Jade Mountain Named Best Caribbean Hotel
The results are based on a comprehensive reader's survey covering all aspects of an outstanding resort. Jade Mountain was chosen as the top resort in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Bahamas category and also ranked third out of the top 100 hotels worldwide.

Owners Nick and Karolin Troubetzkoy have been asked to accept their award in the upcoming awards dinner in New York. "Our resort team has worked very hard since Jade Mountain opened more than two years ago, to perfect and fine tune every aspect of the resort experience. We cannot thank them enough for their commitment and enthusiasm throughout," Karolin Troubetzkoy said in a statement prepared for reporters.

The Troubetzkoys were equally delighted to report that Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain's sister property, placed fourth in the Caribbean's Top 25 category. "Our teams at Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet have a healthy competition going among themselves at all times - the guests definitely are the beneficiaries of this drive and ambition. We are very pleased to see both resorts register top marks from the Travel + Leisure survey today," Karolin Troubetzkoy added.

Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet enjoy one of the most scenic settings in the Caribbean, overlooking St. Lucia's twin Piton peaks, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nestling in a 600-acre estate with two soft sand beaches bordering pristine coral reefs, Anse Chastanet is in complete harmony with its natural surroundings and offers excellent diving facilities plus many other activities.

In the fall of 2006, Anse Chastanet's architect and owner Nick Troubetzkoy completed construction of Jade Mountain. His bold architectural design - individual bridges leading to extravagant infinity pool sanctuaries and rugged stoned-faced columns reaching towards the sky - have established Jade Mountain as one of the Caribbean's most unique resort experiences.

More sculpture than structure, Jade Mountain has been called by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World and many argue it should be on everyone's Top Places to see before departing the planet.
