Rising from the waters of the Eastern Caribbean, St Lucia forms part of a chain of volcanic islands known as the Lesser Antilles. Also known as the Helen of the West, which got its name from the French, who named her after St. Lucy of Syracuse.
Located northeast of the island of St. Vincent, northwest of Barbados and south of Martinique. St Lucia may only be a small island but its landscape is incredibly varied with breath-taking mountains, lush rainforests, wonderful wildlife, volcanic sand beaches and colourful coral reefs.
Saint Lucia is no ordinary island with equal parts beauty and mystique captivating anyone who sets foot on her coastline. Always evocative, she welcomes visitors with her soothing waves, warm beaches, fascinating culture and hospitable people.
A Saint Lucia passport allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to over 142 countries including Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, and Europe’s Schengen Area, among others.
Being a member of the Commonwealth citizens can enjoy certain privileges in the UK and other Commonwealth countries. With no tax on capital, wealth and inheritance, no residency requirements, and second citizenship that requires no visit to obtain, Saint Lucia has become one of the top destinations for people looking for easier travel, tax planning and wealth protection.

We select properties that we consider offer something a little different and will always be in demand when the time comes to sell. The figures quoted for rental yields and capital appreciation are independently validated via annual real estate reports. As are the market prices. We only recommend companies with a proven track record not only in construction and on-time delivery but as importantly in looking after our clients.
