How Sweet It Is: Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet to Host June “Mango Madness” Festival

During June, known as the “Month of the Mango,” Guests Will Enjoy Organic Fruit Tastings, Cooking and Mixology Classes, Five-Course Feasts, Mango-Themed Spa Treatments, Estate Tours and More

May 2017…// St. Lucian sister resorts Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet are pleased to reveal details of their fun, fruit-focused Month of Mango, happening this June. The resorts’ Chef Allen Susser, the author of The Great Mango Book, an authoritative mango cookbook, will lead this celebration of St. Lucia’s luscious tropical delicacy. Special events will include a “mad mango” cocktail party, cooking and chutney-making classes, a five-course mango-themed dinner, mango-themed spa treatments, estate tours and a mixology class devoted to rum drinks. The festivities will culminate with the six-day Mango Madness Festival from June 27 through July 2, featuring different daily culinary events.

Nick and Karolin Troubetzkoy, owners of Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain, are long-time champions of local St. Lucian ingredients like these succulent mangoes. Not only did the couple help jumpstart the movement to stop importing produce that can be grown locally, 40 percent of the ingredients used at the two resorts are grown at the properties’ 600-acre organic estate. In June, St Lucia’s 24 different types of mango ripen and the farm-to-table festivities begin.

Throughout the month of June guests will have the chance to work with the resorts’ expert mixologists to learn how to craft mango-flavored martinis, mojitos and daiquiris. These skilled bartenders can incorporate mango into just about any cocktail—with delicious results.

Weekly mango-tasting sessions throughout June will showcase the versatility of this tropical fruit. Serious foodies will also have the option of booking a spectacular, five-course mango tasting dinner.

Guests can also visit the hotels’ organic farm with Chef Susser and meet Pawan Srivastava, the estate manager and horticulturist who has introduced several different plant species to the farm. Not only will they have the chance to see the mango trees in bloom, they’ll also learn about other home-grown produce like kale, asparagus, mushrooms, vanilla beans, nutmeg and cinnamon. The tour will also touch on the healing properties of certain produce items, as well as fun bits of trivia, like the answer to the question, “Why is cocoa the most intelligent plant?”

For an alternate excursion, guests can wander through Anse Mamin with Meno, one of the island’s local guides. This sprawling estate is currently home to mango trees and cocoa plants, but it was once a sugarcane plantation and has a troubled—but important— history of its own.

Of course, besides all the eating, drinking and exploring, it’s also essential to schedule time for relaxation. At Jade Mountain’s Kai en Ciel spa and Anse Chastanet’s Kai Belte spa, guests can can indulge with body scrubs, wraps and massages that incorporate fresh mango and mango-scented products. Those spa products, as well as mango-themed candles, jams and chutneys, will all be sold at the resort boutiques, for guests looking to bring back reminders of St. Lucia’s unforgettable tropical essence.

 


Elope to Paradise at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet, St Lucia
“Ultimate Wedding Escape” Package Takes the Stress Out of Planning

May 18, 2017…Who says wedding planning needs to be stressful? Whether they’re arriving secretly or bringing friends and family along for the celebration, St. Lucian sister resorts Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain simplify the process for engaged couples, leaving them free to focus on what matters: The love they share and the excitement about getting married. Together, the resorts also offer a stunning hillside venue overlooking the Caribbean that is one of the world’s most distinctive luxury wedding locations. With incredible views of St. Lucia’s Piton World Heritage site and two protected crystal clear bays filled with coral reefs and tropical fish, it’s hard to imagine a more exquisite location to exchange vows.

Beginning with a comprehensive planning consultation, a wedding at Anse Chastanet or Jade Mountain blossoms into a totally personalized event tailored to the bride and groom’s every whim. The talented staff, led by an expert destination wedding concierge who remains on-call for the entire process, will ensure that each wedding is both exclusive and unforgettable.

The Ultimate Escape wedding package at Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain is designed to create a hassle-free, all-inclusive wedding that is strictly tailored to meet the couple’s every need and desire for their big day. With only one to two days of residency in St. Lucia required for non-nationals to be married, the team at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet will organize necessary (yet crucial) details like legal documents, decorations and seating plans, ensuring that the bride and groom feel calm and carefree during the time leading up to their wedding day.

