St Lucia Highlights and Rum

Discover traditional handicrafts and taste the local tipple on a scenic journey around St Lucia.

Sip a fruit punch (or perhaps one with rum) as you admire the artworks on show at the 19th-century Howelton Estate. The wall hangings in particular are renowned for their beauty – perhaps you’ll buy one to take home?

Visit Eudovic’s Art Studio to marvel at the finest native woodwork, carefully crafted from ancient roots found deep in the rainforest. And, at the island’s sole rum distillery, find out how the beloved nectar is made and try the finished product.

During your panoramic drives between attractions, you’ll be treated to stunning vistas. Stop for photos at Morne Fortuné – the hilltop spot that overlooks Castries and its harbour (is that your ship below?) – and visit the Marigot Bay viewpoint to take in mesmerising coastal scenes of emerald palms, white shores and electric-blue water.
