Summer’s warm whispers are soon to be a distant memory so autumn is the perfect time to collate tropical bucket lists. Set on St Lucia’s Southwestern Coast, the Jade Mountain Resort is the stuff of day dreams. Sitting pretty on a cliffside with a maze of dramatic suspension bridges connecting each suite to the common areas and infinity pools, the five-star luxury resort hotel offers plenty to do when you’re not staring slack-jawed at the scenery. Snorkel in the glistening bays, get all vinyasa with the resident yoga instructor, pamper yourself silly at the boutique spa, hike to local waterfalls, gallop along on the white sand beaches, or feast on the spoils of the hotel’s own organic farm and the very finest Caribbean kingfish ceviche, giant prawns and Chateaubriand steak courtesy of your own around-the-clock butler.
