St. Lucia

St Lucia

$1,799.00

St. Lucia is part of the volcanic islands that make up the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. Topside the island is lush and green and one of the most scenic islands in the West Indies. Some of the greatest attractions are the beautiful Pitons, twin mountain peaks that rise vertically out of the sea; the sulphur springs, a unique drive in volcano where opencauldrons of sulphur bubble and the Louis XVI mineral baths known for their therapeutic value. Anse Chastanet, our host hotel, is nestled in the middle of 400 acres on a breathtaking hillside with a fabulous view of the Pitons. One of the island's best beaches is located here and the sheltered bay area it sits in is home to a spectacular reef which ranges from 20 to 140 feet in depth. Finger, brain, flower and leaf coarl line the area along with a variety of tube, barrel and base sponges. All of this creates a bright mix of color and shelter for the many fish and crustaceans that inhabit the reef. Now it is also known for its affordable luxurious accommodations.

C of the "ABC" islands

Curacao

Curacao is one of the five islands of the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean. It is located 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela, 42 miles east of Aruba, and 30 miles west of Bonaire, and is the largest of the five islands. Breezes Curacao Resort & Spa sits on 1500 feet of pure white sand, beside crystal clear waters that have beckoned Scuba divers from around the world. Even though the island is located just off the coast of Venezuela, it remains a largely undiscovered gem in the Caribbean. The resort is adjacent to a pristine Undersea National Park, so you'll feel like you've entered your own private sanctuary.
