The top 10 Accommodations in Subtropical St. Lucia

Are you looking for a unique experience in an unusual setup? St. Lucia is by far the most diverse regent in all of South Africa. It is a holiday hide away where ocean meets bush and boasts a diversity of one of a kind ecosystems. When planning your holiday, make sure to tailor pick the accommodation, always nice to lay down your head where most comfortable after a day’s fun filled excursions. Although St. Lucia is situated in somewhat of a rustic natural set up, it is not short of a variety of different types of accommodation from modern to rustic including Villas, Lodges, Guest Houses, Cabanas, Bungalows, and Camping not to mention Urban Glamping. This article gives a comprehensive analysis of the top 10 accommodations in Subtropical St. Lucia, based on customer feedback.

St. Lucia is a settlement in Umkhanyakude District in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. A tiny village, yet to be admired, as it was selected World Heritage site in 1999 by the renown global organisation, Unesco. This small but charming village merely has a population of ca. 1100 inhabitants, surrounded by almost 300 hectares of flourishing wetlands. One couldn’t help but wonder if the wild life outnumbers their human, charming neighbours. Hippo’s can still be seen wandering down the streets at night in search of grass in the neighbourhood’s front gardens, so do not let them scope you. Do not be fooled by these teddy bear like giants as hippos may appear to be heavy and slow, mind you they can run at 30 km/h on land. Hippos can run faster than the fastest human in the world, but there’s good news, hippos are incapable of jumping. This piece of information together with the advice to walk with a lit torch outside at night is a given to visitors by the locals, ending the sentence:

“You might meet a hippo on your way to and fro the restaurant visit, best you’re prepared.”

A hustle free holiday—St. Lucia in a range of bush, ocean, and estuary activities all in a short distance from each other

On the west is the St. Lucia Estuary and on the east the Indian Ocean. An absolute must-do is the estuary boat trip, sailing on a see where hippos and crocodiles are existing in harmony. Explore the bush life whilst on a game drive, and the marine life on a boat or whilst snorkelling in a space less than meters apart. Cape Vidal beach aligned with some coconut trees and scattered playful vivid monkeys, such a delightful sight. Then there’s the summer highlight when turtles come onto the beach to give birth in summer. Short of nothing, right, a satisfaction for every travellers’ natural appetite. Other activities included: Sunrise Safari tours into iSimangaliso Wetland Park undeniably beautiful; Sunset Safari Tour into the Eastern Shores of iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Bicycle Rentals for some slow exploring; Zulu Cultural Tours; St. Lucia, an everlasting valuable memory. 

St. Lucia is a different type of small town, yes the locals are hospitable but not just them the abundance of wildlife invites the curious travellers to come and experience it all for themselves.
