accommodations<br />

The MASTer BedrOOM<br />

Jade Mountain was made for rest and rejuvenation,<br />

and in keeping with this philosophy, technology is<br />

minimal (though guests can request telephone service<br />

and Wi-fi at the front desk). Instead, the focus<br />

is on the sweeping spaces, soothing and stylish<br />

décor, and the private infinity pool or Jacuzzi available<br />

in each room, depending on your choice of accommodations.<br />

Guests can rest easy in the master<br />

bedrooms’ plush, king-size canopy beds. All guest<br />

bathrooms provide a whirlpool “chroma-therapy”<br />

tub for two as well as state-of-the-art stainless<br />

steel shower units with handmade glass tile walls.<br />

decadent touches like Molton Brown toiletries and<br />

fine Frette towels and bathrobes add to the spa-like<br />

experience. The resort’s major domos, trained by<br />

the British Guild of Butlers, offer stellar service to<br />

all guests upon arrival, while an in-room electronic<br />

call button connects visitors to the front desk’s service<br />

team at all times.<br />

Chef Allan Susser is the mastermind behind<br />

“Jade Cuisine,” the resort’s moniker for their signature<br />

style of fare: A blend of bold flavors, tropical<br />

cultures and the utmost in fresh ingredients, many of<br />

which are culled from an onsite organic garden. From<br />

modern fusion cuisine to classic comforts like the<br />

“best burger in the Caribbean,” there’s something on<br />

the menu to please every palate. Meals are complemented<br />

by an extensive beverage menu, which includes<br />

freshly squeezed fruit juices and exotic elixirs,<br />

chic cocktails, and a strong selection of local and international<br />

wines, stored in a high-tech, temperaturecontrolled<br />

wine cellar. For a truly above-and-beyond<br />

culinary experience, guests can partake in one of the<br />

chef’s “A Spoonful of Paradise” classes, which include<br />

in-kitchen lessons as well as exclusive off-site field<br />

trips—such as a fishing excursion, spice tours and a<br />

hands-on chocolate making course.

spa<br />

Anyone can unwind with the help of Jade Mountain’s<br />

boutique spa, kai en Ciel. With innovative<br />

packages like “The ultimate ‘Forget the Outside<br />

World’ Treatment”—which lasts nearly two hours<br />

and includes a massage, face masque and reflexology<br />

treatment—the emphasis here is on banishing<br />

stress. From exotic therapies like a Chakra Balancing<br />

Massage to more traditional indulgences such<br />

as deluxe manicures and pedicures, there’s a spa<br />

ritual to sooth every body. Many treatments are designed<br />

to be enjoyed from the comfort and privacy<br />

of one’s own sanctuary, as desired.<br />

With its close proximity to two soft-sand beaches<br />

and a gorgeous off-shore stretch of coral reef, Jade<br />

resort, which includes such outdoor activities as a<br />

jungle biking center, scuba center with a full diving<br />

program, tennis, ocean kayaking and other watersports,<br />

and sailing on the resort’s yacht. A whole<br />

host of on-site weekly activities, complimentary for<br />

all guests, heighten enjoyment of the resort and all<br />

it has to offer. Start off a balanced day with one of<br />

the resort’s group yoga sessions, which take place<br />

six days a week from 7:00 to 8:00am on the Celestial<br />

terrace, an outdoor space with 360° scenic views.<br />

Monday evenings offer an elegant wine and canapé<br />

reception from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, while foodies will<br />

appreciate a Tuesday night cooking class with the<br />

resort’s own Chef Jonathan. On Mondays, Thursdays<br />
