Postcards from St. Lucia: My Favorite Finds from the Island

I recently returned from a deep dive into the lush landscapes of St. Lucia. If you’re looking for that perfect blend of high-end service and raw natural beauty, I can say with certainty: St. Lucia is calling your name.



I spent time at three of the island’s most iconic properties, and each offered a unique way to experience the Caribbean:

Anse Chastanet: Authentic Island Soul

Staying in a Beach Deluxe room—literally steps from the sand—offered a deep dive into the heart of the island.

• Local Flavor: I loved learning the history behind the staff’s vibrant Madras uniforms.

• The Highlights: The reefs are just a swim away for world-class snorkeling, and the evenings are perfect for sunset cocktails and live music.

• Hidden Gem: Take a quiet stroll over to Anse Mamin for a day of total seclusion.

Jade Mountain: An Architectural Masterpiece

I’ll be honest: it’s the first time I’ve ever cried walking into a hotel room. This is a literal masterpiece where the "fourth wall" is replaced by a breathtaking view of the Pitons.

• The Sanctuary: There is nothing like swimming in your private infinity pool while soaking in those iconic views—we even enjoyed a relaxing massage right in our room.

• The Service: Our Major Domos (private butlers) were incredible, making the stay feel entirely seamless.

• Dining & Adventure: Every meal was a 10/10, whether it was room service with a view or the outstanding restaurant service. Plus, you have easy access to the diving and the quiet beaches of Anse Mamin.

Cap Maison: The Crown Jewel of Dining

There is "vacation dining," and then there is Relais & Châteaux dining. This property remains a true crown jewel of the island.

• The Villa: We stayed in a spacious private pool villa, which provided the ultimate front-row seat to watch the sun dip into the Caribbean Sea.

• The Naked Fisherman: A highlight was the effortless beach relaxation at their down-to-earth beach club. It’s the perfect spot to transition from a swim to a chilled-out lunch.

• The Experience: Between the world-class cuisine and the elegant atmosphere, it’s a true foodie’s paradise.
