WOW is the best word to describe Nick Troubetzkoy’s Jade Mountain Resort. Located on the island of St. Lucia, Jade Mountain is a true work of art. Carved into the top of a mountain near the lush rain forest, the hotel offers spectacular views of the Piton Mountains while also giving guests a unique, peaceful experience. Staying at the hotel gives you a sense of floating in space while becoming one with the Pitons. Jade Mountain strives to create an organic spot that exist in harmony with nature. The use of materials and colors all work to help a person restore balance and peace to their life. We had no idea what an amazing experience was in store for us!

Can’t believe winter is still here? Thinking you need a break from this crazy cold snow? Head to my favorite beach paradise, Belmond La Samanna on St. Martin.

Belmond La Samanna, located on the western French side of the island, is pure heaven. The hotel exudes a relaxed, carefree, unpretentious vibe while still being luxurious.  Upon arriving you feel like you could be on the French Riviera- especially after a glass of rosé at the Beach Bar.
