Nestled in the mountains next to the small town
of Soufriere on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia
lies the luxurious Anse Chastanet Resort. St. Lucia
is dominated by the majestic Piton mountains; a
pair of volcanic peaks that are visible from most
of the island and which provide a stunning, exotic
backdrop. Rooms are spacious and beautifully
appointed with premium rooms overlooking the
bay and even more luxurious, completely private
SDOP
78
suites located on Jade Mountain, offering a
large secluded infinity pool and one room wall
completely open.
The diving is excellent with St. Lucia offering
some of the most pristine reefs in the Caribbean.
All dive sites are within a 15-minute boat ride of this
resort with most being much closer. In fact, the dive
site considered to be one of the best on the island is
“Anse Chastanet”, a shore dive right off the beach.
