Discover Saint Lucia’s Underwater
Treasures
The Soufrière Marine Management Area (SMMA) in
Saint Lucia is a beautiful marine reserve, with coral
reefs covering more than half of the area. Boasting a
diverse marine life, the coral reefs are home to 168
finfish species. It is not unusual to see whales and pods
of dolphins in the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea; the
most commonly sighted are pilot whales, sperm whales
and humpbacks. At the foot of the majestic Pitons, the
mountain slope continues down underwater, where
divers will find rich marine biodiversity. Submerge
into the vivid underwater world with your loved one
and see soft and hard corals pass before your eyes like
a kaleidoscope. Feel liberated as you immerse yourself
in the wonders of Saint Lucia’s underwater world
among the schools of iridescent parrotfish, snappers,
wrasses, pikes and other fishes that roam around the
multi-coloured sponges and corals.
The Ultimate Romantic Getaway
Located near the Pitons, the town of Soufrière is said
to be the birthplace of Josephine, the first wife of
Napoleon and the first Empress of France. Soufrière
has the highest concentration of luxury resorts, with
the majestic Pitons and beautiful powdery white
sand beaches as a backdrop. Enjoy a romantic stay
at a luxurious resort nestled in a rainforest, built on
a volcano ridgeline 1,000ft above sea level, with
open-walled rooms that offer a spectacular view of the
