My friends, I am so excited to return to the Anse Chastanet for this adventure. We absolutely loved it there. Everything was just wonderful. The diving was relaxful and exhilarating. The villas were super nice & spacious. The staff was just excellent. And the food…OMG…it was probably the best dining experinceout of all the dive trips I have ever done (I gained 14lbs for the 10 days I was there…no joke). The overall resort experience was outstanding. They certainly went out of their way to make our group feel extra special. From having our own dive boat & crew the entire week to the private catered beachside dinners we enjoyed…this trip was just awesome! We can’t wait to return!
Your personal invitation from Dan...
Out of all the Caribbean islands, the island of St. Lucia stands apart. I have always said that St. Lucia is the Maui of the Caribbean. But better in a sense that it is a better dive destination.
Just look at some of the photographs of the island. Beautiful lush-green landscapes, towering prominent mountains, gorgeous beaches, and spectacular deep blue water all along the island. Not to mention a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. There are few places on Earth that meet this standard.
The diving around the island is also very special. Because of the nature of the island, most of the dive sites are very close to shore. Most boat rides are only 5-10 minutes away. The waters around the island attract a wonderful concentration of marine life. This is because of the nutrients flowing into the water all along the islands edge. Coupled with the local’s initiative-taking conservation efforts, we are all rewarded with abundant marine life and beautiful soft & hard corals. And not only is the diving gorgeous but the island itself is a virtual outdoor playground. My goodness…just think about the views. Personally, I cannot wait to hike up to the top of a hill and just enjoy the moment. But there is just so much to explore. The Sulphur Springs, Diamond Waterfall, and rain forest. Not to mention the birds and flowers. A true natural paradise.
For this adventure, we have partnered with the truly astonishing Anse Chastanet Resort. Consistently rated as one of the Caribbeans best resorts, we are sure to be treated to a wonderful & relaxful dive vacation. The resort sits on six hundred acres, bordering two soft sand beaches of oceanfront beauty and splendor. This all-inclusive resort is sure to please. Between the unique Beachside accommodations, the many dining options (they even operate their own farm), onsite dive center, manicured beaches, and house reef, we are sure to have a grand time.
Regarding the accommodations, (and unlike our 2023 trip) we have booked only the 12 air-conditioned Deluxe Beachside rooms (max group size of 24 people). The Deluxe Beachside rooms will eliminate the need to walk up and down the hill. And these rooms are quite large and are only a short little walk to the beach, beachside restaurant/bar and the dive center.
****The resort also has a very private Beach House for any couple wanting a special & unique experience. We have also reserved this for our group but there is only one and it’s available first-come-first serve.
Extend your stay at world famous Jade Mountain Resort
If you truly want a once in a lifetime experience & to totally indulgeyourselves…extend your stay for an additional three days at the ultra-luxury Jade Mountain Resort. My wife & I did this for the 2023 trip and let me just say…this was truly something special. I have been all around the world and stayed at some nice places but nothing and I mean nothing compares to The Jade Mountain. We stayed in an 1800sf suite with our private infinity pool overlooking the Piton mountains. We even had our own butler waiting on us 24/7! And the food at The Jade Club was truly something extraordinary. The views alone make the meals special, but the food was out of this world. Five course dinners are the norm every night. A true culinary experience.
We have negotiated a special price with the resort for this trip add-on. The price includes a 3-night stay in a Star Sanctuary suite with your own private infinity pool. It includes all meals at The Jade Club and an additional 3 days of diving! The price for this add-on stay is $3499 per person / double occupancy. My friends…you should treat yourself. You only live once, right?
