St. Lucia Honeymoon Planning Tips

Follow these tips to avoid common St. Lucia honeymoon planning missteps and make sure you can enjoy the best the island has to offer.

Select the right time of year

When to honeymoon in St. Lucia largely depends on your unique preferences. If you want ideal weather, shoot for a trip between December and March. For those who want to save some money and don’t mind temperatures in the mid-to-high-80s, plan your Caribbean honeymoon for the summer months.

Book private airport transport

If you’re staying in a resort in the northern section of the island, it’s best to book private airport transport if you don’t plan on renting a car. This is because the airport is on the southern tip of the island and about a 90-minute drive from the north. If you have a group transport, your transit time might be considerably stretched if the shuttle has to drop off other guests along the way. 

Explore Castries

Be sure to check Castries, the capital of the island, as it’s one of the best ways to fully immerse yourself in local culture. Top activities include exploring the French and British colonial buildings and town squares, eating Creole street food, and shopping at the crafts market that includes wood carvings, paintings, clothing, cocoa, and other treasures. 

Go on a mountain hike

One of the island’s most striking features, the Piton mountains, offers a variety of hiking trails that can’t be missed. If you want a milder hike, opt for a walk up Gros Piton. Most resorts can arrange guided hikes. 

Check out the diving and snorkeling

St. Lucia is home to some of the world’s best dive sites, so it’s worth it to become scuba certified before you go or take a certification course on the island. If scuba diving isn’t for you, snorkeling is also extraordinary, as it allows you to float above vibrant coral and sea life. Anse Chastanet reef is the prime spot for snorkeling.
