3 Great Reasons To Honeymoon At Jade Mountain
Why Jade Mountain Is Still the Most Extraordinary Honeymoon Resort in the Caribbean
There are beautiful resorts in the Caribbean. There are luxurious resorts. And then there is Jade Mountain — a place so singular in its design, its setting, and its sense of drama that it occupies a category entirely its own. I have been sending couples here for years, and I have never had one come home disappointed.
But Jade Mountain is also not for everyone. It is genuinely remote, genuinely expensive, and genuinely unlike anything you have stayed in before. This review will tell you exactly what makes it so extraordinary — and help you decide whether it is the right match for your honeymoon.
1. The Sanctuaries: There Is Nothing Like Them Anywhere
Every suite at Jade Mountain — called a sanctuary — is designed with one radical architectural choice: the fourth wall is entirely absent. There is no glass, no screen, no barrier between you and the view. Your infinity pool flows toward the horizon. The Pitons rise directly in front of you. The Caribbean Sea stretches as far as you can see. You are, quite literally, living inside the landscape.
Each sanctuary is reached by its own private bridge — and nobody is permitted to cross that bridge unless invited by the guest. Not staff, not housekeeping without prior arrangement, not other guests. The privacy is absolute. The sense of being the only two people in the world — with those views — is as close to perfect as a hotel can get.
The sanctuary categories range from the Sky Whirlpool Suites (which have a large chromatherapy soaking tub for two rather than a private pool) up through Star, Moon, Sun, and Galaxy — each larger, with a bigger infinity pool and more commanding views. Bathrooms are individually designed with rain showers, six body sprays, and whirlpool tubs elevated specifically so you can soak while looking at the Pitons.
Lower level. Fourth wall open. Large chromatherapy tub rather than a pool — but the views are still stunning and the entry price is the most accessible.
The most popular categories for honeymooners. Your own infinity pool, open fourth wall, and Piton views. Moon has a larger pool than Star.
Corner location gives 270-degree panoramic views. The step up in volume and light is immediately noticeable. A genuinely special experience.
Three sanctuaries only. The most commanding panoramic views on the property, the largest pools, the highest position on the mountain. Bucket-list territory.
"For most honeymooners, a Moon Sanctuary is the sweet spot — large enough pool, spectacular views, and a more accessible price point than Sun or Galaxy. But if this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip and budget allows, the Sun sanctuaries offer a noticeably different sense of space and light that is worth the upgrade."
2. The Food, the Farm, and the Chocolate Lab
Jade Mountain is not an all-inclusive resort — meals are an additional cost, and the dining is worth every penny. The Jade Mountain Club, the property's signature restaurant, is positioned at the top of the mountain with sweeping views over the Caribbean and the Pitons. Cuisine here is the work of James Beard Award-winning Chef Allen Susser, described by the resort as "Jade Cuisine" — a Caribbean-meets-international approach that leans heavily on organic produce grown on the property's own Emerald Farm.
That farm is genuinely part of the experience. Guests can visit and see where their food is coming from. The chocolate lab takes it further — a hands-on chocolate-making masterclass using locally grown cacao that has become one of the most popular experiences on property. For honeymooners who love food, this adds an entire dimension to the stay that most Caribbean resorts simply cannot offer.
Dining options extend beyond the Club. Through its sister property Anse Chastanet — accessible by a two-minute shuttle — guests have access to several beachside restaurants including a vegan option, an Indian fusion restaurant, and the Treehouse for fine dining with Caribbean flavors. In-sanctuary dining is available 24 hours at no extra charge, with a range of special occasion menus designed for private romantic dinners.
3. The Setting: St. Lucia's Pitons Are Unlike Anything Else in the Caribbean
Most luxury resorts offer beautiful beaches. Jade Mountain offers the Pitons — twin volcanic peaks that rise dramatically from the sea and are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no view in the Caribbean quite like it. The fact that Jade Mountain is the only resort property with a direct sightline to both Petit Piton and Gros Piton simultaneously, from virtually every sanctuary, is the foundation on which everything else is built.
"Our sanctuary was like nothing I've seen before. It was romantic, comfortable, breathtaking — the list could go on and on. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The open-air feeling made me feel like I was living in a dream."
— Ricky & Gayle, Bliss Honeymoon ClientsBeyond the views, Jade Mountain is perched above the 600-acre Anse Chastanet estate, which includes two secluded Caribbean beaches with pristine coral reefs directly offshore for snorkeling. Adventure seekers have access to over 12 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, a PADI 5-Star scuba diving operation, and a full suite of water sports. The resort is entirely technology-free by design — no TVs, no telephones, no radios in the sanctuaries — which is either a feature or a dealbreaker depending on the couple.
