There are nature trails for hiking or horse riding - and the Gros Islet and Rodney Bay centre of tourist activities is only minutes away.

Then relax with a Cocktail in the Veranda Bar before sampling local and international cuisine on the candlelit dining terrace, all with panoramic sea views. We look forward to welcoming you to St. Lucia and to Hotel Capri ... one of the islands best kept secrets! About the island of St. Lucia The untouched beauty of St. Lucia's diverse landscapes combined with the warmth and charm of it's people offer visitors a unique experience. You will find an island of many contrasts, from the dramatic Atlantic coastline ... to the warm sandy beaches and sheltered coves of the Caribbean. The famous Pitons, towering cones of lava, dominate the southern panorama and the "drive-in" volcano at Soufrière. Remains of a fort and battlements in the national park at Pigeon Point are reminders of the Island's turbulent past - changing hands between Britain and France fourteen times. St. Lucia is now an independent member of the British Commonwealth. Set in crystal waters neighbouring Martinique and St. Vincent, St. Lucia is home to a number of rare and indigenous species. Whether exploring the tropical rainforests or marvelling at the protected coral reefs, you will be surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty. Welcome to paradise ...
