Anse Chastanet
St. Lucia's premier resort still has the right stuff, and good bones—both natural and manmade—have a lot to do with it. The open-air rooms and villas are terraced into a lush hillside, and it's a steep 103-step descent to the resort's azure cove and white-sand beach. Some tree-top units feel like rain-forest gazebos, a wonder to sleep in during a good rain. Several offer stupendous views of the Pitons and the blue Caribbean. Those with mobility issues may prefer a room down on the beach, which come with hammocks and private patios. All rooms are attractively furnished with wooden jalousie windows or walls, clay tile floors, original art, and madras-cloth accents.
