About Jade Mountain
One of the Caribbean's true originals, adults-only 'sanctuaries' with no fourth wall and a private infinity pool framing the Pitons. There are no TVs and barely a reason to leave the room, though the organic chocolate lab and included diving tempt you out. Architectural, romantic, unforgettable. Best December through May.

Jade Mountain
Things to know
before you go
Jade Mountain is an adults-only luxury resort above Anse Chastanet in Soufrière, St.Lucia.
The resort is famous for open-wall sanctuaries facing the Pitons and Caribbean Sea.
Most sanctuaries are designed around private infinity pools, but Sky Whirlpool Suites are a different product.
This is one of the Caribbean's strongest romance and design resorts, but it is not a conventional beachfront hotel.
Guests use Anse Chastanet's beach below the resort rather than stepping directly from Jade Mountain onto sand.
Rooms intentionally omit typical hotel-room features such as televisions and air conditioning, emphasizing open-air design and views.
Hidden tips
Book an infinity-pool sanctuary rather than a Sky Whirlpool Suite if the iconic Jade Mountain experience is the priority.
Guests who are heat-sensitive should think carefully about the open-air, no-air-conditioning design.
The Total Romance and Serenity packages can change the value equation because they bundle transfers, meals, drinks, activities, and spa inclusions.
Use the included access to Anse Chastanet activities to balance sanctuary time with snorkeling, beach, and estate experiences.
Things guests wish they had known
The view and sanctuary design are the main reasons to book.
The resort is more about privacy, romance, and scenery than nightlife.
The open-air room concept is intentional and may not suit every traveler.
Beach time is available through Anse Chastanet, not from a traditional Jade Mountain beachfront.
Strengths from our research
Extraordinary Piton and Caribbean Sea views from open-wall sanctuaries.
One of the strongest romance and honeymoon products in the Caribbean.
Signature private infinity-pool sanctuaries.
High-service boutique scale with only 29 sanctuaries.
Access to Anse Chastanet beach, non-motorized water sports, estate walks, and resort activities.
Other considerations from our research
Very expensive compared with most Caribbean resorts.
Not directly beachfront in the conventional sense.
Open-air design means no air conditioning, TVs, radios, or phones in the standard room concept.
Limited nightlife and not a good fit for guests seeking a busy party resort.
The road and hillside setting may not suit travelers who want easy flat walking.

- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
