Hotel Spotlight – Jade Mountain

Rising majestically above the organic architecture celebrating St Lucia’s stunning scenic beauty. Architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy has expanded upon his philosophy of building in harmony with Caribbean nature in his creation of Jade Mountain. The bold architectural design – individual bridges leading to exceptional infinity pool sanctuaries and rugged stoned-faced columns reaching towards the sky – makes Jade Mountain one of the Caribbean’s most mesmerizing resort experiences. Expect grand sweeping spaces where bedroom, living area and an extravagant private infinity pool glide into one another to form extraordinary platforms floating out into nature. With the fourth wall entirely absent, Jade Mountain’s sanctuaries are stage-like settings from which to embrace the full glory of St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site, and of course, the eternal Caribbean Sea.

The sanctuaries are each individually designed and each sanctuary and pool are uniquely different in layout and shape. The sanctuaries are large, openly designed spaces in which the bathroom, bedroom and living areas and the infinity edge pool areas with 15 ft high soaring ceilings flow into one another. There is no formal separation between the sleeping and living spaces.

All rooms have king size beds, refrigerators, in room safes, hair dryers, in sanctuary coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. The “Sun” infinity pool sanctuaries also have a small wine cellar in addition to the refrigerator.The Infinity Pools The private ozone-treated infinity pools range from 450 to over 900 square feet – their sizes increase in relation to the different square footage of the sanctuary categories: STAR, MOON, SUN and GALAXY.

 

 

All pools feature shallow water lounging areas in addition to a large swimming area. At night they are illuminated with fibre optic lights. Guests can personally control the colour of the fibre optics in their pool. All of the pools have been surfaced entirely in one-of-a-kind iridescent glass tiles, which have been specifically designed for Jade Mountain.

 

Each of the infinity pools has its own individually designed glass tile color scheme which is then carried onto the individual bathrooms, giving each sanctuary its own unique – and rather bold – personality.
