Take a dip in St Lucia’s calm, crystal-clear waters or flop on one of its spectacular beaches. Scale the towering Pitons, drive into the heart of a volcano or journey through lush, tropical forests. Whether you want to laze about or go all out, St Lucia has it all.

Luxury lovers will certainly be spoiled for choice at the new four-star Bay Gardens Beach Resort (020 8679 2508, www.baygardensbeachresort.com), situated on the glorious Reduit Beach in St Lucia’s Rodney Bay Village. Here you can go horseback riding through the surf, indulge in an in-room massage, play a round of championship golf – and swim, snorkel or sunbathe along three kilometres of white-sand beaches.
