Our specialists have explored this isle of spice, from its mountainous interior to the never-busy beaches, and can suggest how to include it on your trip through the Caribbean.

Blue Horizons Garden Resort and Saint Lucia Pitons
Company Reviews
Japan , our holiday of a lifetime
Audley took into account our budget. They booked mid range hotels that were fabulous and close to train networks for ease of travel.
I cannot think of one criticism at all. The G7 summit threw up some last minute problems with our booking which Jo dealt with on our behalf , she fully consulted us throughout.
Audley ensured we had the most amazing holiday. I have no hesitation in recommending them based on my personal experience and would definitely use them again if I were to have another long distance holiday.
Excellent all round
Brilliant comminication throughout
The communication with him was excellent and though I emailed lots of questions, these were constantly dealt with quickly and professionally. The advice and support we received was faultless and greatly appreciated.
It was good to have our final itinerary both electronically and in a folder, we used both quite extensively whilst we were away.
The accommodation booked for us was lovely and we checked in to all venues without any problems.
Our trip was a huge success and will be remembered for ever.
I had used Audley before several years ago for a New Zealand trip and was very glad I returned to them for this trip.
KL & Borneo
Katie took her time to get know us and our personalities which enabled her to plan & recommend one of the best trip that we have done.
In KL, Katie chose the hotel Ruma and arranged the best room with a view of the Petronas Towers which did not exist when we visited KL on honeymoon. She recommended the Banyan Tree Horizon Restaurant for our Anniversary dinner which had exceptional views of the city.
We had a fab street food tour with Bala who went above and beyond taking us on the Metro to show us where to get the metro the next day for our own planned visit for the Batu Caves, and giving us use of his KL equivalent of the Oyster card to use on the train. His historical knowledge of KL is exceptional and you will not be bored with him as your guide.
We done KL, along with 3 different areas of Borneo (Sepilok Lodge located next to the orangutan sanctuary and not far from the rainforest discovery centre, Sukau Rain Forest Lodge along the Kinabatangan River & The Borneo Rainforest in Danum Valley) finishing off on stunning Gaya Island.
Katie was very good in grounding our expectation in sightings of wildlife as "wildlife are just that, wild" and nothing can be guaranteed. But we did actually see "Borneo's Big 5" & all in the wild not just in the Sanctuaries. The highlight being a large herd of elephants crossing the River, our guide Jafa who has guided on the river for 10 years only sees this happen 2 or 3 times a year, along with seeing wild Orangutan at Danum Valley.
Farah our guide in Danum Valley was exceptional also and her love of the Rainforest was contagious.
Finishing off at Gaya Island Resort we where truly spoilt our room was exceptional and time take to decorate a welcoming with a Happy Anniversary message, we enjoyed the spa with a lovely massage, snorkelled the coral garden and kayaked among the mangroves.
We had the most wonderful Anniversary Meal on our actual anniversary in the Fisherman's Cove Restaurant. The staff could not do enough to ensure our celebrations where as memorable as the rest of the Holiday.
Make the phone call, have the chat, listen to the advice, go with the recommendation you will not be disappointed.
I am still buzzing whenever I talk about Borneo.
This was our first booking with Audley and it will not be our last.
A Stellar Honeymoon Planned By Shea
From our first consultation, it was clear Shea was not just going to be an agent who booked flights and hotels. She took the time to get to know us, our interests, hobbies, and what we dreamt our honeymoon would be. Shea's approach was exceptionally personalised, and she sought to ensure our trip to Australia and New Zealand would be more than just a trip; it would be a unique journey tailored to us as a couple.
Her knowledge and love for these countries were evident and instilled us with confidence. Shea's impeccable attention to detail, ability to anticipate our needs, and seamless coordination skills made the entire planning process a breeze. She recommended a combination of popular tourist spots and hidden gems that only someone with her deep knowledge could provide.
The level of personal attention Shea provided was second to none. We had access to her for any queries or issues, and she handled everything with professionalism and a reassuring calm that allowed us to relax and enjoy our honeymoon completely.
Hotels were selected with meticulous attention to quality and location, and each one had a distinct charm that resonated with the local culture. Every transfer was pre-arranged, and we were provided with comprehensive itineraries, leaving us stress-free.
We cannot express our gratitude enough for Shea’s expertise, dedication, and warmth. She didn't just plan our honeymoon; she crafted an unforgettable experience that echoed our dreams and desires.
We wholeheartedly recommend Shea to any couple seeking an impeccably organized, personalized, and dream-like honeymoon. She has a gift for making your travel dreams come true, and we are so thankful that she was a part of our journey.
Safe travels, and prepare to be wowed if you're lucky enough to work with Shea.
The most memorable and wonderful holiday
I explained to Sam that the holiday was for my 60th birthday and he designed a trip that meant we would end up at a beach resort on the actual day and it was just perfect! We started in Tortuguero and then on to Arenal, Monteverde and finally Manual Antonio. Every location was so different and we loved all the hotels Sam chose. He planned the perfect amount of excursions and every day was an adventure even when transferring from one location to another, we had really knowledgeable and enthusiasic guides from their partners in CS, Swiss Travel. The attention to detail was exceptional and Sam took on board everything we had discussed in our initial conversation. He was in regular contact with us as he was planning itinerary and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had the perfect holiday.
Costa Rica was everything we hoped for and more - an amazing country with amazing people and thanks to Sam and Audley Travel we saw it in the best way possible.
I cannot recommend Audley Travel highly enough and Sam Clarke was fantastic!

