Legend has it that this Caribbean island was named by shipwrecked French sailors who landed on its beaches on the feast day of Santa Lucia. Centuries later, it remains a sunny destination for travellers, who come for jungle hikes, mud baths, and trips through the world’s only “drive-in volcano.” Deepen your connection to this nation at the Saint Lucia Pavilion, which chronicles the island’s dramatic history from tribal heritage to colonisation to independence. You can also explore Carib and Arawak artefacts and traditional artwork, and learn how Saint Lucia’s focus on sustainable ecotourism aims to keep this oasis lush for future generations.
