2 Best Places to Shop in Saint Lucia

Howelton Estate

This arts-and-crafts shop and studio (formerly Caribelle Batik), high atop Morne Fortune, is named for the old Victorian mansion in which the enterprise is housed. Craftspeople demonstrate the art of batik and silk-screen printing, which you can buy in the shop—along with chocolate products, coconut oil products, and gift items, all made in Saint Lucia. There's a terrace where you can have a cool drink and a garden full of tropical orchids and lilies. You can also take a tour of the estate, and they offer chocolate-making workshops.

Sea Island Cotton Shop

High-quality T-shirts, clothing, and resort wear and colorful souvenirs are sold at reasonable prices—and duty free.
