Anse Chastanet: A Unique Slice of Paradise

From the moment you land in St. Lucia, the experience at Anse Chastanet begins. A friendly resort staff member greets you just outside the airport to ensure a smooth transition to your ride. The journey to the resort is about an hour's drive north. While the winding roads and the especially bumpy last two miles can be an adventure (and may require you to take some medication before you jump in the car), they only add to the anticipation of reaching this stunning destination.

Upon arrival, you’re welcomed by the warm and attentive staff, who provide a personalized introduction to the resort and escort you to your room, with luggage conveniently handled and placed in your accommodations.

Anse Chastanet’s design is truly unique, embracing an open-air concept that immerses you in the beauty of the surroundings. Most rooms offer breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea or the iconic Piton Mountains, and no two rooms are alike. A few beachside rooms feature air conditioning for those who prefer it.

It’s worth noting that the resort is built into the side of a mountain, so getting to and from your room or the beach can involve steep climbs. However, the views and serene ambiance make the effort worthwhile.

The resort offers a wide array of activities to enrich your stay. Guests can explore the vibrant underwater world with onsite scuba diving and snorkeling right from the beach or enjoy a relaxing day on the water with sailing excursions. For those seeking tranquility and rejuvenation, the resort features daily yoga classes and indulgent spa services as well as serviced lounge chairs on the beach. For those with a green thumb, you can take a tour of the beautiful farm where they grow fresh produce exclusively for Anse Chastanet and its sister property, Jade Mountain. The farm is a testament to the resort’s commitment to sustainability. It provides an intimate look at how locally sourced ingredients are incorporated into the world-class cuisine offered at the resort’s restaurants.

Additionally, adventure seekers won’t want to miss the chance to visit the nearby Soufrière Volcano, one of St. Lucia’s most iconic natural wonders. Experience the thrill of walking through the world’s only drive-in volcano, marvel at the bubbling sulfur springs and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the volcanic mud baths — an unforgettable highlight of your stay.

Dining at Anse Chastanet is also a highlight. Every dish incorporates ingredients from the resort’s dedicated farm, ensuring fresh, flavorful and sustainable cuisine. This connection to the land adds a special touch to every meal. The offerings of restaurants are world-class, featuring a variety of culinary experiences that cater to every palate. From fresh seafood and Caribbean-inspired dishes to vegetarian options crafted with produce from their organic farm, each meal is a celebration of flavor and creativity. With multiple dining venues to choose from, guests can enjoy everything from casual beachfront fare to elegant fine dining, all while taking in the breathtaking surroundings.

For those seeking a truly distinctive and eco-conscious getaway, Anse Chastanet offers an unforgettable experience in harmony with nature.

Anse Chastanet combines natural beauty, unique architecture and exceptional service to create a one-of-a-kind getaway. It’s highly recommended for those seeking a breathtaking, eco-conscious and adventurous experience. I would recommend Anse Chastanet to my clients looking for a honeymoon or romantic couples' getaway.
