Introduction

Lose Yourself in the Beauty of Jade Mountain

Perched majestically above Anse Chastanet’s 600-acre beachfront estate, Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia offers a striking blend of organic architecture and awe-inspiring panoramas. Designed by architect-owner Nick Troubetzkoy, Jade Mountain harmonizes with the lush Caribbean environment, celebrating the breathtaking beauty of St. Lucia.

Bold Architectural Vision

The Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia, stands as a beacon of innovative design. Each sanctuary is accessed via individual bridges leading to private infinity pools, with rugged stone columns soaring into the sky. These architectural marvels offer unobstructed views of the iconic Pitons and the vast Caribbean Sea, which is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Infinite Panorama

The sanctuaries at the Jade Mountain Resort blur the lines between interior and exterior, offering grand spaces where the bedroom, living area, and – in 24 sanctuaries- expansive private infinity pool merge into one. With one wall open to the elements, guests are invited to connect with the splendor of their surroundings directly from their luxury suite.

Culinary Delights

At the Jade Mountain Club, experience the one-of-a-kind ‘Jade Cuisine’ crafted by James Beard Award-winning Chef Allen Susser and his team. Set against the vibrant hues of a colorful infinity pool, the Club offers an al fresco dining experience like no other. Just above, the Celestial Terrace beckons as the perfect venue for sunset cocktails and stargazing, inviting guests to dine under the vast Caribbean sky. Enhance your culinary journey by booking a cooking class, exploring our chocolate lab, or visiting the organic farm to see where your food is sourced.

Holistic Wellness and Leisure

Indulge in a variety of spa services in the privacy of your sanctuary or at our boutique spa and fitness studio, Kai en Ciel. Elevate your wellbeing with our daily yoga sessions at sunrise and sunset.

Attentive Service

Our dedicated team of butlers, called major domos and resort staff provide impeccable service, ensuring a seamless experience.

Privileged Access and Adventure at Anse Chastanet

Guests of the Jade Mountain Resort enjoy privileged access to the full suite of amenities at the adjoining sister Anse Chastanet Resort, where they can dine at several beachside and hillside restaurants—including a vegan option—visit bars, boutiques, and an art gallery. The two secluded Caribbean beaches of the resorts offer serene escapes with soft, sandy shores and sparkling blue waters, just a brief stroll or a quick 2-minute shuttle ride away. Adventure seekers can explore over 12 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails or dive into excitement with our PADI 5 Star scuba operation and snorkeling right off the shore. While the Jade Mountain Resort is celebrated for its tranquil sanctuaries and romantic seclusion, Anse Chastanet provides the perfect contrast, offering thrilling activities and beautiful landscapes for a perfectly balanced getaway.

Sustainable Luxury

The Jade Mountain Resort not only offers unmatched views but also embraces sustainability and regenerative principles in our day-to-day operations. Our eco-friendly practices and community initiatives underscore our commitment to preserving the beauty of St. Lucia.

Diving / Diving Site(s)

Reefs raising out of the Pitons Mountains

The Diving

The Anse Chastanet reef starts just 10 yards beyond the water’s edge. The reef’s remarkable ecosystem offers an amazing profusion of unusual tropical marine life, in 20 to 140 feet of calm, clear water. Anse Chastanet reef, home to more than 150 species of fish, makes for an amazing dive day or night.

In the shallow areas, be sure to keep your eyes open for peacock flounders, octopus, needlefish, and turtles. Or drop down a little deeper over dense coral growth to see puffers, moray eels, parrotfish, lobsters, and even sea horses. A unique dive site for all abilities, and is especially good for macro photography.

The shore dive is a required “first” dive for dive guests. It allows divers to feel assured that all equipment is functioning properly, that their buoyancy skills are adequate for entering the marine reserve, and that they are oriented to the type of diving for which St Lucia is known. This reef is a favorite of most professional underwater photographers and videographers who visit Anse Chastanet.

