Jade Mountain at Anse Chastanet, St Lucia, Caribbean

Talk about a room with a view - each "sanctuary" at Jade Mountain at Anse Chastanet has its entire fourth wall completely open to the outdoors, overlooking a pair of peaks knifing the sky and comes with a massive infinity pool whose reflections merge with those of the Caribbean Sea below.

Each is uniquely designed, but at the core of their construction is the goal of harmonizing visual elements of near and far. The peaks of the Pitons tearing through the clouds by the horizon will, from your bed, seem close enough to touch.

Travaasa Hana, Maui, Hawaii

On the quieter side of Maui, visitors will find the peaceful retreat of Travaasa Hana, where true Hawaiian heritage waits to be discovered. One of the last unspoilt parts of Hawaii. Travaasa Hana, located at the end of the famed "Highway to Hana," is well worth the trip.

Rooms at the Travaasa Hana are designed in traditional but luxurious Hawaiian style, with hardwood floors, indigenous art, and bamboo mats. Sea Ranch and Bay Cottages have private gardens, hot tubs, or ocean views. Best of all, there are no TVs or radios to interfere with the sounds of the surf... Bliss!
