Jade Mountain is perhaps the jewel that shines the brightest in St. Lucia’s newly built crown. Located within Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain is a new exclusive resort within a resort, with 24 infinity-edge pool sanctuaries that are virtual rooms built high into the mountainside. Check in at Jade Mountain’s own private reception area and get ready for an experience of a lifetime. The resort’s architect-owner has taken the concept of building in harmony with Caribbean nature to a whole new level of sophistication. Each suite combines a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and infinity-edge pool in one large open area with fifteen-foot ceilings and the fourth wall missing entirely, providing phenomenal views. The entire resort is tech-free—no telephones, radios, or televisions—but each suite has a unique bell pull cord to summon room service and housekeeping 24 hours a day. And if you really must, internet access is available in the reception area. The pools are outfitted with fiber-optic lights that can be set to one color or allowed to run through a range of colors throughout the night. Enjoy fine dining in your suite or at the Jade Mountain Club located at the very top of the mountain, which can only be used by Jade Mountain guests. And if you ever decide to retreat from your exclusive digs in the sky, you can visit the resort’s spa, take a dip in the club’s large pool, or enjoy access to all of Anse Chastanet’s leisure and sports facilities, including two beaches. This place is chic, it’s swank, it’s exclusive, and it’s bound to create memories—along with views—you will never forget. Sounds like the perfect honeymoon. Rates start at $950 per night. 800-223-1108 or www.jademountainstlucia.com.
