If the Windward Islands of the Caribbean were a jewelled necklace, consider St Lucia to be one of the particularly big sparkly ones, right in the middle. Sitting snugly between the French colony of Martinique to the north and St Vincent & the Grenadines to the south, St Lucia is known as ‘Helen of the West Indies’, and is indeed a place that has launched a thousand ships, albeit of the white, shiny cruise variety.

The Island is a mixture of tropical rainforest, pristine white beaches, palm trees and a turquoise sea, plus the occasional peak of a dormant volcano or two. Life on St Lucia up until now had been simple with an economy driven by bananas and coconuts. However, tourism is now the second most important export after the reliable banana.

Real estate is also now sitting up and paying attention, as St Lucia’s climate, low cost of living, English speaking community and alluring tax incentives provide the foundations for investment success.  Property prices in St. Lucia have increased steadily over the past few years.

St. Lucia made it onto at least three high-profile "what's next"-type lists over the last few years!

Travel + Leisure Magazine named it the "Next Caribbean Hotspot", The New York Times put it on its "Where to Go in 2007" map, while Food & Wine Magazine wrote that St. Lucia was "The Next ‘It’ Island".

The Times chalked St. Lucia's hotness up to the slew of high-end resorts that are opening or have already opened there, Food & Wine wrote about St. Lucia' stunning natural beauty, delicious food and a new spate of top hotels—not to mention some of the best street parties in the Caribbean -, while T+L praised its hotel forecast as well as welcoming residents.

Because of the healthy economic climate, especially in the tourism industry and particularly in Marigot Bay, our Villa in Marigot surely represents a once in a life time investment opportunity.
 

More Info about St. Lucia

St. Lucia lies in the eastern Caribbean Sea about 21 miles south of Martinique and 26 miles north-east of St. Vincent. It is part of the West Indian archipelago which stretches for more than 2,000 miles from Cuba southwards to the northern coast of South America.

The island is the second largest of the Windward group, which themselves are part of the Lesser Antilles, and is 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, covering an area of 238sq miles and with a population of around 150,000.

St. Lucia manages to house an incredibly diverse landscape into a small island. Just along the west coast you'll find breath-taking steep mountains, lush tropical forests, beautiful green hills, jagged cliffs and charming beaches. The Pitons (a United Nations World Heritage site) and Volcano are the most famous sights on the island. 

St. Lucia enjoys a marvellous climate and even when it does rain, it is warm rain and generally does not last. The island lies with the tropical zone in the path of the north-east trade winds and has a typical sub tropical maritime climate of year round sunny, warm weather.

Almost every St. Lucian speaks a patois, a Creole version of French. Many of the names of the island's cities and villages are French. And unlike that of most former British colonies, the population is still primarily Roman Catholic.

In 1979, the last colonial link between Great Britain and St. Lucia was severed when the island achieved full independence. In that same year it became a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
