Last minute holidays can be an exciting impulsive trip, or perhaps you have been hoping to visit for a while and have been waiting for a last-minute price drop, either way, it is possible to snap up some great last-minute holidays to the beautiful Island of St Lucia. If you do book a last-minute holiday to an all-inclusive resort, you can spend your whole trip lazing back on the beaches and poolside loungers making the most of your pre-paid drinks, food and activities and not require any holiday spending money. However, if you do opt to explore further afield St Lucia offers a wide variety of bucket list excursions such as hiking the famous pitons or ziplining through the rainforest, as well as some idyllic hidden spots for exploring and adventure.
Peak season in St Lucia, which runs from December through to May, goes hand in hand with the dry season so expect to see higher prices and less availability. It is possible to snap up a last-minute deal during peak season, but it is best to be open-minded on resort and hotel preference as there is unlikely to be a vast selection available with St Lucia being one of the most popular Caribbean destinations. The low season in St Lucia runs from June through to November, these months are considered as the wet season with humidity levels and rainfall at their highest. Booking a last-minute holiday during the low season will increase your options and you could find yourself snapping up an incredible deal on price.

All these destinations would be ideal for last-minute holidays if you are lucky enough to snap up a deal to the exquisite Island of St Lucia.
