Jade Mountain is rightly considered one of the most striking hotels in the Caribbean. The futuristic building is secluded on a hill and boasts absolute privacy and romance – perfect for newlyweds and those newly in love. The huge suites offer breathtaking views of St. Lucia's landmarks, the Pitons and the ocean, thanks to the absence of fourth walls. All meals can also be enjoyed in your room if you prefer. And if you do feel like getting out and about, the resort offers a beautiful spa, yoga, fitness, and water sports activities. How about an idyllic kayak tour for two?
The Jade Mountain Resort has its own spa and Cybex gym, so you can work out to your heart's content and then revitalize yourself. The resort offers numerous activities, including yoga, mountain bike tours, deep-sea fishing, nature hikes, and chocolate tours—yes, the Jade Mountain Resort even has its own small chocolate laboratory. In addition, you enjoy full access to all activities and facilities at the neighboring Anse Chastanet Resort.
Probably the most striking feature of the 29 suites is that each one is accessible via its own long, bridge-like corridor. Each suite (called a "sanctuary" at the resort) is a large, bright, open space with an integrated bathroom and direct views of nature and the sea, as the fourth wall is completely absent and you can look out from your bed directly onto the island's lush flora. Most suites also have tiled private infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon.
Meals are served at the Jade Mountain Club, a columned open-air area overlooking the sea and the Pitons. Alternatively, you can enjoy all your meals in your room or sip cocktails on the rooftop Celestial Terrace, where the view is even more spectacular. Breakfast is à la carte and includes juices of the day, lots of local fruit, and delicious coconut bread. Lunch and dinner feature modern fusion cuisine with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and produce from the nearby organic farm. It's virtually impossible to eat unhealthily at this resort.
The Jade Mountain is a real highlight in terms of its architecture alone. Architect Nick Troubetzkoy has realized his vision of a luxurious, romantic complex that blends perfectly into the Caribbean landscape. Bold bridges, stone columns, lush greenery, and terraced construction characterize the resort. Your exclusive suite features a private whirlpool and various small amenities to sweeten your dream vacation. But the most priceless feature is the unobstructed view of the beach and sea, which is enhanced by the open design and the absence of a fourth wall. From your bed, you can look directly out onto the colorful, idyllic nature of the island – it doesn't get much more romantic than this!
