About Jade Mountain
Jade Mountain is a small luxury resort on the Anse Chastanet estate near Soufrière. Its 29 sanctuaries are built into the hillside with the fourth wall left open, so each room frames the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea.
What sets it apart is the architecture: most sanctuaries have their own infinity pool, and there are no TVs, by design. It is one of the most photographed hotels in the Caribbean and suits honeymooners and couples looking for a once-in-a-lifetime splurge.
