Saint Lucia Secrets: Boutique Resorts


Saint Lucia Secrets: Boutique Hotels

Why stay at a boutique hotel? These resorts (generally 10-40 rooms total) have a lot of things going for them despite their smaller size. Boutiques can provide you with one-of-a-kind experiences. You won't be just a number - you will experience wonderful, personalized service from the moment you step foot in the lobby. Your bar tender will know your favorite drink. Your concierge will know your kids names. Many boutiques in Saint Lucia are striving to be in harmony with the environment. And the settings and architecture are all unique - each one has its own special niche and personality! Read below for info on the four boutique hotels we toured while in Saint Lucia.

Jade Mountain

This luxury resort has taken the concept of being one with nature to a whole new level! The organic and unique architecture is unlike any other. Situated high above the beach, it is surrounded by the lush tropical forests of a reserve. The rooms (pictured above) are referred to as sanctuaries and each one enjoys the gorgeous views of the Piton Mountains and Caribbean, as the 4th wall is simply absent. Jade Mountain is where nature and luxury meet in harmony!

Calabash Cove

Along with having one of the prettiest views in Saint Lucia, this resort truly knows how to provide personalized service. The owner of the resort gave us our tour - he made us feel welcomed, patiently answered all of our questions, and even provided cold towels and drinks! Even though we were only there a short time, we could see how the beautiful atmosphere and architecture, beautifully-decorated rooms, and excellent service would make anyone reluctant to leave!

Boucan by Hotel Chocolat

Situated in a cocoa plantation, this luxury boutique is perfect for those looking for seclusion and ultimate relaxation. And if you like chocolate... this may be the perfect hotel for you! You can take the Bean-to-Bar Experience tour that allows you to go out into the plantation to see where the cocoa is harvested and you end up making your own chocolate bar! To keep everything as one with nature and cocoa itself, rooms are simplistic and understated. What is not understated is the cuisine (of course they cook with cocoa) and the grand views.

Ladera

This boutique is eco-friendly in many ways. We ate at their restaurant while touring and we loved the food - grown, caught, and inspired locally. Ladera also has rooms with the 4th wall missing in order to take full advantage of the amazing views. The architecture here feels like a luxury log cabin in paradise. The unique blend of locally-sourced wood and decor and the beautiful views makes this a very unique property.

Adventures on the Nile: Longing to Return

Image
Our visit was over before we knew it and we could have stayed exploring for another few weeks. There are so many options and excursions to take part in, one visit is simply not enough. We are already thinking about the next time we can revisit this amazing destination! And while we were sad to be on our last day in Egypt, it definitely ended on a high note. We spent the morning at the Pyramids of Giza and the afternoon touring the museum in Memphis and the necropolis of Saqqara. We spent a lovely evening eating delicious food at a local restaurant. Then we visited a papyrus shop, where they gave us a demonstration of traditional papyrus creation. We enjoyed spending our final night at the luxurious Conrad Hotel in downtown Cairo. We might have been tired from our full day, but we were not ready for our adventures to be over! If Egypt has been on your bucket list, we encourage you to take the trip soon. You will be blown away by the beauty of its historic landmarks, enjoy t

Adventures on the Nile: a Plethora of Pyramids

Image
Right about the time we thought we'd seen extremely ancient tombs and temples, we visited Saqqara, the necropolis of Memphis, and we gained a whole new perspective of time. Memphis was the first capital after Egypt was united around 3000 BC and remained an important religious center for thousands of years. It lost importance around 300 BC when the Ptolemaic Pharaohs moved the capital to Alexandria. Then when Egypt was conquered by Arabs in 800 AD, Memphis was used as a quarry for the expansion of Cairo. Thankfully Saqqara and its pyramids and tombs survived the ravages of time, neglect, and war. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the oldest stone building in the world, dating to around 2630 BC. And there are other pyramids at Saqqara, as well as just south in Dahshur, which we could see in the distance. We truly enjoyed touring a tomb of the princess Idut (photos were not allowed), where we got to see beautifully preserved depictions of daily life from 4,300 years ago. Simply
