There are two airports in St Lucia, Hewanorra International Airport, in Vieux Fort (UVF) (five minutes from the campus) and Castries Airport (SLU). We strongly recommend arrival into UVF where you can be greeted by a IAU Public Relations Officer. Airlines serving Hewanorra include American Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways, Delta Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, to name a few. Castries (SLU) is a $100, sixty-minute, taxi ride to the campus.

Visiting St Lucia

We will help to arrange transportation and accommodations. We recommend either the Kimatrai Hotel or Coconut Bay Rsort & Spa which are a 5-minute drive to the main campus.
