Ticking all the right boxes, St Lucia's jungle-clad peaks, the Pitons, rise dramitically from the sea. This picture book Caribbean island has honey coloured beaches and coral reefs, sulphur springs and magnificent waterfalls. Scattered with banana plantations and the occasional clapboard rum shop, listen out for the French-based patois dialect and spot the rare St Lucia parrot in the rainforest.

Local tastes
You'll see West Indian and Créole dishes on the menu including Callaloo soup, made from a leafy green, which tastes similar to spinach and pepperpot stew, a tasty mix of pork, beef, grated cinnamon and brown sugar. Oh, and the fresh seafood is excellent.
