Rodney Bay Saint Lucia: your secret Caribbean hideaway
At some point in their lives, most people have dreamt of escaping to a faraway Caribbean island to soak in the sun, walk under the coconut palms, and sip tropically-flavoured cocktails while the gentle breeze brings in the salty scent of the ocean. The island of Saint Lucia, located between Barbados and Martinique, offers its visitors all that and much more. Saint Lucia is blessed with warm weather all-year-round, exuberant vegetation, idyllic white sand beaches and coves, and towering mountains covered in lush greenery. Saint Lucia has become the favourite luxury holiday destination of well-heeled tourists and businesspeople, so the island boasts modern facilities that combine perfectly well with its natural beauty. Rodney Bay is located in the North West of Saint Lucia and is a favourite spot for cruising and sailing. Its marina is often teeming with yachts from every corner of the world. The bay is well communicated with Saint Lucia's airport and with the rest of the island.
