Which part of St Lucia is best to stay?

Rodney Bay is one of the best parts of Saint Lucia to stay. Those looking to escape the crowds can find a few casual and quieter bars in Rodney Bay, as well as in the nearby Rodney Bay Marina where you'll find pizza and sushi spots, and other highly rated restaurants and outdoor/patio setups.



The "best" part of St. Lucia depends on your vacation style. The North (Rodney Bay and Gros Islet) is best for those seeking nightlife, a wide variety of restaurants, and beautiful golden sand beaches like Reduit Beach; it is more developed and "bustling." The South (Soufrière) is best for nature lovers and romantics; it is home to the iconic Pitons, lush rainforests, and "Sugar Beach." This area features more high-end, eco-luxury resorts with dramatic views but is much quieter and more rugged. For a middle ground, Marigot Bay offers a picturesque, yacht-filled harbor with boutique hotels and a relaxed atmosphere. If you are a budget traveler, the area near Vieux Fort in the far south offers more affordable local guesthouses. Most experts recommend a "split stay"—spending 3 days in the North for the activities and 4 days in the South for the scenery—to experience the full diversity of the island.
