The twin peaks of Piti and Gros Piton that rise on the island of St. Lucia are a fitting backdrop to its most famous resort, Anse Chastanet. Created by Nick Troubetzkoy, this exclusive and intimate hotel caters to adults, honeymooners, and families with children over the age of 10.
Anse Chastanet's tiled open-air lobby is right on the beach. Rooms on the beach or on the green hillside are designed to take advantage of the island's trade winds, and feature white walls, high-beamed ceilings, clay tile or hardwood floors, local handcrafted hardwood furniture and textiles, and louvered windows. Views of the beach, ocean, gardens, or the Pitons can be enjoyed from all rooms. Bathrooms feature showers only.
Fusion cuisine blending tropical world flavors is served at the Treehouse Restaurant, where guests dine alfresco by candlelight. A range of appetizers, Creole ‡ la carte favorites, and a cold or hot buffet are available at the Trou au Diable Restaurant, which has an Indian theme menu featuring combinations of East Indian and Caribbean cooking styles. Light grilled fare is served at the Beach Grill. Afternoon tea and snacks are available at both the Piton Lounge and Beach Bar.
Guests at Anse Chastanet can enjoy couple's massages, the signature Wash Cho, hot stone therapy, facials, massages, and Ayurvedic treatments at the Kai Belte Spa. Other activities include yoga, tennis, hiking, jungle biking, snorkeling, or scuba diving. Nearby, the ruins of an 18th century colonial plantation are now a refuge for many exotic birds. Guided excursions are organized to all the local sites and natural wonders.

St Lucias Anse Chastanet And Jade Mountain Resorts
St. Lucia's Anse Chastanet & Jade Mountain Resorts
1 of 8
Beauty from the Beach to the Mountains
Every resort in the Caribbean promises palm trees, rum punch and turquoise seas. But Anse Chastanet and its ultra-luxe extension Jade Mountain in St. Lucia offer all that and less.
They are among the few places renowned for what they don’t provide: there is no air conditioning, no TV, no phones, no windowpanes, and no fourth wall in the guest rooms, leaving them wide open to Mother Nature’s beauty and balmy breezes.

Guest Rooms at Anse Chastanet are Delightfully Different
When owner Nick Troubetskoy first laid eyes on Anse (meaning “bay”) Chastanet in 1974, it had 12 rooms. He bought it and has spent a lifetime adding to it, all with the desire to build something unique, creative, and respectful of the environment.

Guest Rooms at Jade Mountain Get You Higher
In 2007, Troubetskoy opened Jade Mountain just up the hill from Anse Chastanet and looking a bit like a space ship when lit up at night. It functions like the “club” level of Anse Chastanet; guests at Jade Mountain receive their own butler and mobile phones programmed to call him or her at a moment’s notice, whenever, wherever.

Dining in View of the Piton Mountains
Dining is another unique feature. Troubetskoy owns organic Emerald Farm, which provides as much of the fresh produce in season as possible. And his Chocolate Laboratory, using beans from his cocoa trees, provides its ingredients as well.

Destination Weddings on Site
There are a number of beautiful settings for destination weddings, from a gazebo on a cliff overlooking the sea to a tent set up on the secluded beach of Anse Mamin.
There is also a wedding planner who can arrange anything and everything, from flowers to music, all on approval. The bride and groom do need to be on the island 3 days prior to the ceremony.

Spa and Activities on and off the Property
The hotels contain 3 small but beautifully equipped spas and beauty salons. There’s Kei Belte (House of Beauty), Kai Mer (an open-air cabana overlooking the sea), and Kai en Ciel (house in Heaven, high up in the hills), each offering the usual range of treatments—facials, hot stone massages, etc.

Pros and Cons of a Visit
The downside for some might often be the plus side for others.
Those looking for a technology detox will be pleased that there are no TVs, radios, phones, etc.—just the sound of waves and swishing palm fronds at night and only louvered doors and windows, with no glass, to block their breeze. Unless you like it super chill, those breezes and the ceiling fans provide sufficient cooling without need for a/c.

These are primarily resorts for couples. The setting is so romantic the resorts are favorites with honeymooners and anniversary celebrants, so all ages are represented.
The resorts are also popular with sports enthusiasts, especially scuba divers. Recently there was a group of birdwatchers from England, looking for species viewable only in the Caribbean. While American accents predominate, English accents are strongly represented thanks to direct flights from London.
