St Lucia is a strikingly beautiful tropical island, situated in the heart of the Windward Islands chain in the Eastern Caribbean between St Vincent and Martinique. As you sit on a sun drenched shoreline under swaying palms, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect place. Combine this with top class championship golf and the appeal of St Lucia for a golf resort is hard to deny.
“I visited St Lucia earlier this year and was delighted with the natural beauty of the island and the friendliness of its people”, Gary Player remarked about this amazing country after a recent trip.
The timeless traditions of the gentleman’s game are combined with a divine natural setting when it comes to golf on St Lucia. Immaculate greens are bordered by stunning orchids and bromeliads, and manicured fairways overlook the picture perfect turquoise of the ocean. St Lucia is an increasingly popular holiday destination that is also one of the most accessible with a flight time of nine hours from the UK. The St Lucian Government sees expansion of tourism as a key objective and the total number of visitors to St Lucia increased by 19.4% between 2002 and 2007.*The real estate sector is booming and, being a volcanic island, there is limited land suitable to build on, so it will never be overdeveloped. For this reason property prices should readily hold their value.
Visiting golfers are sure to be both inspired and seduced by the splendour of the natural contours of St Lucia and indeed the Gary Player Golf Hotel at The Marquis Estate. |
