ACCOMMODATIONS Architect and resort owner Nick Troubetzkoy has laudably succeeded in building both resorts in creative harmony with Saint Lucia's nature. Jade Mountain guests stay in aptly-named sanctuaries -- large, loft-style spaces with a fourth wall that is entirely absent. Accessible by a dramatic private bridge entrance, the sensuously secluded sanctuaries feature 15-foot ceilings, gorgeous natural finishings, and all the luxurious amenities you expect from a five-star resort. The unique open- space format encourages you to intimately connect with your surroundings and stimulate your senses -- breathing in the freshest of air, communing with the birds, and, if you wish, feeling the sun and the moon's rays directly on your skin --truly a one-of-a- kind experience. Choose from any of the 24 extraordinary galaxy, sun, moon, star or sky sanctuaries, all with extravagant infinity pools and striking views of the twin Pitons. Please note that Jade Mountain is an adult's only resort. Anse Chastanet's unique, individually-designed suites are equally celebrated. A dozen rooms are tucked behind the coconut palms that line the beach and the remainder tiptoe up a lush, flower-decked hillside. Octagonal whitewashed cottages make the most of the panoramic views, and some come with wraparound flower-draped balconies. All 49 of the rooms share the property's continuing theme in common: an openness to the surroundings that fosters a feeling of connection to the landscape. Rooms, bathrooms, and tropical hardwood furniture all blend harmoniously with the environment and nature.
