They certainly make the most of their views: the peaks are visible not from one central semi-public pool but from 24 of them…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The 600-acre estate descends to twin black-sand beaches, protected coral reefs, and jungle trails through the historic Anse Mamin sugar plantation.
The rooms
Most open-air sanctuaries feature private infinity pools lined with shimmering glass tiles, completely open to the sea without a fourth wall.
The spa
Bring a swimsuit.
Therapists bring Ayurvedic rituals and cocoa butter wraps directly to the edge of your private sanctuary pool.
The gym and yoga deck
Morning yoga takes place on the Celestial Terrace, and the Cybex-equipped fitness studio looks out over the rainforest.
Restaurant
Jade Mountain Club
The open-air dining room wraps around a reflective pool, serving dishes made with produce from the estate's organic farm.
Each sanctuary is constructed with only three walls. Instead of a fourth wall, the room opens to an unobstructed view of the Caribbean Sea and the Pitons…
At the table
The Celestial Terrace hosts open-air dinners under the night sky, looking straight across to the volcanic Pitons.
How it began
Architect Nick Troubetzkoy built the clifftop structure by hand over three years, using local stone and zero heavy machinery.
“Rising high above the sea and offering an unparalleled view of the Pitons, the hotel features adults-only rooms with an open concept.”
