High on Morne Chastanet, overlooking St. Lucia’s Piton World Heritage site and the Caribbean Sea, Jade Mountain is Anse Chastanet’s new and exclusive resort within a resort. Anse Chastanet’s architect owner, Nick Troubetzkoy, has expanded upon his philosophy of building in harmony with Caribbean nature and environment by introducing a new level of sophistication in the design of Jade Mountain.

The bold architectural design with individual bridges leading to the extraordinary infinity pool suites and columns reaching towards the sky makes Jade Mountain one of the Caribbean’s most mesmerizing resort experiences.

Expect grand sweeping spaces beyond your imagination, with your bedroom, living area and extravagantly sized private infinity edge pool gliding into one another to form an amazing platform floating in space, with the 4th wall missing entirely – the result is a stage-like setting from which to embrace the full glory – and infinite views – of St. Lucia’s twin Pitons and the shimmering Caribbean Sea – a view you are not likely to ever forget.

Jade Mountain has its own exclusive reception area and concierge services. Fine clothing and gifts are available at the resort’s boutique, “Shades of Jade”. A special a la carte spa menu has been created to offer spa treatments in the privacy of each Jade Mountain sanctuary.

Integral to the suites is the Jade Mountain Club – a casual space in which to enjoy a drink or light meal. The club centre also features a large communal infinity pool. Hovering in space above the Jade Mountain Club is the Celestial Terrace.

The Jade Mountain resort suites are deliberately techno-free just like the rest of Anse Chastanet – there are no telephones, radio, or television. A dedicated room service and housekeeping team is available 24 hours a day. Internet access is available at reception – for those truly determined diehards who simply cannot let go, forget the outside world and float away as the resort would like you to!

Enjoy the exclusivity and private setting of Jade Mountain with all of Anse Chastanet’s spa, leisure and sports facilities as well as two beaches which are available to Jade Mountain guests at all times.

SCUBA ST LUCIA