Anse Chastanet is located on an idyllic spot on St. Lucia’s southwestern coast offering an incredible choice of wedding settings. There is no typical, cookie-cutter wedding chapel at the resort, so the couple is free to choose their very own special, private location to say “I do.” Anse Chastanet’s 600-acre tropical estate is home to an array of ceremony location options: A historic colonial-era estate, two white-sand beaches, and a dramatic waterfall nearby. The couple can also choose to marry in the privacy of their sanctuary suite.

Jade Mountain is set high on the hills overlooking the glorious Piton Mountains. Upon arrival at the airport, the bride and groom may choose to transfer to the resort by helicopter, enabling them to better view the beautiful mountain landscape as well as the local rainforests.

Once the couple arrives at Jade Mountain, they are greeted by a personal steward, called a major domo, and led to their sanctuary which awaits them at the end of an individual walkway. Jade Mountain’s spectacular setting and architecture is an unforgettable stage set perfectly for romance. The sanctuaries are grand, sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area and an extravagant private infinity pool meld together. Each sanctuary has a four-poster bed, inside and outside seating areas, double sinks and a two-person bathtub with customizable mood lighting, ideal for the newlyweds looking to enjoy a relaxing soak and glass of champagne. For guests arriving with any lingering stress, spending an hour floating in their private infinity pool at sunset, with softly flickering candles and a cocktail or two, will ensure that they’re totally relaxed before wedding prep begins.
The Ultimate Escape wedding experience is available at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet year-round. The price includes decorations, a multi-tier wedding cake, photographer, videographer, private champagne sunset cruise, spa treatments for both bride and groom, live ceremony music, and embroidered bed linens on the night of the wedding.
The Ultimate Escape Package at Jade Mountain or Anse Chastanet is priced at US $4,750 per couple.

Nightly rates at Jade Mountain start at US$ 1,110 in a Sky Suite.  Price is based on two persons sharing a Sky, Star, Moon, Sun or Galaxy sanctuary. All rates are subject to 8% tax and 10% service charges.

Nightly rates at Anse Chastanet start from US $390 per night in a Standard Room based on two people sharing. There are free night promotions available at both properties offering up to 2 nights free this summer.  Guests traveling in August or September 2017 will also be eligible for a free basic wedding package, details can be found on the resort websites.

 


 

USA Today Readers Vote Jade Mountain "Best Caribbean Resort" and Anse Chastanet "Best Caribbean Beach" in Annual 10Best Readers' Choice Awards
Jade Mountain Club Also Named One of the 10 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean

February 9, 2017—Jade Mountain Club and Anse Chastanet have earned three Readers' Choice awards from 10Best, one of USA Today's travel web sites. Jade Mountain was voted "Best Caribbean Resort" and Anse Chastanet was voted "Best Caribbean Beach." Jade Mountain Club restaurant was also named one of the Top 10 Caribbean Restaurants.

The two hotels were the only St. Lucian properties to win 10Best awards. “We are absolutely thrilled to earn these honors from 10Best and USA Today, and to be in company with some of the most prestigious resorts in the Caribbean,” said Karolin Troubetzkoy, owner and marketing director of Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet.

Set on St. Lucia's southwestern coast, Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain share a lush, scenic 600-acre estate overlooking the Gros and Petit Pitons, 2,500-foot twin volcanoes that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and have come to represent the island itself.

Jade Mountain, which was singled out as the best hotel in the entire Caribbean region, is the intimate and luxurious resort at the upper half of the estate. The hotel is architect and founder Nick Troubetzkoy's fitting tribute to St. Lucia’s dazzling beauty. It's known for its incredible panoramas, generously sized infinity pools and details like carefully handcrafted furnishings sourced from local materials. Troubetzkoy's uncompromising architectural vision also helped bring to life details like dramatically suspended bridge walkways (instead of hallways) and open layout within the rooms. Each suite, called a "sanctuary," is missing a fourth wall to better show off the spectacular Piton and sea views.

