About Anse Chastanet Resort
Anse Chastanet Resort is set on a 600-acre estate near Soufrière, with 49 rooms spread between the hillside and the beach. Many rooms are open-air, with a wall left open to the forest, the sea or the Pitons.
What sets it apart is the sea: its two bays sit in a marine reserve, and the house reef is one of St. Lucia’s best for snorkeling straight from the beach. It suits active couples, divers and nature lovers. It is the sister resort of Jade Mountain.