Scuba St Lucia has a talented and friendly multinational staff. Its local dive leaders are true professionals who have logged thousands of dive hours in the marine reserve and will show you the fantastic sights on the reefs. The staff are very accommodating and will do their best to help out with “special requests”.

Scuba St. Lucia is a renowned National Geographic/PADI 5-Star Dive resort and DAN (Divers Alert Network) Partner in Dive Safety facility. It is located in the heart of St. Lucia’s marine reserves at the south end of Anse Chastanet Beach. Founded in 1981, Scuba St. Lucia has established itself as one of the best dive shops in the Caribbean.

The reefs in St. Lucia are some of the most underrated diving destinations in the world. This dive team is family-focused and kid-friendly, yet can also cater to photographers and adults of all skill levels. There are no pools at Anse Chastanet, so dive training is done in a training area just off the beach.

Scuba St. Lucia is perfectly set up for both beach and boat dives. She offers guests private gear storage, a well-equipped scuba store, small and large scuba tanks, ScubaPro rental dive gear, and Sealife underwater photo and video rental. Kids Sea Camp is a dealer for both ScubaPro and Sealife, so you can always shop with us and be fully outfitted and ready to dive and enjoy your family dive trip by just calling us.

Night dives are offered at least twice weekly on Anse Chastanet’s Reef, which really “wakes up” at night, with many interesting crustaceans on the move, large basket stars, sleeping parrotfish, octopus and squid, bioluminescence, and the “THING.” Scuba Courses: Scuba St Lucia is an ideal place to learn to dive, with warm, clear waters and a shallow, protected reef close to the Dive Center.

Equipment Rental

The rental facility is fully equipped with the latest scuba gear including Scubapro regulators with octopus, low-pressure inflator, depth, and pressure gauges, Seaquest/Aqualung beds, and 3mm shorty wetsuits. Also available for rental are masks, fins, and snorkels. All rental gear is serviced regularly to ensure top quality and safety. The facility is equipped with four large freshwater rinse tanks with disinfectant inside and all gear is washed after each use.

Photo and Video

The dive shop, Scuba St. Lucia, offers its clients an underwater Photo and Video center with camera rentals and custom video creation. Digital underwater cameras are also available for rental. The staff can assist with all camera and video needs and offer a range of courses, such as Underwater Videographer and Underwater Photographer.

Boats

Scuba St. Lucia operates three dive boats: Miss Ina, Miss Bertha, and Jenny-Marie. The boat dives should also not be missed. From the dramatic walls beneath the majestic Piton Mountains to Superman’s flight, a drift dive in the shadow of the Petit Piton, the diving is fantastic. Coral Gardens and Jalousie under the Gros Piton, Piton Wall, the wreck of the “Lesleen M,” Anse La Raye, and Anse Cochon are other dives that must be experienced. Closer to home for the afternoon boat trips but no less spectacular sites, the diver can explore Fairyland, Turtle Reef, Grand Caille, Trou Diable, the Pinnacles, and much more.

The pace in St. Lucia is always slow and relaxed, and the diving and activities are efficiently organized with minimal fuss. The dive boats have fresh drinking water, complete safety equipment, towels, first-aid kits, and a DAN oxygen unit.

  • 14-day PADI Dive Master for participants 18 and older

Introduction

A luxury outdoor adventure vacation for every member of your family

St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean’s most romantic and bold adventure dive resorts. Kids Sea Camp and Family Dive Adventures are honored that Anse Chastanet, this world-famous honeymoon resort, allows us to host a family week there. Families enjoy returning to what they once shared as a couple, but now with their family.

An amazing resort

Anse Chastanet Resort encompasses 600 lush tropical acres and borders two beautiful volcanic-sand beaches. You will experience a World Heritage Site anchored by the twin pitons on land and the resort’s two crystal-clear bay marine reserves. These reserves are protecting miles of colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Guests can enjoy snorkeling and diving on this pristine house reef, one of the best shore dives in St. Lucia.

