Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia - Full-Time Travel

Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia

Rising high above the 600-acre paradisiacal beachfront of Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain Resort on St. Lucia’s south-western coast exudes beauty and elegance. The hotel’s bold architecture—rugged stone columns, sky bridges, and an open-air layout that blurs the lines between outdoors and in—fits harmoniously with the lush Caribbean landscape enveloping it.

Book one of Jade Mountain’s 31 “sanctuaries” or suites, and you can expect to find a sweeping bedroom with a spacious living area, a private bridge to your personal infinity pool or jacuzzi, and one side of the room completely open to nature, allowing you to marvel at the beauty of the location while being secluded in your own space.

If you’re in need of even more R&R, check out the services offered at the resort’s boutique spa, Kai en Ciel. From classic body and beauty treatments to Ayurvedic and holistic services, there’s a therapy to suit your every mood or whim. We recommend enjoying a treatment in the privacy of your own sanctuary, right next to the soft lapping of the infinity pool.

If you want to increase your heart rate instead of slowing it down, complimentary escorted hikes, walks, tennis, and yoga classes are available daily. And when tempted to dip your toes in that turquoise ocean, two powdery-soft beaches are steps away from the hotel. Jade Mountain can facilitate water sports including kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, or snorkeling and scuba diving over pristine coral reefs just off shore.

After a day of exploring, relaxing, or a well balanced combination of both, head to the Celestial Terrace. Hovering in space above Jade Mountain Club, with unforgettable panoramic views of St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site, it is the most scenic spot imaginable for a sunset cocktail. Once night has fallen, tilt your head and take in the mesmeric sight of crystal clear constellations and shooting stars.

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.
