ST. LUCIA, WEST INDIES -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- Celebrate fall Saint Lucia-style with an escape to stunning Calabash Cove Resort & Spa, which offers its lowest rates of the year through December 22. Autumn is a great time to experience the Caribbean's most beautiful island, with a bountiful harvest of reasons to come:

• Plan a romantic getaway to reconnect as a couple once the kids go back to school, or simply delay putting away the beachwear and sandals as the air begins to turn crisp back home. Average temperatures in October average a perfect 80 degrees Fahrenheit in Saint Lucia.
• Give thanks in paradise, where some of autumn's favorite spices grow abundantly -- the island produces a great deal of the world's nutmeg, for example. Pumpkins are also popular in Saint Lucia beyond Jack-o-Lanterns and pie (try the island's famed pumpkin soup). The antioxidant-rich vegetable also stars in Ti Spa at Calabash Cove's popular Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub.
• De-stress before the winter holidays hit full force. Do your holiday gift shopping in Saint Lucia's charming shops, often at duty-free prices.

During your stay at Calabash Cove, soak up the island's beauty at the resort -- lounging on our secluded, pristine white sand beach or Sweetwaters, our oversized infinity-edge pool and swim-up bar -- or choose from a plethora of land and sea excursions. Hike to the summit of its landmark Pitons, snorkel or sail the Caribbean's translucent blue, soak in natural hot springs and mineral baths, cool off under a tropical waterfall, ride a zip-line or aerial tram through a rainforest canopy ... the list goes on and on with activities to suit every desire.

Rates start at $385 per night through December 22, 2012.
