"It's a vista that silences with its power and

for reading and snoozing once you breakaway from the view..."

"Some resorts create a kind of magic- a perfect
blend of setting anfc architecture. Anse Chastanet Resort in St.Lucia
is one of the rare few that achieves this distinction"
-Mark Rogers, Travel Agent Magazine
..."Troubetzkoy has spent 30 years challenging
the travel industry's most cherished beliefs. Rather than bowing to received
opinion on how a hotel should be, he has preferred to draw upon St.Lucia
culture, tapping the arcane knowledge of bush doctors, musicians and
masons. At Anse Chastanet, playing with light and space, he created dynamic
rooms, the "walls" of which were sliding jalousie shutters,
allowing the shape to change at the whim of the guest. Accessibility
was never a priority....."
-Julian Allason, Financial Times How to Spend It Magazine
..."Architect Nick Troubetzkoy has made certain
that his art-filled Anse Chastanet Resort takes full advantage of St.Lucia's
exotic visual appeal. The six-hundred acre former colonial plantation
north of Soufriere has the Pitons for a backdrop and a quarter-mile namesake
cove beach...
- The New Yorker Magazine
"The famous Anse Chastanet resort nestles into
the steep green hillside, its individually designed suites decorated
with dreamily erotic paintings. It's a jaw-dropping scene: in fact, the
beauty is so profligate that most new arrivals seem mildly stunned. Most
just roll onto the volcanic sands, where they remain, immobile as statues,
fanned by passing butterflies. Many allow whole days to pass
without even the merest quiver of activity. A sleek Swedish Amazon may
hitch up her thong before gliding into the gently lapping water. A buffed
fiance stands guard obver his betrothed as she dozes on a hammock, gently
rocking her to and fro. Meanwhile, the most energetic guests stagger
into the resort's spa for his-and hers Swedish -massage lessons.
-Tony Perrottet, Sunday Times
"SCUBA ST LUCIA is rated as one of the world's
top diving destinations. Located in the heart of the marine reserves
at Anse Chastanet Resort, the resort provides a shallow, protected reef
where beginners can learn to dive...."
- American Health and Fitness Magazine
"Anse Chastanet is famous for spectacular diving:
there's a Platinum/PADI Scuba and Watersports Center, and boats ferry
you out to several world class dive sites along the Pinnacles reef. But
I chose to explore a lesser-known offering: 12 miles of mountainbike
trails winding through the ruins of a 19th centure French sugarcane-
and-cocoa plantation next door. Full disclosure: I expected crappy equipment
but a fun ride. What I got was a first-class trail system partially designed
by NORBA phenom Tinker Juarez and my choice of 50 Cannondale F800s, all
fitted with hydraulic shocks and brakes. The ride, over rolling jungle
paths, was excellent - I broke a sweat but still had time to stop and
pick wild avocados, bananas and guavas......"
-Randy Wayne White, Outside Magazine
Not just architectural taste but chutzpa: The choicest
suites in the retreat climb a lush hillside at eye level with the island's
half mile twin peaks.
- Anthony Weller, New York magazine
"Anse Chastanet's setting borders on the surreal."
- Jennifer Quale, Connoisseur Magazine
"On the north side of Soufriere, facing the
twin peaks of the Pitons is one of the Caribbean's most enchanting resorts.
Anse Chastanet, built along a steep hillside of tropical splendor overlooking
a secluded cove, has a setting so idyllic, you will forgive, if not forget,
the atrocious road leading there."
- The 100 Best Resorts of the Caribbean
"Don't come here for three-speed showerheads
and Porthault sheets. The luxury of ANSE CHASTANET run deeper, and dearer.
First, there's the Caribbean's most spectacular view, a Bali Ha'i of
jagged mountains soaring out of the sea that would have sent Gauguin
diving for his umbers and indigos. Then there's the hotel's simple good
taste, from handmade mahogany bed tables to the twist of immaculate madras
on every waitress's head."
- Frommer's Caribbean Hideaways
"With great views of the Pitons, this is St.
Lucia's premier beach resort."
- Rum & Reggae's Caribbean 2000
"If you invest in one of the deluxe hillside
rooms, you're in for a slice of heaven. Nick Troubetzkoy, the Canadian
owner-architect, designed them to meld into the mountainside, with louvered
wooden walls that open to stunning Piton and Caribbean vistas or to the
deep green forest."
- Fodor's Caribbean 2001
"One of the few places that merits the cliché "tropical
paradise," this is not only St Lucia's premier dive resort, but
also an exceptional Caribbean inn. It offers warm service, excellent
food, a beach location, and first-class facilities."
- Frommer's Caribbean 2001
"It is hard to imagine anywhere more lush than
the southwest coast of St.Lucia. In this wild green land, there are mysterious
jungles, steamy volcanoes, secret waterfalls, thick palm forests, and,
most dramatic of all, two spectacular half mile high peaks - the Pitons
- that shoot straight up from the sea. The author Patrick Leigh Fermor
compared the "lonely spikes" to the Matterhorn, while others
have called them the eighth wonder of the world. Yet few travelers know
they exist. And although there are many reasons to stay at ANSE CHASTANET,
the most compelling is that it gives you the opportunity to be part of
this beauty."
- Jennifer Quale, Conoisseur Magazine
