Travel Tips

Come on Down!

Travel to St. Lucia is easy. Enjoy direct and non-stop flights from many major US, Canadian, and European cities. Most international flights arrive at St. Lucia’s Hewanorra International Airport (UVF), located in Vieux Forte, an approximately 60-minute drive to the resort. Regional carriers and private planes fly into St. Lucia’s George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU), located in Castries, about 10 minutes from the resort. Taxis are easily available at both airports. We always recommend arriving at the airport at least two hours prior to your flight for international travel.

Airport Transfers

If you do not have pre-arranged airport transfer, have no fear. Taxis are easily available at both airports. For adventurous travelers, helicopter transfers are also available from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) to George F.L. Charles Airport (SLU).

How’s the Weather?

Ahhhh….warm, sunny, and tropical with lovely breezes! Bring your swimsuit, hat, sunglasses, sandals, and warm weather clothing. We also recommend sun-block lotion for days at the beach or pool. In the winter months, we can get some cool breezes at night so you may want to bring a long sleeve shirt, or a light sweater or windbreaker. For today’s weather, click here.
