Honeymoon In St Lucia At An Exclusive Resort In Soufriere


Kelly J Wilson asked:


If you are looking for a top quality out of this world experience for your anniversary or honeymoon look no further than this exclusive resort at Soufriere.

A Honeymoon in St Lucia at an exclusive resort in Soufriere, or an anniversary getaway, should be a surprise for one part of the couple. Romance isn’t dead, but it can be seriously wounded by giving away secrets. This is especially true when you choose a spectacular somewhat futuristic style resort like the Jade Mountain Resort.

The Jade Mountain Resort is high in the hills over looking the Twin Pitons and the Caribbean, in fact it is a two hour long and somewhat bumpy ride up and down the mountain from the small sleepy town of Soufriere, so many guests choose to arrive at Hewanorra and complete their journey by helicopter. There is however something more romantic taking the road, because you really feel you are going to the back of beyond, which to some extent you are.

Jade Mountain Resort isn’t just an exclusive resort in St Lucia, being there is an experience in itself. Technically it is actually an exclusive resort within the grounds of Anse Chastanet which is a luxurious resort in its own right anyway.

Its exclusivity is a good enough reason to choose it for your honeymoon in St Lucia, but you will need deep pockets if you do.

When you first set eyes on Jade Mountain Resort your initial reaction will probably be one of disbelief. It looks like a cross between a James Bond Villain’s futuristic and almost malevolent looking eyrie. It is stark, it looks somehow almost unfinished, and yet it could be just about something from the Stone Age.

As a building it is completely open on the side, almost like a dolls house when you pull open the front. What this means is views, views, and more views, because you are effectively sleeping in the open, and when you open your eyes, then you have this totally incredible dramatic views of the Twin Pitons. In fact the views are so amazing you will have to drag yourself away, whether you are sitting in a chair gazing in awe, or swimming in your private infinity pool.

Your open sided room has different areas for sleeping, sitting out, and eating, and all are in fact called Sanctuaries, and that effectively is what they are!! Each Sanctuary is unique in its design, and according to the name, the size of the accommodation just gets bigger, and more expensive, with the largest called Sun, and the others Moon, Star, and Sky.

Local woods have been extensively used, and the bathrooms are out of this world complete with whirlpool tubs for two.

You couldn’t choose anywhere bettr for your honeymoon in St Lucia than the Jade Mountain Resort.

Guests at this exclusive resort can dine at Anse Chastanet, and in fact they can use all of the resort’s facilities, but if this is a honeymoon or anniversary, who needs the company. The Jade Mountain Resort has its own restaurant the Jade Mountain Club, which serves all meals including afternoon tea, and then there is the Celestial Terrace, one floor above, both with the same mind numbing views of the Pitons.

Jade Mountain Resort is just a wonderful escape, probably enough for three or four days to start your honeymoon in St Lucia, but for a total battery recharge in the most spectacular surroundings, there are few places anywhere to beat it.



A Luxury Vacation Rental Villa in St Lucia


Kelly J Wilson asked:


Why not check out a fully staffed luxury vacation rental villa called Brigand Hill in St Lucia.

A Luxury Vacation Rental for a family, or a romantic wedding destination. Brigand Hill could be either of these things, perhaps even a romantic honeymoon destination. Brigand Hill is situated within the 500 acre St Lucia Estates Plantation. Named after the famous Brigands who fought the British over 200 years ago. The estate contains the famous Brigands Cave as well as its own private beach.

Brigand Hill has got probably the best situation on the estate with wonderful views of the mountains, the rain forest, the Caribbean Sea and it looks down on the plantation floor.

There are five bedrooms, three in the main house, each with luxury private bathroom, and two in a cabana, sharing a bathroom, and Brigand Hill comes fully staffed with cook/maid/gardener and caretaker. There is a dining room, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen and is so designed as to maximize the cool breezes.

Whilst this is undoubtedly a luxury vacation rental villa, with all mod cons it is nevertheless very much a home from home, quite rustic in many respects but really peaceful, and not at all formal. You’ll really be able to relax here and unwind.

Because of it’s lovely tranquil and very beautiful setting Brigand Hill is the perfect place as a romantic wedding destination. You can choose to get married on the beach, or at the old plantation site, or in the villa itself which as mentioned previously has spectacular views. In terms of accommodation it will hold five couples, and there are two villas nearby who could accommodate a further seven couples, and if there were more, then this can be sorted.

Brigand Hill could be perfect as a romantic honeymoon destination, by booking the whole place, and then enjoy being waited on hand and foot. Here you can enjoy the secluded beach with some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving on St Lucia.

The housekeeper cooks like a dream, with island specialities, and her pumpkin soup is not to be missed.

There is a lot to do in the local area , and you can be as energetic as you choose, after all you chose Brigand Hill as your romantic honeymoon destination. You can go mountain biking or climbing the Pitons, if you are seeking really vigorous exercise. Slightly less energetic would be hiking to the famous Brigand Cave, a walk through the plantation, and swimming off the private beach.

The alternatives for the less energetic includes lying in a hammock drinking a rum punch and savouring the views. The same holds true when swimming in the pool off the sundeck, the views are truly spectacular. You will really not want to venture far to find something to do.

Brigand Hill really is a magical place, the whole setting is just so beautiful and the sunsets are almost out of this world. It is so secluded, yet if you want you can sample some of the many excellent local restaurants. This is some luxury vacation rental villa, could be the perfect spot as a romantic wedding destination, and the almost perfect romantic honeymoon vacation destination, and that just about says it all.
