Emergency numbers
From the section “Emergency services in St Lucia” of the UK government's travel advice for St Lucia, written for British travellers. Reproduced without changes to the wording; formatting adapted.
From the section “Medication” of the UK government's travel advice for St Lucia, written for British travellers. Reproduced without changes to the wording; formatting adapted.
The legal status and regulation of some medicines prescribed or bought in the UK can be different in other countries.
Carry a copy of your prescription for any medications you bring with you, especially any that may be classed as controlled drugs.
Extreme weather and natural disasters
From the section “Extreme weather and natural disasters” of the UK government's travel advice for St Lucia, written for British travellers. Reproduced without changes to the wording; formatting adapted.
The hurricane season often brings heavy rains, which may cause flash floods and landslides. After a storm or hurricane, power, communications, transport and water supplies can be disrupted. Even in holiday resorts, utility services cannot be guaranteed. Flights to and from the UK may be delayed or cancelled.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are a risk in the Caribbean and tremors are occasionally felt in St Lucia. The US Federal Emergency Management Agency website has advice about what to do before, during and after an earthquake.
Volcanoes
Check the alert level of the underwater volcano ‘Kick ‘em Jenny’, located 5 miles off the coast of Grenada. Observe any maritime exclusion zones and follow the advice of the local authorities if there is increased activity or an eruption.
Check the alert level for La Soufriere volcano, located on the nearby island of St Vincent. Its eruption in 2021 sent ash over St Lucia, which caused some disruption.

Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and change often, so Trip Rulebook does not summarise them. Each government explains the rules for its own citizens. If you travel on another passport, check with the embassy or the official immigration website of Saint Lucia.
This page is guidance, not legal advice. Laws and advice change without notice and are written for each government's own citizens, so they may apply to you differently. Confirm everything with the official source before you travel. Terms of use.
