Enjoy a tropical paradise in St Lucia without the high price tag

With some of the Caribbean’s most stunning beaches and lush countryside, holidays in St Lucia could happily be spent lounging on silky sands, hiking through rainforests and admiring the natural scenery without spending a penny. And by visiting during the island’s low season from May to November, you can save even more cash on the holiday price.

Smugglers Cove is a great example of where your money can go far while still making the most of the activities and scenery on offer, with glorious sandy beaches and clear waters teeming with colourful sea creatures.

Corinth holidays are all about relaxing on sun-soaked beaches, or the lively city of Castries, which is just a 10-minute drive away, offers open-air markets and shopping for bargains in the duty-free malls. Named after its horseshoe coves of sparkling waters, Rodney Bay has the perfect mix of unspoilt coastlines and a vibrant strip of affordable bars, cafes and restaurants.

While days spent on the beach are a must when holidaying in St Lucia, it’s also the perfect destination for low cost activities and day trips. Smuggler’s Cove Beach for example, is ideally situated next to the island’s only golf course with stunning views of the rolling countryside and ocean.

Corinth is another resort that has an abundance of inexpensive excursions on offer, such as the picturesque Choc Bay. It’s also just a 10-minute drive to Rodney Bay, which is a thriving hub in itself.
