Its prime location, high above the 600-acre seaside resort of Anse Chastanet, makes the Jade Mountain Resort one of the most romantic hotels in the world. The luxury resort, situated on the southwestern coast of St. Lucia in the Caribbean, is a veritable feast of organic architecture designed to highlight the island's unparalleled natural beauty.

Nick Troubetzkoy, architect and proprietor of Jade Mountain St. Lucia, has further developed his philosophy of eco-friendly construction in the Caribbean. Jade Mountain St. Lucia is one of the most hypnotizing resort experiences in the Caribbean, thanks to its striking architectural style. The resort features individual bridges leading to unique infinity pool retreats and craggy stone-faced columns rising towards the sky. With its open-air restaurant, attentive staff, and tranquil atmosphere (no TVs or children permitted), this hotel is ideal for a romantic break.

Jade Mountain: The Accommodation

There are a total of 29 suites, dubbed sanctuaries in the resort, with 24 of them boasting infinity pools. Each suite is unique, thanks to its glass hue. Upon arriving, guests walk across movie-like private bridges before arriving at expansive areas that feature living rooms, bedrooms, and private infinity pools that cantilever out over the landscape. The sanctuaries atop Jade Mountain are like stage settings, with no dividing wall preventing visitors from taking in the stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons, a World Heritage Site on the island of St. Lucia.

Each sanctuary has a ceiling height of fifteen feet and a fourth transparent wall that lets in natural light but blocks out noise. Aside from essential characteristics, the layout and size of each sanctuary are distinct. The sanctuary's square footage and the pool's size prompted the development of four pricing categories for infinity pool sanctuaries: Star, Moon, Sun, and Galaxy. There are 24 infinity pool suites and 5 Sky whirlpool suites, each with a two-person whirlpool tub. Despite the absence of a beach, couples searching for seclusion will feel quite at home here (the nearest beach is accessible through a short shuttle ride or a moderate hike).

Jade Cuisine At Jade Mountain Club

The Jade Mountain Club delivers memorable dinners to hotel guests that honor "Jade Cuisine," the creation of James Beard Award-winning chef Allen Susser. Chef Allen Susser, who has established a brave new world of exotic flavors with his "Jade Cuisine," has infused the Jade Mountain Club's dishes with exotic beauty and infused them with an explosion of flavor.

His eclectic, decadent, fusion-based cuisine has pushed Saint Lucian cuisine to new heights. The food is a unique fusion of styles and techniques from around the world that will take your taste buds on an enduring journey. The Jade Mountain Club is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and offers a range of cuisines and live entertainment.

The Celestial Terrace, which floats high above Jade Mountain Club, is a fantastic spot for sunset drinks and stargazing.
