Elite Island Resorts, already one of the Caribbean region's most well-loved names in hotel accommodations, has added a new hotel to its Caribbean collection in the former Almond Morgan Bay St. Lucia. The hotel has been renamed the Morgan Bay Beach Resort, and is now part of a portfolio of properties operated by Elite in Antigua, Grenada, and Palm Island. The luxury hotel operator is looking for further opportunities as it seeks to become the premier brand in the Caribbean.

"All our resorts are well loved by British holidaymakers and Morgan Bay Beach Resort, St Lucia is a perfect fit with our mix of all inclusive beach front resorts and spas,"said Elite's European managing director Paula Whitehead. "We’ll be working closely with agents and operators as we include it in our training programme and introduce new packages for our target markets."

As a destination for UK tourists, St. Lucia offers a splendid Caribbean getaway featuring plenty of sun, surf, and warm temperatures. The island nation's most important feature however, are the Grand Pitons; two majestic mountain peaks so important to St. Lucia's natural environment and culture, that they've been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pitons may very well be the most well-known symbol of St. Lucia.

St. Lucia is also famous around the world for her volcanic activity which has largely been responsible for sculpting the shape and feel of the island. It is one of only two places in the world offering a "drive in" volcano where tourists can come and observe what a volcano is like up close. Combined with her botanical gardens and world-renowned sulphur springs, St. Lucia is truly a nature lover's paradise -- and then some. You could literally spend an entire week's visit exploring the natural wonders on the island and never even scratch the surface.

If you prefer the natural wonders of the ocean instead, the area has some of the best diving sites anywhere in the world. Between the natural coral reefs, restored shipwrecks, and exotic underwater life, the opportunities lead divers to flock to the Caribbean by the thousands every year. You'll find St. Lucia to be a hospitable host and a perfect base of operations for a week or two of diving.

The new Morgan Bay Beach Resort is just one of the many hotels offeringSt. Lucia all inclusive holidays. Many of the five-star luxury resorts provide accommodations and amenities on par with resorts in some of the world's other great destinations. For discriminating travellers looking for the utmost in luxury in a tropical setting, St. Lucia certainly does not disappoint. You will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive until the time you board your flight for departure.

Airworld Tours, a luxury holiday company based in the UK, has great prices on St. Lucia all inclusive holidays.
