About the Resort
The original St Lucia luxury resort
Anse Chastanet is the original St Lucia luxury resort, an eco-immersed 600-acre estate above two soft-sand beaches in a marine reserve — home to some of the Windwards' best beach diving via the on-site Scuba St Lucia. Individually designed hillside rooms, some with an open fourth wall, frame views of both Pitons, while organic farm-to-table dining (including a dedicated vegetarian restaurant) and jungle biking on the Anse Mamin plantation define a barefoot, nature-led stay.

★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Anse Chastanet. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

You Might Also Consider
Other St Lucia resorts you might consider
St Lucia
Jade Mountain
The Caribbean's most iconic room design: open-fourth-wall sanctuaries with private infinity pools framing the Pitons, perched on a cliff above sister resort Anse Chastanet. James Beard-winning cuisine, no TVs and an adults-oriented calm — with two beaches and a dive centre on the estate below.
St Lucia
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
A Viceroy resort set literally between the two Pitons, on a rare white-sand beach in a hundred acres of rainforest. Villas, cottages and beachfront bungalows with private plunge pools and butler service, a treehouse Rainforest Spa, and a PADI dive facility in the marine reserve at Petit Piton's base.
St Lucia
Ladera Resort
The only resort on the UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a volcanic ridge directly between the two Pitons. Pioneering open-fourth-wall suites, each with a private heated plunge pool and no TVs, the award-winning farm-to-table Dasheene and a 2,000-bottle Wine Room — a Green Globe romance icon.
