This island nation is paired with two beautiful mountainous volcanic plugs that helped create the volcanic beaches and reef-diving sites. Visit the top-rated beaches such as the Reduit, Anse Chastanet, and Jalousie beach all giving you that feeling of bliss with the white sand and see-through water.

St. Lucia & Virgin Islands Travel Guide

Best time to visit St. Lucia

o Visit the U.S Virgin Islands


The best time to visit St. Lucia is between April and June. This is because there's very little rainfall, the temperatures are comfortable in the mid-70's to 80's (Between 21-27 degrees Celsius), and it's not the peak tourism season resulting in less expensive lodging and activities along with fewer crowds.

Between December and March is also a good time to go to St. Lucia but this is the peak tourism season so hotel and activity prices can raise as much as 50%!

Between July and November you'll find amazing deals but these months correspond with hurricane season so it's not recommended that you go during this time.