Perched high above the sanctuaries is the acclaimed Jade Mountain Club restaurant, a perfect place to watch the sunset. "Wrapped around an infinity pool overlooking the natural grandeur of St. Lucia, the Jade Mountain Club serves seasonal, modern fusion cuisine highlighting the tropical flavors of the Caribbean," says 10Best. The cuisine is overseen by the highly acclaimed chef Allen Susser, who has won the James Beard Foundation's Best Southeast Chef award. Menu highlights include kingfish ceviche, giant prawns, Chateaubriand steak and artisanal chocolate made from locally grown cacao beans.

At the lower part of the property, two beaches are set on crystal-clear bays that are part of a reserve protecting an expansive coral reef teeming with tropical fish. Anse Chastanet, which 10Best readers selected as the Best Caribbean Beach, is directly in front of the resort. As 10Best says, "Those lucky enough to be sprawled out on the sands ... enjoy stellar views of the Piton Mountains and snorkeling just 10 yards from the beach."

To determine the winners, a panel of Caribbean experts partnered with editors to pick 20 nominees for each category. The top 10 winners were then determined by popular vote, with each voter permitted to cast one digital ballot daily during a four-week period. The USA Today Travel Media Group's web sites, including 10Best, rank among the most-visited travel sites in North America as measured by comScore. To see all of the winners, go to www.10best.com/awards/travel/

Both Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet have received numerous accolades such as placement on Travel + Leisure's T+L 500 and World's Best Awards lists, the Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List and Readers' Choice Awards, American Express Travel's Top 25 List and BRIDES magazine's round-up, “The 10 Best Honeymoon Resorts in the Caribbean.” Most recently, Jade Mountain was included in the National Geographic Society's new full-color book, The World's Most Romantic Destinations, as the recommended hotel for St. Lucia.

The Island Of Chocolate

The history of chocolate in Saint Lucia dates as far back as the 1700s when cocoa plantations flourished in the area. And it's no wonder the crops fare exceeding well here; Saint Lucia benefits from a tropical, humid climate moderated by northeast trade winds that allow for enjoyable conditions year-round. The average temperature is 78.8 °F (26°C) at sea level.

Today, many local chefs and resorts are revitalizing this once thriving industry by offering multi-sensory chocolate experiences to guests; in doing so, they are fostering the growth of talented people and strengthening the heritage of chocolate growers.

St. Lucia, May 2016: Jade Mountain, the unique Saint Lucia resort known for its open-air sanctuaries and picture-perfect panoramas, has just rated a spot on American Express Travel's list of the world’s top 25 hotels offering a "Best in Class" customer experience.

Jade Mountain won the award for "Most Breathtaking Views."
This exclusive list was selected from the portfolio of more than 800 luxury getaways worldwide recommended by American Express Travel's Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR). The winning hotels were chosen by an elite group of globetrotting experts: the editors at Departures magazine, American Express Travel Counselors and members of the company's executive team. "These are all hotels that deliver extraordinary experiences to our Card Members," American Express told the winners in a statement.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized by American Express as their choice for Most Breathtaking View and to be in company with some of the most acclaimed hotels in the world,” said Karolin Troubetzkoy, owner and marketing director of Jade Mountain and its adjacent sister hotel, Anse Chastanet.

From the outset, the goal of owner and architect Nick Troubetzkoy has been to showcase Saint Lucia's unrivaled beauty. The mountainside rooms, each with a wall open to the elements, are designed like prosceniums that perfectly frame the waters of the Caribbean and the twin Piton peaks, all part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. As Troubetzkoy puts it, "What I’ve tried to do with Jade Mountain is to change the entire concept of a hotel room. I wanted to create environments that enable guests to forget about the furniture or the fact that they’re in a hotel – in essence, to forget about everything other than experiencing the psychology of this unique space on an intuitive level.”

With its mesmerizing panoramas, generously sized infinity pools and details like carefully handcrafted furnishings sourced from local materials, each room is a majestic, sweeping space that's a true work of art. Jade Mountain is a labor of love and fitting tribute to Saint Lucia’s exquisite beauty.

Both Anse Chastanet and Jade have been named one the world’s top Caribbean hotels by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure.

Jade Mountain, Saint Lucia named one of the World’s Top 100 Hotels and the Caribbean’s No 1 Resort in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2015, for the 4th time and 3rd year in a row!

Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2015New York, NY, July 7, 2015: Travel + Leisure Magazine announced today that Saint Lucia’s Jade Mountain has once again been named one of the Top 100 Hotels in the World and Number One in the Caribbean in the latest Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2015.

For the 4th time and 3rd year in a row Travel + Leisure’s readers have cast their votes for Saint Lucia’s Jade Mountain as the Number 1 Caribbean Resort that defines the very best in travel.

Much of Jade Mountain's success can be attributed to the ongoing direct involvement of owners Nick and Karolin Troubetzkoy in their daily operations and the passion and limitless enthusiasm they have been able to instill in their resort team. Their guest service team is led by the resort major–domo butlers who are assigned to each guest and who look after their resort experience around the clock from arrival to departure.

Guests comment on the extraordinary, attentive service, the innovative farm-to-table culinary approach and of course, the inspiring architecture that is Jade Mountain.

“Walk into the living room and it seems as if you’ve walked into the Pitons: suites have only three walls, offering open-air, panoramic views,” writes Travel + Leisure. “Designed and owned by Russian-Canadian architect Nick Troubetzkoy, the resort has bold and organic architecture that celebrates the natural beauty of St. Lucia."

Nick Troubetzkoy, the resort chairman, architect and builder started his love affair with Saint Lucia and the Caribbean with the opening of Jade Mountain’s sister property, Anse Chastanet in the 70’s. His revolutionary architectural approach produced the bold and completely unique Jade Mountain which opened in early 2007 and is perched on a mountain top overlooking Saint Lucia’s landmark, the spectacular twin Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage site, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. There are 29 suites in total, which are called sanctuaries. In 24 of the sanctuaries, an extravagantly sized private infinity pool seems to be floating out into nature.

Jade Mountain also runs an organic farm and there is an on site chocolate laboratory making chocolate from their own estate grown cocoa trees. Guests have privileges at the adjoining sister resort Anse Chastanet with 2 beaches, additional restaurants and excellent resort activities including jungle biking, scuba diving, hiking and bird watching.

The results of the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2015 are featured on Travel + Leisure and also, in the August issue of Travel + Leisure, on newsstands July 18.

Jade Mountain, Anse Chastanet Switch on for Earth Day

SOUFRIERE, St. Lucia (April 21, 2015) - Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet resorts are marking Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, by switching their lighting systems to an energy efficient, ecologically friendly light-emitting diode (LED) solution.

Karolin Troubetzkoy, who manages operations at the award-winning St. Lucian resorts, said: "We have registered an initiative withEarthDay.org, stating our commitment to change from incandescent to LED lighting."

Carl Hunter, property manager for the world renowned resorts, asserted that the switch to power-saving LED lights will reduce electricity consumption on site from a total lighting load of 120,000 watts to 15,000 watts, a reduction of 87.5 percent of the property's lighting load. This represents a monthly reduction of 37,400 kWh.

Furthermore, he added: "The switch to LED bulbs will significantly reduce our carbon footprint and the resorts' dependence on the burning of expensive fossil fuels to generate energy."

As to cost savings, he asserted they were significant. A minimum savings of $4,140 per month is expected over a lamp's lifecycle of 50,000 hours or 22 years. The investment of approximately US$21,000 will achieve simple payback on energy savings over five months.

The Earth Day Network's year-round mission is to broaden, diversify and activate the environmental movement worldwide, through a combination of education, public policy, and consumer campaigns.

Anse Chastanet, and later Jade Mountain, was built on the philosophical foundation of environmental consciousness, long before ecological sensitivity and energy efficiency became fashionable.

Only natural lighting is used at the resorts during the day. The external areas and grounds are illuminated by yellow lighting, which does not interfere with the local environment or wild animal behavior. Yellow lighting is also used in areas where turtles hatch as it does not disorient the young hatchlings.

With the exception of 12 air conditioned units, all accommodations at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet have been designed to take advantage of natural air flow making air conditioning unnecessary. Additionally, pumping for waste water is limited to a single stage primary lift pump to start the process; the balance of the treatment is done with gravity flow systems, eliminating the need for additional power consumption.

Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain take pride in sharing their commitment to environmental stewardship with resort visitors. "We give our guests information about the culture, history, and ecology of the local region, including local environmental protection efforts and social and cultural activities," said Troubetzkoy.
