On my trip to St. Lucia, I stayed at Cap Maison Resort & Spa, one of my favorite hotels EVER. This resort has one of the best beaches on the island, two of the best restaurants on the island, two pools, complimentary water sports, and most of the rooms are villas with a plunge pool or hot tub. So here are my favorite pictures of Cap Maison in St. Lucia to inspire your travel plans!

The best things to do in St. Lucia are to sail along the Caribbean side of the island (for epic views of the Pitons!), hike the Tet Paul Nature Trail, go horseback riding, snorkel, sea kayak, explore Pigeon Island, ride the Aerial Tram, and eat at a couple of these restaurants.

Budget Trip: $165/day
Midrange: $275/day
High End: $600/day
What is the best time of year to go to St Lucia?
The best time to visit St. Lucia for the best weather is November to April. These Winter and early spring months have sunny days in the mid-70s and mid-80s.
The best time to visit St. Lucia on a budget is June – October, during the rainy season when crowds and prices are at their lowest.
How many days do you need in St Lucia?
A week is the perfect amount of time to spend in St. Lucia. This will give you plenty of time to explore the island, have beach days, and enjoy the luxury of your hotel, resort, or vacation home. I recommend flying in and out of St. Lucia on Sunday because traffic is at its lowest for airport transfers, and many restaurants, shops, and attractions are closed on Sundays.
What should I know about St Lucia?
1. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$). Exchange rates are subject to fluctuations, so be sure to check this as your trip approaches. On average, EC$1 is equal to about £.28 British Pounds, $.37 U.S., €,31, and 2.45 Chinese Yuan.
2. Visa, American Express and MasterCard are widely accepted at hotels, car-rental agencies, shops, and restaurants. Most places will quote you in U.S. dollars, and you can pay in US$ or the equivalent of EC$.
3. ATMs are available at bank branches and shopping centers throughout the island to get Eastern Caribbean dollars. Most hotels and resorts can also exchange money for you.
4. Tap water is drinkable in Saint Lucia, so if you don’t want to pay for water at restaurants, you can ask for ‘regular’ water, which is cold tap water. You can also order still or sparkling water, which will come in a bottle for a fee.
5. Electrical outlets in St. Lucia are Type G. So if you’re from the U.K., you won’t need an outlet adaptor. But U.S., European, and other travelers will need an adaptor.
When should you not go to St Lucia?
St. Lucia’s rainy season is from June to November. During these months, there will be a chance of rain every day. The summer and fall is also hurricane season, which peaks in September and October. But the island rarely gets directly hit by a storm or hurricane, so you can score some budget accommodation and tour deals during these months.
Is St Lucia a safe place to visit?
I felt very safe during my entire trip to St. Lucia. The country has a low crime rate, but, as with any destination, you need to take precautions to keep yourself safe. Don’t walk by yourself at night, stay in a secure and well-located hotel or vacation home, use slash-proof, lockable, and RFID-protected bags and purses, and always have a charged cell phone with you.
Is food expensive in St. Lucia?
Street food is relatively cheap, between $2-4. Lunch at a local restaurant will be around $20. A two-course evening meal will start at $45 and go up from there. You’ll want to budget around $7.50 per alcoholic drink.
Is it safe to swim in St. Lucia?
Every beach on the island, including those that are part of the top resorts, is open to the public. Beaches on the eastern side of the island are considered safe for swimming, though you should still take all possible precautions. Beaches on the island’s western side are not safe for swimming, but these beaches are fun to explore via jeeps or horseback.
