Few islands in the world can boast of the natural beauty found in St Lucia. Possessing the most gorgeous mountain views in the world, St Lucia stands alone in its charm and magnificence. In the Eastern Caribbean, the island's gentle tradewinds make it a sailor's paradise. And Harmony Suites on St Lucia protected Rodney Bay is a prime place to rest your soul, for your yacht for a week, a month, or a season. St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about--a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown. One of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, it is located midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of Barbados. St. Lucia is only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, with a shape that is said to resemble either a mango or an avocado (depending on your taste). The Atlantic Ocean kisses its eastern shore, while the beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to the calm Caribbean Sea. In natural beauty, St. Lucia seems like an island plucked from the South Pacific and set down in the Caribbean. Its dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet up from the sea, sheltering magnificent rain forests where wild orchids, giant ferns, and birds of paradise flourish. Brilliantly-plumed tropical birds abound, including endangered species like the indigenous St. Lucia parrot. The rainforest is broken only by verdant fields and orchards of banana, coconut, mango, and papaya trees. St. Lucia has been inhabited since long before colonial times, and its cultural treasures are a fascinating melange of its rich past and its many different traditions. The island's people have earned a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm, and the island itself is dotted with aged fortresses, small villages, and open-air markets. Hewanorra International Airport is 40 miles south and Vigie Airport is 12 miles south in the capital city of Castries. On a day tour you'll gaze at the magnificence of St Lucia's two volcanic Pitons. In their shadow plunges a tall waterfall named Diamond Falls surrounded by a tropical botanical garden. And not far away bubbles the worlds only drive-in steaming sulphur volcano. The mountains above are filled with orchids, equatorial ferns and screeching parrots, lush is an inadequate term to describe the sight. A drive up the island's east coast takes you through quaint villages and along coastal views whose ruggedness is more than splendid. Or you can elect to simply take a shopping tour of Castries where you can find local crafts and exotic batik. AMENITIES: We have 30 elegant suites, tastefully decorated with Rattan furniture, soothing pastels and warm tropical prints. And for sumptuous dining pleasures you'll enjoy the service, ambiance and view of our Mortar and Pestle Restaurant and Bar. A wide variety of freshly caught and expertly prepared seafood, as well as our highly recommended Caribbean and European cuisine is served daily beneath the elegance of our gazebo styled waterfront restaurant. The Mortar and Pestle is the traditional kitchen utensil used to blend the unique spices that give Caribbean cuisine its flavour. Caribbean cuisine itself is a rich mixture of African, European, Indian, Chinese, and Amerindian foods. We present a selection of delicious Caribbean Heritage dishes from most of the Territories.
