Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia

Our top choice for luxury island holidays is Jade Mountain, an all-inclusive, adults-only, resort. Nestled on the side of a cliff, with a view over the peaks of St. Lucia’s twin volcanoes, Jade Mountain is a haven of pampering and luxury. The resort stretches out over 600 acres of beaches and palm trees, and each guest room has an open wall with a view over the ocean. The rooms also include a private infinity pool or hot tub and a comfortable four-poster bed. Butlers are available at any hour of the day to fulfill your needs. 

The beauty of the tropical island is only magnified by the elegant architecture of the Jade Mountain Resort. Designed with natural stones and subtle tones, the buildings are effortlessly elegant. Outdoor bridges running between the structures only elevate the natural atmosphere. Enjoy your meals in private, or dine at the award-winning Jade Cuisine restaurant or Celestial Terrace cocktail bar. 

Activities at this resort include watersports like kayaking, sailing, and scuba diving. There is also a spa, with traditional massage therapies, alongside gym and yoga activities. If you can bring yourself to leave the white sand beaches and coral reefs for a day, Jade Mountain offers excursions to the volcanoes, the sulfur springs, and the botanical gardens.
