WHY VISIT Jade Mountain is a property that is ideal for travelers who truly want to get away and reconnect with the natural world—whether through land, sea, food or meditation. It's a destination, much like the country in which it's built, that's meant to fill the senses and feed the soul. Out there, at the edge of your personal sanctuary, as the sun cascades off the side of the Petit Piton and perfumes of the Caribbean bury their hooks into your heart, you'll begin to rethink your reality. There's a reason why Jade Mountain has been named at the top of so many travel and honeymoon lists, and it's a secret that only those who venture to its blissful summits can tell. No five-star experience is worth its weight without top-notch dining—and Jade doesn't disappoint. Beyond the opportunity to eat every meal right in the comfort of your sanctuary and indulge in the local tastes in Soufrière, the resort's culinary program matches the standards of its views. Atop the resort—with a view that's the envy of every sanctuary on the property—is the Jade Mountain Club (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner). Artfully designed with an infinity pool and kaleidoscope-like tiles, this is where the resort features its aptly named Jade Cuisine. e product of James Beard Award-winning chef Allen Susser, Jade Cuisine is an audacious array of eclectic food that harkens back to St. Lucia's tropical offerings while at the same time broadening its horizons.