A pampered family dive vacation

While the sensuous seclusion of the most romantic rooms in the Caribbean gives some guests the perfect excuse for lolling away the day on the balcony, others head out to partake in our many included activities. The less active can relax, lie on the beach, or get pampered at the resort’s spa, Kai Belté. There’s a casual beachside bar and restaurant, a panoramic hillside lounge, and two treehouses. This provides a romantic setting for candlelit dinners with musical backdrops by local entertainers. Tranquility, Romance, and Adventure can all be found with unmatched luxury at Kids Sea Camp Anse Chastanet.

Anse Chastanet is St. Lucia’s only resort property with an iconic view of the Piti and Gros Piton mountains floating upon the Caribbean Sea.

The resort property encompasses the historic plantation of Anse Mamin and Emerald Estate, where the resort cultivates its organic produce.

Accommodations

A view like no other in the Caribbean!

Dream of an Architect

Nick Troubetzkoy and his wife, Karolin, had a dream to combine St. Lucia’s mountainous beauty and sweet sugar beaches with divine luxury, resulting in the creation of Anse Chastanet Resort in St. Lucia. What a sweet vacation dream it is! Extra-large deluxe and premium hill suites underscore the visionary, innovative, sometimes whimsical side of Nick Troubetzkoy. In one suite, the balcony is built around a Red Gommier tree; in another, a flamboyant tree drapes its red blossoms around the balcony. Some have the fourth wall open entirely to pitons or ocean views. Beach rooms are the only air-conditioned rooms on the resort.

Viewful rooms

The resort rooms are tucked behind coconut palms that line the beach, and the remainder tiptoes up a flower-decked hillside. To make the most of the panoramic views and the refreshing tradewinds, octagonal whitewashed cottages come with wraparound flower-draped balconies and louvered windows. If you want a bit of romance or majestic views, choose the hill rooms with an open-air treehouse-like feel—some with swings and Piton views. The Beach Rooms are glass-enclosed, spacious, and the only rooms at the resort with AC. Walk out to the beach and dive shop to enjoy your daily adventures.

Each room is unique

Extra-large deluxe and premium suites underscore the visionary, innovative, and sometimes whimsical side of the owner and Architect, Nick Troubetzkoy. In one suite, the balcony is built around a mature red Gommier tree, and in another room, a flamboyant tree drapes its red blossoms around the balcony. Some have their fourth wall open entirely to the vistas, yet are entirely private. There is also a two-bedroom suite with its very own pool.

And then there are always Jade Mountain rooms up the hill. Jade Mountain is considered one of the premier honeymoon resorts in the entire world.

Diving / Diving Site(s)

Reefs raising out of the Pitons Mountains

The Diving

The Anse Chastanet reef starts just 10 yards beyond the water’s edge. The reef’s remarkable ecosystem offers an amazing profusion of unusual tropical marine life, in 20 to 140 feet of calm, clear water. Anse Chastanet reef, home to more than 150 species of fish, makes for an amazing dive day or night. In the shallow areas, be sure to keep your eyes open for peacock flounders, octopus, needlefish, and turtles. Or drop down a little deeper over dense coral growth to see puffers, moray eels, parrotfish, lobsters, and even sea horses. A unique dive site for all abilities, and is especially good for macro photography.

An abundant house reef

The shore dive is a required “first” dive for dive guests. It allows divers to feel assured that all equipment is functioning properly, that their buoyancy skills are adequate for entering the marine reserve, and that they are oriented to the type of diving for which St Lucia is known. This reef is a favorite of most professional underwater photographers and videographers who visit Anse Chastanet.

Scuba St Lucia has a talented and friendly multinational staff. Its local dive leaders are true professionals who have logged thousands of dive hours in the marine reserve and will show you the fantastic sights on the reefs. The staff are very accommodating and will do their best to help out with “special requests”.

Scuba St. Lucia is perfectly set up for both beach and boat dives

Scuba St. Lucia is a renowned National Geographic/PADI 5-Star Dive resort and DAN (Divers Alert Network) Partner in Dive Safety facility. It is located in the heart of St. Lucia’s marine reserves at the south end of Anse Chastanet Beach. Founded in 1981, Scuba St. Lucia has established itself as one of the best dive shops in the Caribbean. The reefs in St. Lucia are some of the most underrated diving destinations in the world. This dive team is family-focused and kid-friendly yet can cater to photographers and adults of all levels. There are no pools at Anse Chastanet, so dive training is done in a training area just off the beach.

