Paradisiacal and Enthralling, St. Lucia Welcomes You

 

The island of St. Lucia, part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, is a destination for those seeking the beautifully pristine wonder of a little developed island paradise. St. Lucia’s magnificent forests, beaches, and diverse culture are a huge draw for shrewd excursionists. Formed of volcanic rock, St. Lucia’s mountainous landscape is most famously known by its Piton mountain range, a well-known landmark of the sparkling Caribbean. In 2003, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) named St. Lucia’s Pitons Management Area (PMA) a World Heritage Site (WHO). UNESCO awards WHO status to areas of the world that are determined to have an overwhelming universal value for people around the globe. The people of St. Lucia have taken great care to preserve and conserve the gifts of the island’s environment, making it a truly awe-inspiring place for a second home. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a lush forest of beautiful flora and fauna?

Other than the island’s obvious beauty are other factors that make St. Lucia a quintessential locale to purchase second-home or vacation real estate. Year-round temperatures average 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the official language of the little island is English, so communication with locals is easy, the buying process is relatively straightforward, and the real estate market has seen growth matching that of other popular Caribbean destinations.

St. Lucia is a parliamentary democracy and Queen Elizabeth II is head of state.  The structure is comparable to that of the United Kingdom with a Prime Minister and cabinet. Two international airports and a number of non-stop flight services are available from the United States, Canada, and Europe making it easy to plan your stays at your new vacation home.
