We approached the bridge to our sanctuary, JE2. We strolled across the bridge admiring the scenery below, until we arrived at our door. Greeted by an enormously oversized wood door, our jaws now dropped as we gazed at what was behind it. The first visual was St. Lucia's World Heritage Site, the majestic Pitons. Our sanctuary was from a fairy tale--truly magical. The picturesque absent wall including a large infinity pool looking into the Caribbean Sea and beautiful Pitons. Many resorts now boast a plunge pool for guests, make no mistake, this is an infinity pool not a plunge pool. Every turn in our sanctuary was one wow moment after another. The beautiful four poster bed allowing for views of the Caribbean Sea and majestic Pitons. The addition of a sitting area and lounge chairs to enhance your view. A very thoughtful note from the owners was a beautiful touch to our sanctuary. Towels were placed strategically throughout the sanctuary, on the lounge chairs, at the pool area, and more. Jade Mountain Resort did not miss a beat! We then climbed up a few steps to the open spacious bathroom where whether you were using the shower or whirlpool bath you had an amazing view! Toyan was extremely detailed and welcoming.
My Sanctuary JE2
Each of the 24 infinity pool sanctuaries at Jade Mountain St. Lucia is a carefully designed, individual work of art and architecture. All of the sanctuaries celebrate an unparalleled view of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. An additional panoramic quality is provided by sanctuaries on particular elevations and those located on corners. Expect grand sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area and the extravagant private infinity pool glide into one another to form extraordinary platforms floating out into nature. All sanctuaries feature 15ft high ceilings and are designed with the 4th wall open to the views while at the same time allowing for complete privacy. All other aspects, layout and size vary from sanctuary to sanctuary. Four rate categories of infinity pool sanctuaries have been created to reflect the square footage of the sanctuaries and size of pool: STAR, MOON, SUN and GALAXY. In addition to the 24 infinity pool sanctuaries, there are 5 Sky whirlpool suites which feature a large bath tub for 2, but do not have a private pool.
Jade Club Rooftop Views
The Jade Club Rooftop or better known as The Celestial Terrace offers one of the Caribbean's most spectacular wedding locations possible. Also a perfect spot for a drink and admiring the sunset. With a 360 degree panoramic view of St. Lucia's Unesco World Heritage Site, the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea, it is an ideal location for couples with or without a wedding party. This is an excellent location for a welcome reception and can also be used for the wedding dinner itself.
Anse Chastanet Beach
JADE MOUNTAIN rises majestically above a 600-acre lush tropical resort estate of ANSE CHASTANET, considered to be one of the Caribbean's most unique and scenically spectacular settings imaginable, near the St. Lucia's famous Piton Mountains, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Part of the 600-acre resort estate is two beautiful, natural, soft sand beaches with an abundance of pristine coral reefs right offshore. The Anse Chastanet Beach is the quintessential Caribbean resort beach where guests can laze the day away on a cozy beach chair in the shade provided by a private beach hut while your every need is taken care of by our resort team. Minted cool spray, towel service, fruit kebabs, and sorbet are all part of the daily beach experience. Should you be lured by the rhythmic waves rolling ashore, snorkeling and water sports are but a few paces away. The resort’s second beach, Anse Mamin, is located to the north and can be reached by our complimentary Resort Shuttle Boats or a ten-minute stroll along the scenic coastline. With a well-earned reputation as one of the most beautiful and exotic beaches on island, Anse Mamin is the perfect location for guests who desire a more laid back romantic atmosphere. With the rustic Jungle Beach Bar & Grill on hand, the resort team will ensure a memorable day is enjoyed by all.
The generous departing gift Naharaja gave us was unexpected and left such a special touch. Lester running across the bridge to say goodbye again and gifting us with two chocolate bars made on the resort was so touching since we didn't experience the chocolate factory.
Our experience was so memorizing and memorable largely due to the breathtaking resort and went hand in hand with the heart warming staff who has now become like family to us. The gift of being able to experience Jade Mountain Resort is such a special memory. I would highly recommend this gorgeous resort! I left a piece of me back in Saint Lucia and hope I will make my journey back to retrieve it.
