I’m incredibly honoured to share that I have been recognized as a 2025 Global Piton Award winner by the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.

The Global Piton Awards recognize top-performing Saint Lucia travel advisors from around the world — an achievement that feels especially meaningful because Saint Lucia is a destination that has truly captured my heart over the years.

As the owner of Pink Palm Travel, I’ve spent years helping clients experience the beauty, culture, luxury, and warmth of Saint Lucia through carefully planned vacations, destination weddings, honeymoons, group travel experiences, and luxury Caribbean escapes.

To now be recognized by the destination itself is something I’m deeply grateful for.

Why Saint Lucia Means So Much to Me

There are certain destinations that simply stay with you long after you leave — and for me, Saint Lucia has always been one of them.

From the dramatic Pitons rising out of the Caribbean Sea, to the lush rainforest landscapes, incredible cuisine, luxury resorts, and welcoming people, Saint Lucia offers a travel experience that feels both adventurous and deeply relaxing at the same time.

It’s also one of the most versatile islands in the Caribbean.

Whether clients are looking for:

• A romantic honeymoon
• A luxury couples getaway
• A hosted group trip
• Scuba diving and snorkeling
• Wellness and spa experiences
• Golf and pickleball
• Adventure excursions
• Destination weddings
• Or simply time to disconnect and recharge

Saint Lucia consistently delivers.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to experience the island extensively firsthand — staying at multiple resorts, exploring different regions of the island, building relationships with local tourism partners, and helping clients choose the right experience for their travel style.

That firsthand knowledge is something I value deeply in my business.

Building Relationships That Matter

One of the things I love most about working in travel is the relationships built along the way.

Through my work with Saint Lucia and partners across the island, I’ve been fortunate to connect with incredible resort teams, tourism professionals, excursion operators, and hospitality staff who genuinely care about creating exceptional visitor experiences.

Those relationships ultimately benefit my clients as well.

Whether it’s helping coordinate special celebrations, arranging dining reservations, recommending the right excursions, or simply ensuring clients feel taken care of while traveling, having strong destination knowledge and trusted on-island relationships makes a meaningful difference.

It’s one of the reasons I continue returning to Saint Lucia again and again — both personally and professionally.

A Milestone for Pink Palm Travel

Receiving this award also represents an exciting milestone for Pink Palm Travel.

Over the last several years, my business has continued to grow through a strong focus on personalized service, destination expertise, hosted group travel, and luxury Caribbean vacations.

As a travel advisor, I believe the best recommendations come from firsthand experience. I prioritize traveling to the destinations I sell, building relationships within the industry, and staying actively involved in the resorts and destinations my clients trust me to recommend.

Saint Lucia has become one of the core destinations within my business, and I’m incredibly proud to now be recognized globally for the work I’ve done promoting and supporting tourism to the island.

Returning to Saint Lucia for the Global Piton Awards

I’ll be returning to Saint Lucia next month to officially attend the Global Piton Awards ceremony, and I cannot wait to be back on the island once again.

The timing feels especially meaningful as I’ve just wrapped up another incredible hosted group trip at Sandals Halcyon Beach, where my clients experienced everything from catamaran and speedboat excursions to spa days, golf, pickleball, beach time, and unforgettable dinners overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Moments like these continue to reinforce why I love sharing Saint Lucia with my clients so much.

Thank You

To my clients — thank you for trusting me with your vacations and for allowing me to share destinations I genuinely love.

To the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority and all of my incredible partners on the island — thank you for this honour and for the warm hospitality you continue to show both myself and my clients.

And to everyone who has supported Pink Palm Travel along the way — thank you for being part of this journey.

Saint Lucia will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I’m excited to continue sharing its beauty with even more travelers in the years ahead. Connect with me to plan your next stay.
