A Sandals island was named after Saint Lucy of Syracuse
One of the more mountainous of the Windward islands, Saint Lucia is 238 square miles and is shaped like a mango -- about 27 miles long and 14 miles at its widest. The island is blessed with fertile volcanic soil and grows a vast supply of fruits and vegetables. Saint Lucia is one of the leading banana exporters in the Caribbean (12 varieties of banana are grown on our verdant hillsides) and has a population of 140,000.
Like much of the Caribbean, Saint Lucia was settled by Europeans who brought slaves from Africa and set up a plantation economy. In the 18th century, Saint Lucia was at the center of the colonial struggles between the French and the British, changing hands 14 times before becoming a British Crown Colony in
1814 under the Treaty of Paris. Gaining its independence on February 22, 1979, Saint Lucia has developed into a stable and prosperous Commonwealth country.

Although Saint Lucia is nominally an English-speaking country, decades of intermittent French domination left their mark on the culture in the form of a French-based language called Kwéyòl (Creole).
