Anse Chastanet

Our recent time spent at Anse Chastanet was really lovely! All the staff were very helpful & friendly throughout our 2-week stay. To wake up every day to a lovely view of both the Pitons & the ocean was very special. The close-up view of the hummingbirds next to our balcony each day was an added bonus! The beach was great & the beach staff were all very attentive & friendly. This is definitely a resort we would return to, & we hope one day we will. We much appreciated the kind gestures re our special birthday & wedding anniversary. I would recommend Anse Chastanet without hesitation.

We had seen this resort on our last visit to the island a few years ago and said it was on our list to stay. It did not disappoint. The resort is located by the majestic Piton mountains and on Anse Chastanet beach in 600 acres of lush tropical forest. The resort is perfectly small with only 49 individually designed rooms which are all scattered through the hills and on the beach. There is lots to keep you occupied if you want an active holiday (bikes, walking trails, scuba, sailing and snorkelling) or really comfortable sunbeds if you just want to laze on under sunshades. The beach has the most comfortable sunbeds with sunshades and towels are provided. (There are plenty to go round). The sand is fine and is flecked with quartz. Drinks and food can be served at your sunbed or there is the restaurant just a few steps away. The food and drinks were of top quality. The menus were well thought through and there was always a mix of local dishes and international cuisine. All dietary types were catered for. The drinks are premium brands and the wine list is very good. There is entertainment every evening in the bar until 10pm. This was perfect for us. The staff are very friendly and helpful and always on hand. We found the resort was just right for us as a couple. We went for total rest and relaxation and that is what we found. This is definitely not a criticism, but an observation that the steps down to the beach are very steep, well worth the effort though. We are already thinking of booking for next year - what does that tell you?

The beach truly is an incredible work of nature. But, it is because of the kind and professional people in the photo below that we are returning this year. Thank you for allowing guests from cold climates to share the beauty of your home land and experience the spirit of the Saint Lucian people.

At the foot of St Lucia’s cone-shaped island, the Anse Chastenet resort sits on 600 acres of conserved forest. Rooms are built into a hillside with stairs to the beach, a protected cove with reefs to snorkel, wicker chairs under thatched huts, 2 bars, a scuba center and a yoga gazebo. If this sounds like paradise, it is. For active visitors, there are the Pitons, two picturesque volcanic humps to climb, if you’re up for 3200 ft of elevation gain. For snorkelers, there are fish in the coral reef, and sea turtles in the seagrass. Tennis players have courts under palm trees. For foodies, chef-prepared meals of fresh fish, Caribbean flavored stews snd soups, and delicate French influenced desserts. Chocolate is grown and harvested at the resort, and turned into pure deliciousness by the chocolatier. For us, Meno’s guided nature walk was a highlight. But every day was just as fine as the one before it. Leaving this well-run resort was the sad part.

Kate, Al, Kat and Oscar Captain Ted Lennox from Sugar Boat Charters did our airport transfer to Asne Chastenet and a subsequent transfer from there to Sandal’s Grande. From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. Ted tracked our flight and had a taxi at the ready to receive us at the airport. After a short ride, we arrived at the dock where Captain Ted and First Mate Grace loaded our luggage onto the boat and off we went. We were treated to the most incredible St. Lucian sunset and breathtaking views. Ted drove us right up to the dock at Asne Chastenet, hoisted the luggage onto the dock, rolled up to an awaiting van, and then onto Registration whist our luggage was being delivered to our rooms. Seamless. Perfect way to navigate St. Lucia!
