Honeymoon in St. Lucia
The Caribbean island with mountains — and the Piton view that defines it.
Why St. Lucia works as a honeymoon
St. Lucia is the rare Caribbean island with real topography: the twin Piton volcanic peaks plunge directly into the sea, and the best resorts have rooms framing them. Easy direct flights make it the top US honeymoon for couples short on PTO.
