About Castries

From Hewanorra in the south, the usual route to Castries follows the east coast highway through Micoud and Dennery, then climbs over the forested central ridge and drops down into the capital. Allow about 1¼ hours depending on traffic coming into town.

Castries is Saint Lucia's capital and main cruise port. The colourful Central Market, Derek Walcott Square and the harbour-front duty-free shopping are all within a short walk of most city hotels.

Tip: if your flight comes in from a nearby island, check whether you're landing at George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU). It's right on the edge of Castries, only minutes from the city centre.
