Opened at the end of October 2008, Cap Maison is set on a stunning four-acre, cliff-top parcel of land just minutes north of popular Rodney Bay, and features 50 artfully appointed suites and guest rooms. The property has been selected by Condé Nast Traveler as a "Hot List" Hotel in 2009, and has also become a Virtuoso Hotel in 2009 as well as a member of the Preferred Boutique Hotels group, adding to St. Lucia's unprecedented growth in luxury developments over the years. Other stand-out features include The Cliff at Cap, the resort's signature restaurant with breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Executive Chef Craig Joes serves a French West Indian-inspired contemporary menu based on fresh local products and seafood. The resort also features a 2,000 square foot intimate and serene spa with an adjacent garden that provides herbs for signature indigenous treatments, as well as a private 46-foot luxury yacht available for evening voyages, wedding parties, special events and day or overnight excursions to any of the nearby Windward Islands.
