“ We here at Jade Mountain are very honored to be recognized as one of the Fodor’s 100 Hotel Award winners in the section Trip of a Lifetime”, says Karolin Troubetzkoy who together with her husband Nick are the hands-on resort owners. Nick, who is also the architect behind Jade Mountain, adds: “In our creation of Jade Mountain, we wanted to celebrate not only Saint Lucia’s stunning scenery but present our guests with an environment where the combination of the ethereal view with earth, air and water unlocks the potential for a profound and magical level of enjoyment and celebration.
The adventurous journey to your sanctuary is via a long suspended sky bridge to infinity which is yours and yours alone. The infinity pool in front of you is a luminescent Persian carpet floating you out into space, to hover over the Caribbean Sea, hypnotized by St Lucia’s magnificent Piton Mountains.”
