St Lucia Property - Marquis Estate

PROPERTY FOR SALE IN ST LUCIA

Considered to be one of the most romantic destinations in the world, Insight Property Group is delighted to bring you this latest property for sale in St Lucia - a strikingly beautiful tropical island situated at the heart of the Windward chain in the Eastern Caribbean.

Located between St Vincent and Martinique, St Lucia is mountainous and fertile, its spectacular peaks and deep valleys draped in the lush greenery of the rainforest and blooming with tropical splendour. The stunning 158km of coastline offers variety from classic stretches of white sandy beaches to the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, and has some of the finest natural harbours in the Caribbean. The iconic towering Pitons are just two of the island's natural wonders: the spectacular twin volcanic peaks rise majestically from the sea, midway down the Caribbean coast.

As well as being the perfect place to relax and do nothing, St Lucia offers visitors a colourful kaleidoscope of attractions to entertain them. Experience the adventure of exploring its sultry rainforest and swimming in its tropical waterfalls or take advantage of the excellent opportunities for snorkelling and diving in the clear turquoise waters surrounding the island, which are home to a magnificent array of colourful marine life.  St Lucia has a tropical climate with temperatures averaging 27°C and average daily sunshine of 8 to 9 hours.

ST LUCIA - AN INTRODUCTION

St Lucia is an increasingly popular holiday destination that is also one of the most accessible. Three major airlines from the UK provide a direct service to St Lucia with a flight time of nine hours and from 2009 Virgin Atlantic will increase its non-stop flights from the UK to a daily service. A direct service is also available from the US and St Lucia is five hours from New York and three hours from Miami.

The St Lucian Government sees expansion of tourism as a key objective. In 2007 hotel occupancy was 69.7%, meaning that there is excellent rental potential for properties. The total number of visitors increased by 19.4% between 2002 and 2007. In the period January to June 2008, stopover arrivals were up by 9.1% with visitors predominantly from the USA and Europe and increasing numbers from Canada.

The island is still unspoilt and undeveloped and the World Bank has recently placed St Lucia in the top 30 countries in the world to invest, making it the only Caribbean country to make the top 30, ahead of Barbados and Antigua.

The real estate sector in St Lucia is booming and in 2007 it grew by 7.6%. Property prices are still more reasonable than on other islands in the Caribbean and are 40-50% lower than on Barbados. Prices have increased by around 40% per annum for the last 2 years and are projected to continue to rise for the next 5 years. Land prices on the northern tip of St Lucia have doubled over the last three years and are expected to double again in the next two years. As a volcanic island there is limited land suitable to build on, so it will never be overdeveloped and will not have an oversupply of stock. The long term effect of this is that property prices will hold their value.
