Tranquility, romance, adventure: Rediscover the classic Caribbean at Anse Chastanet on St. Lucia’s quiet southwestern coast where two magical peaks, the Pitons, leap from the sea, covered with luminous greenery.
Architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy believes passionately in nature, so he created a hotel that makes the foliage and the flowers, the perfumes and the peaks, the sea and the birdsong an integral part of your vacation experience. The estate encompasses 600 lush tropical acres bordering two soft sand beaches. Not only do you get a World Heritage site anchored by the twin peaks on land, the resort’s two crystal-clear bays are part of a designated marine reserve protecting colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish.
