St Lucia is a small, lush tropical  island that is still relatively unknown and undeveloped.  It  is situated midway down the Eastern Caribbean, just north of Barbados. It is tiny – only 27 miles (43km) long and 14 miles (23km) wide, shaped like an avocado! If you have time to explore, you would be enchanted by the walks, cycling trails and natural beauty spots on the island, including the fascinating Soufriere volcano, with its bubbling sulphur springs
