The authentic St Lucian vibe however can be found in Gros Islet just a few minutes from Villa Calabash, where the historic streets are lined with rum shops and fishing shacks draped with drying nets, and the sound of reggae can always be heard day and night. Delve into culinary delights such as freshly cut coconut, BBQ chicken and freshly caught cod, and party the night away at a Jump Up – the fabulous rum infused street parties this area is famous for.
This dynamic Island offers such a wide range of activities. Head to the epic rainforest in the south and take the canopy tour or for the brave, try ziplining through the trees.
