St. Lucia is the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about. From the peaceful sandy beaches to the majestic Pitons, located in the southeast, St Lucia is captivating to the eye. One of the Windward Isles, St Lucia is a small volcanic island just 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, yet it has a rich diversity of high mountains, tropical rainforest, and white powder sands, all nestling against the backdrop of the tropical blue Caribbean Sea.
The island's steep coastlines and array of coral reefs offer excellent snorkelling and scuba diving whilst the tropical rainforests of St. Lucia's mountainous interior are one of the Caribbean's finest for hiking and bird-watching. If neither of those entice you then maybe the islands excellent facilities for golf, tennis, sailing, and a host of other activities will suit you. As well as the beautiful scenery, St Lucia is home to an array of wildlife from the elegant tiny Hummingbirds and the indigenous St Lucia parrot, to the Humpback Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins that can be found just off the coast.

The hotel corridor, for instance, has been replaced by a suspended sky bridge. The fourth wall of your room is irrelevant because there is no fourth wall – it has been left out to transform the sweeping space into a stage for the dazzling view of the Pitons.
From the outset it was architect and proprietor Nick Troubetzkoy’s desire for guests to become part of the unforgettable view. To do this, he not only abandoned the fourth wall, but he enhanced the panorama by the strategic placement of a large private infinity pool. You can, as a guest, literally dive into the view below.
This is a place where you leave your mobile and laptop behind and allow your private sanctuary to orchestrate an extraordinary series of sensory experiences.
Sanctuary is the key word for Jade Mountain. It is not a hotel, it is a sanctuary, or a collection of sanctuaries.

It’s all about the view. From the restaurant, from the bar, from the pool from your room, the Pitons are bang in front of you with their jungle-clad volcanic stone faces plummeting into the placid blue Caribbean below.
It is also one of the most discreet views. From a distance Ladera is invisible. Hidden in the dense verdant jungle that covers most of the island’s mountains, it is a stellar example of how to build in a beautiful location without wrecking it.
Green, moreover, is very much the dominant theme here, especially in the context of the environment. To start with it’s not air conditioned and for good reason, you don’t need it. All the buildings are open, exposed to the cool winds that tend to swirl around the mountaintops.
Ladera is that rare find, a hotel that is a completely individual and totally unique proposition
