CALL TO BOOK YOUR TRIP
Do you miss the vacations you used to take back in the day? You know the ones: Where you felt so in tune with your natural surroundings you chose a colorful sunrise or sunset over the TV and when you actually turned off the A/C at night and let the balmy breezes blow over your skin.
Caribbean connoisseurs recognize that feeling as “classic.” You can now recapture that magic at this coastal resort estate in St. Lucia, under the shadows of the verdant peaks of the mighty Pitons, rising from the sea. This resort was designed by world-renowned architect Nick Troubetzkoy.
There are more than 600 acres of tropical playground acreage here, including two sandy beaches on two bays that comprise Anse Chastanet. The waters are in protected marine reserves, where tropical fish of every hue and stripe freely frolic, which you can spend your dive days admiring.Your accommodations are in spacious cottages with wraparound balconies and panoramic views, nestled in a palm-laden grove. If you want a little larger spread, deluxe and premium suites are available.
And at Anse Chastanet, you can choose an active vacation of diving, snorkeling, tennis, sailing, kayaking or hiking -- or a pampered one, where you can enjoy the latest massage therapies at the estate’s spa, Kai Belte. If romance is on the agenda, look no further than two tree-houses on site, where you and your special someone can enjoy dinner by candlelight, with local musicians providing the sweet soundtrack.
No matter what kind of vacation you have in mind, you can’t go wrong at Anse Chastanet.

All dives offered by Scuba St Lucia are guided by an instructor or dive master to maximize diver safety and enjoyment. The marine reserve policy is to "look but don't touch". Even empty shells should be left on the sea bed, and great care taken not to touch or kick the corals so hopefully the reef can be preserved for future generations of divers to enjoy.
The Anse Chastanet reef starts just 10 yards beyond the water's edge. The reef's remarkable ecosystem offers an amazing profusion of unusual tropical marine life, in 20 to 140 feet of calm, clear water. Anse Chastanet Reef which is home to more than 150 different species of fish makes for an amazing dive day or night. In the shallow areas be sure to keep your eyes open for peacock flounders, octopus, needle fish and turtles. Or drop down a little deeper over dense coral growth to see puffers, moray eels, parrot fish, lobsters and even sea horses. A unique dive site for all abilities and especially good for macro photography.
The shore dive is a required "first" dive for dive guests. It allows divers to feel ensured that all equipment is functioning properly, that their buoyancy skills are adequate for entering the marine reserve and to provide an orientation to the type of diving for which St Lucia is known. This reef is a favorite of most professional underwater photographers and videographers who visit Anse Chastanet.
The boat dives should also not be missed - dramatic walls beneath the majestic Piton Mountains, Superman's flight, a drift dive in the shadow of the Petit Piton, Coral Gardens and Jalousie under the Gros Piton, Piton Wall, the wreck of the "Lesleen M", Anse La Raye and Anse Cochon. Closer to home for the afternoon boat trips but no less spectacular sites, the diver can explore Fairyland, Turtle Reef, Grand Caille, Trou Diable, the Pinnacles and much more...
Night dives are offered at least twice weekly on Anse Chastanet's Reef, which really "wakes up" at night, with many interesting crustaceans on the move, large basket stars, sleeping parrot fish, octopus and squid, bioluminescence and the "THING".
