Hillside resort amid the lush Pitons of St. Lucia

From every point on the property, the panorama stretches out across a green sea of rain forest.

The six villas and 19 suites each have an open wall exposing breathtaking views of the Caribbean.

The award-winning restaurant, Dasheen, features fresh fruit from the resort’s landscaped gardens, and the pool and sundeck overlook the Caribbean Sea.

Graced by dense flowering gardens, the stone-and-wood resort caters to couples seeking mountain air, a rainforest setting, and dramatic views for tranquil holidays and rejuvenation. Children under age 15 are not permitted at the resort except December 21 to January 2, when the minimum age is four.

A freeform, infinity-edge pool and wood sundeck offer views of the twin Piton peaks and, between them, Jalousie Bay, which is 304.75m (1,000 ft) below the ridge on which the resort sits. The resort furnishes complimentary snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and towels. It also provides complimentary shuttle service to Jalousie Bay beach and Anse Chastanet beach for swimming and snorkeling; independent operators there offer scuba diving and other water sports.

Not only is a bird's-eye view of postcard-perfect Marigot Bay available en route from the island's north-end airport near Castries, guests can also stop at Plas Kàssav, a locally renowned rustic roadside bakery 24 km (15 mi) from the resort that sells disks of warm cassava bread with flavors such as chocolate, cherry, and saltfish.

The resort's four-room, air-conditioned Ti Kaí Posé Spa not only does treatments on site but also offers a trip to Sulphur Springs—3.25 km (2 mi) from the resort—for a Sulphur Mud Wrap. The spa also provides nail care. A computer in the reception building supplies high-speed Internet access (surcharge).
