Anse Chastanet is set on 600 acres of tropical beachfront property in the shadows of St. Lucia’s famed Piton Mountains. Known for its lush tropical surroundings, black sand beach, and unique nature inspired and inclusive suites, Anse Chastanet provides you the opportunity to get away from it all and slip into a truly romantic Caribbean experience.
Literally built into a mountainside and only steps away from amazing snorkeling and diving, as part of a protected marine reserve, Anse Chastanet is the brainchild of architect Nick Troubetzkoy. He has seamlessly crafted a property synonymous with the nature that surrounds it, most notably though suites literally built around trees and 3-walled suites that open right up to amazing views of the surrounding area but remain completely secluded. It’s the perfect romantic atmosphere.
The beaches at Anse Chastanet are unique in that they are black sand beaches. I had never seen a black sand beach until I visited the property and while it isn’t typical to what I am used to in the Caribbean I definitely thought it was cool. A word of advice though, if you think that white sand beaches can get hot in the afternoon I seriously suggest that you bring a pair of flip-flops for the black sand here.
For a small boutique style property Anse Chastanet actually offers a wide range of dining options including a fully vegetarian restaurant, Emeralds. From the beach grill to the fine dining in TreeHouse Restaurant all of the dining options are amazing. I had the privilege of trying more than my fair share from the menus and you won’t be disappointed.
Overall Anse Chastanet caters to romance and those that wish to get away from it all, but there are plenty of activities for you should you need a little adventure amidst your tropical escape. The resort offers yoga, tennis, sunset sailing, sea kayaking or jungle biking, hiking, bird-watching among the ruins of an 18th century colonial plantation, and some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the Caribbean.
I recommend Anse Chastanet to those looking for a truly romantic experience, true nature lovers, and for those really looking to escape it all for a few days. It's a great property and one of my favorites in St. Lucia.
