Paradise Found: The Magic of Soufriere, Saint Lucia.
Originally the capital of Saint Lucia, Soufriere is a picturesque fishing village on the southwest coast the this majestic eastern Caribbean island.
Soufriere has endured countless hurricanes, a major fire and earthquake - always rebounding and rebuilding with an even stronger foundation.
There are several notable luxury resorts in Soufriere. The Anse Chastanet, Ladera Resort, and Jade Mountain are among the more common destinations. There are many other lesser known boutique hotels such as the Still Beach House, La Haut Resort, the Downtown and the Hummingbird Beach Resort - all great hotel choices for your upcoming vacation.
The notable Gros and Petit Pitons are just south of the town's center. There are also drive-in volcanos and sulfurous steaming mudbaths resulting in the distinct aroma.
The people of this small fishing village are peaceful and pleasant. Visiting Soufriere transports you to a time when life was simple, people kind and activities were slow paced and unrushed.
Strolling through the city's center, you'll find women selling vegetable and fruit from their carts and children playing along the seashore.
When you visit the beautiful island of Saint Lucia, venture beyond the resorts and enjoy the beauty of townships such as Soufriere, Denery and Marigot Bay. Cool off with a Piton beer; put your watch away; laugh, love and live.
