embrace soft adventure. Start with a visit to the Sulphur Springs Park, the Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano. Here, you can indulge in a therapeutic mud bath, rich in minerals, followed by a rinse in a warm waterfall – a fun and rejuvenating experience to share. Later, cool off at the stunning Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens, featuring vibrant flora and the multi-colored Diamond Waterfall. For dinner, explore local creole cuisine in Soufrière or enjoy a romantic meal back at your resort.