Optional Activities
Blue Horizons Garden Resort
Close to the beautiful Grand Anse Beach but nestled in mature tropical gardens, Blue Horizons offers peace and tranquility as well as authentic, old school, Caribbean charm and excellent value for money.
A far cry from the large Caribbean resorts, Blue Horizons is a small, simple hotel that's locally owned and run. You won't find a glitzy bar and the latest interior design trends here but you will get highly personal service from local staff, the chance to walk to corner shops and meet the islanders, and a real insight into life in Grenada. The hotel is located a five minute walk from the island's best beach, there's a lovely pool and options to sail, kayak or snorkel in the turquoise seas. The grounds are also good for birdwatching with over 20 species seen here and you can borrow binoculars or take a guided walk. Cook for yourself, eat in the hotel restaurant with its lovely views of the bay or meander up to the busier end of the beach for a choice of bars and restaurants.
The hotel's 32 cottage-style rooms are well spread out across the gardens offering a sense of privacy and seclusion. Although simple in style, they are spacious and comfortable with the added bonus of a kitchenette and balcony.
Description
Blue Horizons Garden Resort is a tranquil retreat set in mature tropical gardens. Family owned and run, you can tell that real care has been put into the hotel and it has an old-school Caribbean feel. The owner, Arnold can often be observed strolling through the grounds, chatting to guests.
With only 32 rooms spread across the gardens, there’s a great feeling of space at the hotel and the white sands of Grand Anse Beach are approximately 300 m (984 ft) away. It may not have the facilities of larger resorts, but there’s a genuine, relaxed Grenadian feel. Each room has self-catering facilities so you can cook, dine in the hotel restaurant or walk to one of the nearby restaurants.
For families
Children are very welcome here, a range of board games and puzzles are available from the Hospitality Desk. Babysitting services are available upon request, at a charge.
Location
Blue Horizons is built into a gently-rising hill on the southwest coast of Grenada, within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Grand Anse. The capital, St George's is only a 15 minute drive away.
The hotel is set approximately 300 m (984 ft) from Grand Anse Beach, arguably one of the best on the island. Despite being popular with both locals and visitors, the beach is large enough that it never feels crowded and the southern end, which Blue Horizons is closest to, is the quietest.
Saint Lucia Pitons
Location: Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is an intriguing blend of cultures originating from the island’s first Amerinidian inhabitants as well as French and British colonists who bought African slaves to the island during the slave trade. Although English is the main language, most islanders still speak Kweyol, similar to French.
The southwest coast, characterized by silvery-black volcanic sands and steep hills blanketed in rainforest, is also where you’ll find Saint Lucia’s second city, Soufrière, and the twin Piton mountains, the island’s most iconic natural wonder. The coastline in this part of the island is punctuated by hidden coves and colorful reefs that offer incredible snorkeling and diving, while the wilder Atlantic coast to the east has barely been touched by tourism.
The northwest is home to the charming capital, Castries, along with the majority of the resorts. The beaches in this part of the island tend toward the Caribbean idyll of sweeping golden beaches and swaying palms, and nightlife centers around the characterful restaurants and buzzing bars of Rodney Bay Village.
The mountainous interior is still home to many banana and cocoa plantations, once the mainstay of the island’s economy, and it’s also ideal terrain for hiking, climbing, birdwatching or zip-lining through the jungle canopy. It’s not all about high octane adventure though; Saint Lucia is also one of the most romantic destinations in the Caribbean, equally suited to relaxation and luxurious indulgence.

Accommodations
Accommodations: Fond Doux Plantation and Resort
Tucked amidst a 250-year-old working cocoa plantation, Found Doux is a simple, family-run hotel close to Saint Lucia’s twin pitons. Surrounded by thick rainforest it’s world’s away from Saint Lucia’s beach resorts, offering a peaceful, secluded escape.
The 15 cottages here are a great base from which to explore the rugged south of the island which is defined by dramatic volcanic scenery, an array of birdlife and deep-green forest. Nature trails run right through the estate and there’s a real effort to support the environment; guests are encouraged to plant a tree to commemorate their stay.
Fond Doux Plantation has a rustic, traditional charm with local staff and a focus on Saint Lucian culture — many of the furnishings are locally made. A great way to experience Saint Lucia’s heritage and natural beauty, they offer a selection of experiences to encourage you to explore the local surroundings, and find out more about traditional chocolate making techniques.
