Hillside Haven

Picture 9 Recognize the vista above? It's Jade Mountain, the backdrop for last week's Bachelor finale. Fortunately, you can go there on your own without the cheesy 'reality' (cough cough) show entourage. Despite its now infamous tie to prime time television, the St. Lucia resort looks like a sensational place to visit.

Here's the more official rundown:

Jade Mountain is carved from a steep hill with unimpeded views of the iconic twin Pitons of St. Lucia. Rock formations thrust into the sky like abstract sculptures, while tiny traditional fishing villages buzz with subdued energy. It's a secluded place to Zen and zone out, whether at the spa or in one of the individually designed suites that architect/owner Nick Troubetzkoy dubs “sanctuaries.” Guests come to Jade Mountain for a romantic escape — or to destress in a place that feels like another world.

Why am I sharing this with you? Jetsetter.com is offering us the opportunity to live like kings and queens at this pampering retreat - at a fraction of the normal cost. Check out the site for more details!

What the beautiful people are saying...

Um, take me there now...what a view!! :)

would you look at that view?! wow.

um. can i please go here now?

dying for a beachy vaca..need to plan a trip there now!!

I stayed here with my husband two years ago when they were first open. There was a special package on Luxury Link. It is every bit as gorgeous as it looks. I can't imagine we will ever stay anywhere as beautiful again! Paradise.

Oh my god, I swiped those photos to blog about last week from Jetsetter and never got around to it, but I thought to myself, "those mts. look like the ones on The Bachelor!" Too funny!

Something to say, gorgeous?