The scuba shop offers guests private gear storage, a well-equipped scuba store, small and large scuba tanks, ScubaPro rental dive gear, and Sealife underwater photo and video rental. Kids Sea Camp is a dealer for both ScubaPro and Sealife, so you can always shop with us and be fully outfitted and ready to dive and enjoy your family dive trip by just calling us.

The night dives in St. Lucia are a must-see 

Night dives are offered at least twice weekly on Anse Chastanet’s Reef, which really “wakes up” at night, with many interesting crustaceans on the move, large basket stars, sleeping parrotfish, octopus and squid, bioluminescence, and the “THING.”

Scuba Courses: Scuba St Lucia is an ideal place to learn to dive, with warm, clear waters and a shallow, protected reef close to the Dive Center.

Equipment Rental

The rental facility is fully equipped with the latest scuba gear including Scubapro regulators with octopus, low-pressure inflator, depth, and pressure gauges, Seaquest/Aqualung beds, and 3mm shorty wetsuits. Also available for rental are masks, fins, and snorkels. All rental gear is serviced regularly to ensure top quality and safety. The facility is equipped with four large freshwater rinse tanks with disinfectant inside and all gear is washed after each use.

Photo and Video

Scuba St. Lucia offers its clients an underwater Photo and Video center with camera rentals and custom video creation. Digital underwater cameras are also available for rental. The staff can assist with all camera and video needs and offer a range of courses such as Underwater Videographer and Underwater Photographer.

Boats

Scuba St. Lucia operates three dive boats: Miss Ina, Miss Bertha, and Jenny-Marie. The boat dives should also not be missed. From the dramatic walls beneath the majestic Piton Mountains to Superman’s flight, a drift dive in the shadow of the Petit Piton, the diving is fantastic. Coral Gardens and Jalousie under the Gros Piton, Piton Wall, the wreck of the “Lesleen M,” Anse La Raye, and Anse Cochon are other dives that must be experienced. Closer to home for the afternoon boat trips but no less spectacular sites, the diver can explore Fairyland, Turtle Reef, Grand Caille, Trou Diable, the Pinnacles, and much more.

The pace in St. Lucia is always slow and relaxed, and the diving and activities are efficiently organized with minimal fuss. The dive boats have fresh drinking water, complete safety equipment, towels, first-aid kits, and a DAN oxygen unit.

  • 14-day PADI Dive Master for participants 18 and older

Nitrox is also available.

There’s a Helipad

Anse Chastanet owns and operates a private, fully licensed helipad for the exclusive use of our resort guests. The helipad is located in the hills behind the resort, where it can operate without disturbing our guests. The helicopter company operates only during daylight hours. The helicopter transfers are approximately $280 USD (UVF) one way. Prices are subject to change without notice.

The helicopter company requires a minimum of 4 passengers booked on any given flight before sending us the final confirmation of the transfer. This final confirmation may only come through on the day prior to your arrival. As there is only one helicopter company, there is good, steady demand, and mostly, this final confirmation will come through.

Space is limited for the Helicopter

If you wish to receive immediate confirmation and a guarantee, you would need to agree to purchase a total of 4 seats and guarantee payment for these 4 seats in case no other passengers have booked by the time of your arrival. If you wish to book a private helicopter transfer, a payment of 6 seats is required. As there are a limited number of helicopters, please note that mechanical or weather issues could lead to last-minute cancellation, in which case the resort would automatically arrange a land transfer for you.

There may also be last-minute delays over which we will have no influence, as they could be caused by a variety of reasons. Please also be aware that your luggage will be transported to and reach the resort separately. Your hand luggage can travel with you. Contact us at Kids Sea Camp if you wish to book a helicopter transfer. 803-419-2556
