Anse Chastenet Hotel, St Lucia | St Lucia Hotels | Hotels in St Lucia | St Lucia Beach Hotels | 4 star hotels in St Lucia

Full Description

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 waters of the Caribbean. A second beach, Anse Mamin, is just around the corner and can be reached by the resort's water taxi. St Lucia's trademark green peaks - the Gros and Petit Pitons - make for a dramatic backdrop.
While the sensuous seclusion of the rooms provide the perfect excuse for lolling on the balcony, there are many activities on offer, such as snorkelling, scuba diving, tennis, sunset sailing to jungle biking or a nature walk among the ruins of a colonial plantation.
Or just relax on the beach, or enjoy one of the therapeutic body and beauty treatments offered by ANSE CHASTANET'S spa Kai Belte located at beach level. There's also a casual, beachside bar and restaurant.

PLEASE NOTE that there are approximately 100 stairs leading from beach level to mid-hillside level, thus making the property unsuitable for those with walking difficulties or cardiac problems. This is never a question of age. A complimentary shuttle service from beachside to hillside level is provided any time it is requested.
