Experience Architectural Wonder at Jade Mountain Resort
Rising majestically from St. Lucia’s southwestern coast, Jade Mountain Resort defies every convention of traditional resort design. This architectural marvel, with its bold organic architecture and missing fourth walls, creates an immersive experience where guests become one with the stunning natural environment. Each of the 29 sanctuaries frames the iconic Pitons and Caribbean Sea in a way that transforms accommodation into art.
Sanctuaries in the Sky
Jade Mountain’s revolutionary design eliminates the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. Each sanctuary features only three walls, with the fourth side completely open to spectacular views of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea. Individual infinity pools, some as large as 900 square feet, seem to merge with the horizon. The architect-owner Nick Troubetzkoy’s vision creates spaces that are simultaneously grand and intimate, luxurious yet perfectly integrated with nature.
Unique Sanctuary Categories
The 29 sanctuaries fall into five categories, each offering distinct experiences. Sky Sanctuaries feature wraparound infinity pools and chromotherapy lighting. Star Sanctuaries include expansive pools with swim-up platforms. Moon Sanctuaries offer more intimate pools perfect for couples. Sun Sanctuaries provide generous living spaces, while Galaxy Sanctuaries represent the pinnacle with massive pools and multiple levels. Each sanctuary is individually designed with handcrafted furniture and local artwork.
Jade Mountain Club
The Jade Mountain Club, led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Allen Susser, celebrates “Jade Cuisine” – a creative fusion that honors St. Lucian ingredients with international techniques. The restaurant’s setting, suspended between sky and sea, provides a dramatic backdrop for the culinary journey. The organic chocolate laboratory produces artisanal treats using cacao from the resort’s own groves, while the extensive wine cellar offers perfect pairings.
Anse Chastanet Beach Access
Jade Mountain guests enjoy full access to sister property Anse Chastanet’s 600-acre estate and two beaches. The Jungle Beach Club provides a casual dining option, while the main beach offers water sports including world-class scuba diving and snorkeling. The resort’s location within a marine reserve ensures pristine reefs teeming with tropical fish just offshore.
Wellness and Romance
The Kai en Ciel spa offers treatments in open-air pavilions with panoramic views. Couples can enjoy synchronized massages while gazing at the Pitons, or participate in private yoga sessions on their sanctuary’s deck. The resort’s adults-only policy and intimate scale create perfect conditions for romance, making it a favorite for honeymoons and anniversaries.
Adventures in Paradise
Beyond the sanctuary’s serenity, adventures await. Hike the UNESCO World Heritage Pitons with expert guides, explore hidden waterfalls, or take sunset sailing trips. The resort’s organic farm tours showcase sustainable practices, while chocolate-making classes reveal the journey from tree to truffle. Each experience connects guests more deeply with St. Lucia’s natural and cultural treasures.
