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.

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 />
