St. Lucia's Island-Wide Black Friday Deals Make This The Place To Be In 2023

Back in October, the St. Lucia Tourism Authority officially launched a fun new endeavor known as the Kabawé Krawl, which is a little like the pub crawl concept, except it puts a bigger emphasis on local culture and education than anything else. Known for its immense natural beauty and subsequent romantic inspiration, the island also has a very creative culinary scene, and so this is part of a larger effort to allow guests to "live like a local," which includes sipping some excellent rum in very charming bars and restaurants.

When I learned about that initiative, I thought, "Well, now I have zero excuses—it's time to head to St. Lucia," and then, as if a sign from the heavens, the island also rolled out a phenomenal and comprehensive Black Friday and Cyber Monday program. Two dozen hotels, resorts, and rentals, as well as seven experience providers, are offering generous discounts on rooms, upgrades, credits, tours, excursions, cruises—it's the kitchen sink of Black Friday deals.

The resorts and rentals included in this island-wide concept are offering the following discounts:

Akasha Luxury Villa: Up to 20 percent off
