We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

High on a peak in the southern part of St. Lucia lies Jade Mountain Resort. Once you arrive, you’ll notice that service, cuisine and uniqueness of the resort work in harmony to create a one-of-a-kind getaway.

More than 30 years ago, Russian-Canadian owner and architect Nick Troubetzkoy envisioned a St. Lucia resort overlooking the twin peaks of the Pitons, a landmark so remarkable it’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, he created Anse Chastanet on 600 acres of tropical land that embraced nature with hiking routes, jungle biking trails and the island’s first scuba operation that allowed guests to explore reefs in front of the property’s two beaches.

Then, in 2007, Troubetzkoy opened Jade Mountain on top of Morne Chastanet as a boutique resort within a resort that delivers one of the most memorable vacationing experiences you’ll find in the Caribbean.

Our Inspector's Highlights

There’s a reason why, year after year, Jade Mountain remains at the top of the list of honeymoon destinations. It’s unlikely you’ve visited a place that provides the setting that Jade Mountain does.
The plush resort boasts two beaches, a spa and a fitness studio.
After a few days of relaxation, you might itch to explore the natural surroundings of Jade Mountain up close, such as the drive-in volcano.

Things to Know

While the drive to the Caribbean oasis is a picturesque one, the short trek from above is magical (Jade Mountain has the island’s only private helipad).
Jade Mountain prides itself on being a technology-free zone. All rooms have Wi-Fi, but there are no radios, televisions or telephones, and cell phone use is discouraged in public areas.
Spa treatments and six-course meals can be had from the comfort of your room.
The retreat’s plush, tropical surroundings make it the perfect choice for a destination wedding. The Ultimate Escape is the most inclusive of the three wedding packages, offering everything from photography services to couple spa treatments to a fully decorated venue.

The Rooms

The luxury hotel has 29 rooms that have been deemed “sanctuaries” to give you the feeling of being at one with nature.
Each sanctuary is constructed with only three walls. Instead of a fourth wall, the room opens to an unobstructed view of the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons that’s mesmerizing.
The sanctuaries are themed “Star,” “Moon,” “Sun” and “Galaxy,” and each one includes an oversized, private infinity pool looking out over the landscape.
There are also five smaller “Sky” suites that have a large Jacuzzi instead of an infinity pool, but you will still enjoy the beautiful views.

The Restaurants

The blissful sanctuaries make it difficult for you to venture far, but Jade Mountain Club is a major motivation get out.
Chef Allen Susser highlights the best of the sea. Local fishermen bring in fresh seafood from the coast that makes it to your plate by night’s end.
The James Beard Award-winning chef sources his organic produce from the resort’s Emerald Farm, which is nestled in the Soufrière Hills.
A sweet bonus: There are more than 2,000 cocoa trees on the premises, allowing Jade Mountain the ability to produce its very own delicious chocolate. From tastings to truffle-making classes, the resort’s Chocolate Lab offers endless ways for you to indulge.
Weekly culinary events, from Friday's lionfish beach dinner to Sunday's jazz brunch, keep your dining experiences entertaining.
