Explore St. Lucia's Culinary Culture With Nina Compton

"An intimate, eco-focused mountain lodge with about ten rooms and a communal vibe, perched on a slope with sweeping views of the sea and the twin Piton spires. Guests are welcomed with the island’s signature rum punch and small bites (spiced nuts, tamarind candy, and fried red snapper nuggets with remoulade and mango salsa), sleep in rooms that open to ocean vistas behind gossamer netting, and relax by an infinity pool that feels like the edge of the earth. On-site dining emphasizes fresh, local ingredients and sustainability—examples from the kitchen include pumpkin roasting, grilled mahi mahi and big-eye snapper, grilled conch marinated with ginger and sour orange and Baron’s hot sauce, pickled conch salad with green mango and flamboyant blossoms, and Creole bread baked by guests—reflecting a hands-on, farm-to-table approach." - Von Diaz
