The St. Lucia Resorts of The Bachelor Season Finale

Hip and luxurious design on the final episode of The Bachelor.

Tonight, the lush West Indies island of St. Lucia will be thrust into the limelight -- several local resorts are hosting dates and romantic rendezvous -- and who are we kidding, catfights! -- on the final episode of this season's The Bachelor.

Tonight, on the two-hour season finale of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love, Jake Pavelka makes a decision between Vienna and Tenley -- and we've got the sneak peek at the very spots where he'll send one of them packing and the other into wedded bliss.


Instead of a cliff-side setting like last season's finale when Jason Mesnick chose Melissa Rycroft (later dumping her on television and asking Molly Malaney to be his wife); the final ceremony will take place on the rooftop at Jade Mountain.

Taking their cue from the tropical setting, the dining rooms, romantic look-outs and rooms are all stunning examples of design. (On February 15, St. Lucia's Cap Maison resort hosted the rose ceremony where Jake handed out the final two roses.)

For the season finale, an ABC stylist totally transformed the rooftop (the resort's Celestial Terrace) into a floral garden–which will be unveiled tonight.

Until the big reveal tonight, here's a look at the rest of Jade Mountain. Architect Nick Troubetzkoy strove for organic architecture -- and got it. Built into the hillside, views of the Piton Mountains (a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the island's pride and joy) are accessible from most of the property.

Each of the 29 rooms has its own, very private infinity pool with three walls are built around the pool, with the open wall facing out onto the water.



At Club, the resort's restaurant with James Beard Award-winning chef Allen Susser at the helm, diners are seated around an infinity pool that has a kaleidoscope of colors that glitter and sparkle under the Caribbean sun.

Anse Chastanet, a 600-acre retreat with two beaches and also on the island's quiet Southwestern coast, is a sister property. it was also designed by Troubetzkoy. Tonight we'll see Jake and Vienna, exhausted from a day exploring the Sulphur Springs (the Caribbean's only drive-in volcano: How cool is that?), check into a suite for a chill evening.

A chic plaid motif, which is quite modern and a departure from the forced tropical décor hotels often turn to, decorates the rooms. All furnishings were constructed from island woods (such as teak, mahogany and wild breadfruit) and by the local population.

Finally, The Jalousie Plantation will host Jake's last-chance date with Tenley, where they will check into their new luxury villa after spending the day sailing on a motor yacht. Set in a 100-acre patch of tropical rainforest, guests are treated to butler service, private plunge pools and four-poster beds.

Who will Jake choose? We'll have to wait until tonight to find out, but in the meantime, we'll be daydreaming of these St. Lucia locations.
