‘Climb to Unwind’ Hiking Spa Package in St Lucia

Dreaming of happier times when we can travel once more?  Jade Mountain, St Lucia, has announced a ‘Climb to Unwind’ hike-and-spa package for adventurous guests. The package combines a challenging Piton climb and mountaintop meditation with a range of relaxing post-hike spa and wellbeing treatments.

Climbing is often cited as an exhilarating way to practise mindfulness; it requires complete concentration and focus on the task at hand. One of the island’s most iconic and scenic nature trails, the climb will allow guests to completely switch off from the stresses and anxieties of everyday life, before enjoying a blissful spa session back at the resort.

The ‘Climb to Unwind’ package

The ‘Climb to Unwind’ package follows the recent launch of Jade Mountain’s ‘Hiking Butler’ and will see guests reach the summit of the island’s Gros Piton, ideal for advanced hikers looking for the ultimate physical challenge. A world-heritage site, guests will enjoy spectacular 360-degree views from the twin mountains that form the trademark landscape of St Lucia.

Jade Mountain’s resident Hiking Butler will be on hand to help lion-hearted hikers through the challenging climb, safely guiding them through the best possible route whilst sharing fascinating knowledge about the island.

At the top of the summit, guests will be offered a gourmet champagne picnic prepared by the hiking concierge, and can find a state of zen with mindful mountain-top meditation, all of which can be enjoyed against the mesmerizing backdrop of St Lucia from above.

Back on the ground, an array of well-deserved spa treatments will allow hikers to unwind and recharge after their testing climb. A post-trek full-body ‘Climber’s Massage’ will soothe tired and aching muscles, whilst a private yoga session on the resort’s beautiful Celestial Terrace at dusk will help stretch out weary legs and feet and lead guests to ultimate relaxation.

Guests staying at the iconic Jade Mountain will enjoy one of 29 open-air sanctuaries, complete with its own private infinity pool or Jacuzzi and stunning views of the celebrated World Heritage Pitons.

Jade Mountain’s ‘Climb to Unwind’ package starts from $390 (£285*) per person and includes the Gros Piton Climb, Hiking Butler service and summit picnic. Guests can book the yoga, meditation and climber’s massage add-ons upon arrival.  www.jademountain.com.*Prices in pound sterling accurate according to today’s exchange rate.
