At a glance
Anse Chastanet sits on the south-western coast of St Lucia on a private 600-acre estate, bordering two beaches and a designated marine reserve with coral reefs offshore. The Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rise directly above. It is the sister resort to Jade Mountain, with guests of both properties having full access to each other’s facilities.
Created by architect and owner Nick Troubetzkoy, the resort was built around the principle that the surrounding landscape should be part of the guest experience. Rooms sit on the hillside and beside the beach with open-sided designs and wraparound balconies, bringing the trade winds and the views of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea directly into the space.
Four restaurants with daily-changing menus, a PADI 5 Star scuba operation steps from the beach, 12 miles of jungle biking and hiking trails, an organic farm, a chocolate laboratory and a spa drawing on the natural landscape of the estate complete the offering.
Highlights
- Sister resort to Jade Mountain on a shared 600-acre estate between two beaches and the Pitons UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- 49 individually designed rooms on the hillside and beachside with open-sided designs and wraparound balconies.

Accommodation
Rooms
The 49 rooms are individually designed by Nick Troubetzkoy across the hillside and beachside areas of the estate, with wraparound balconies, louvered windows and open-sided designs bringing the trade winds and views directly into the space. No two rooms are identical.
Rooms range from the Standard, located on either hillside or beachside, through the Superior Hillside, Hillside Deluxe and Beachside Deluxe categories, stepping up in size and outlook. The Premium Hillside rooms sit at the highest level of the estate with direct views over the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea.
Suites
The Piton Pool Suite sits in a private hillside setting at 800 square feet, finished in coralina stone tiles and handcrafted tropical hardwood furniture, with a pool looking directly out to the Pitons. The Beach House occupies the north corner of Anse Chastanet beach at 1,600 square feet, with an elevated deck, a garden and uninterrupted views over the Caribbean Sea.

St Lucia
Known for its breathtaking scenery, the combination of mountains coated in jungle plants and the white sandy beaches along with the pockets of luxurious resorts makes it the perfect places to relax if you are seeking a laid-back atmosphere. Our favourite resorts are The Bodyholiday which is great if you are looking for a full body detox.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
