Sister resorts Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet, spread across 600 acres edged with stunning Caribbean coastline overlooking St. Lucia’s majestic twin Pitons, will host the annual Mango Madness Festival this July and August. Jade Mountain’s Emerald Farm is the home to an abundance of mango trees and for over a decade, the resort has celebrated the harvest with a mango festival on the property.
The festival encapsulates all things mango from its mixology experience, with the famous signature 25# Mango Mojitos, to the Night of 1000 Mangos Dinner which entails a five-course luxury dinner consisting of the sweet fruit. Mango-lovers can also enjoy interactive and educational classes such as harvesting tours or cooking classes, offering the opportunity to concoct anything from sticky mango jam to zesty mango chutney.
Those seeking ultimate relaxation can indulge in a relieving mango massage, revitalising body scrub or nourishing body wrap, pursue a leisurely meander through the Anse Mamin plantation tour or delight in some retail therapy choosing from an exotic array of candles, soaps and other mango-themed offerings at the resort’s boutiques.
