Ever since architect Nick Troubetzkoy first purchased the first 14 hillside units, and throughout the expansion and renovation that followed, design in harmony with nature, complementing the island's natural beauty, has remained his focal point. The 600-acre site is a lush garden of tropical foliage bordering one of the island's best beaches, where soft silver sands dip into the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

A second beach, Anse Mamin, belonging to the estate is just around the corner and can be reached by the Resort's water taxi. St. Lucia's trademark green peaks - The Gross and Petit Pitons - make for a dramatic backdrop. No two rooms at Anse Chastanet are exactly alike. Twelve beach level units are tucked away behind the coconut palms, just stops from the water`s edge and the resort's renowned SSI Platinum Pro/PADI dive facility.

Perched on the hill are Anse Chastanet`s original rooms; cheery white-washed cottages with wrap-around wooden balconies. These octagonal-shaped ``gazebos`` offer splendid views of the Pitons and the sea, framed by an abundance of flourishing blossoms. Chairs and beds are covered in madras prints - a traditional island fabric of bright plaid woven with the same colors as the ginger lilies, anthuriums and bougainvillea found in every room.
