St. Lucia named World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination

The beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia has once again achieved the prestigious accolade of the ‘World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination’ by the World Travel Awards 2008. St. Lucia’s spectacular rainforests, world famous Pitons, sparkling turquoise waters, friendly Caribbean vibe and soft, sandy beaches as well as their world class resorts, makes it a perfect choice for romantic honeymoons.

Hailed as ‘the Oscars of the Travel Industry’, The World Travel Awards is one of the most prestigious events in the travel industry. Awards are voted for by almost 170,000 travel professionals, and the event is attended by the elite of the travel and media world.

“We’re delighted to have won the award for the ‘World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination’ for the eighth year running. St. Lucia has long been recognised as one of the most stunning islands in the world, and every year we’re ensuring we meet the needs of our holidaymakers whilst remaining true to the beauty of the island.” Debbie Melchor, St. Lucia Tourist Board.

St. Lucia boasts a variety of accommodation, from simple St. Lucian style guesthouses and exclusive boutique hotels, to spacious villas and romantic ‘couples only’ all-inclusive resorts.

Honeymooners can’t fail to sink blissfully into married life engulfed in the romantic ambiance of St. Lucia. The extraordinary twin Pitons, the bubbling Sulphur Springs, dramatic scenery and miles upon miles of lush tropical rainforest, set the perfect scene for couples in love.

Travel to this stunning Caribbean island has never been easier, with direct flights three times a week from Gatwick with Virgin Atlantic, as well as a direct flight once a week from Manchester. British Airways now also fly direct to St. Lucia three times a week from Gatwick.
