Chic Chateau is more than a beautiful bed and breakfast in a tropical paradise. It’s an eco-luxury property centered on sustainable living, organic gardening, and living in-step with the ruralHaitian community it’s a part of. This conscious approach is evidenced in the 100% solar powered set-up, the innovative permaculture gardening, fresh bread from the kitchen and locally-sourced treats on the breakfast table for our lovely guests. It all traces back to owner-operator Janet, and her unique philosophy and super green thumb.

This series of stories will give you insight into the Chic Chateau positive philosophy. They will share how it all began, and delve into the deeper purpose behind this special property’s design. You’ll get an idea of why so many dissimilar visitors from far off places feel like it’s their dream home. You'll better understand why once you're here, it's so hard to leave.

It's also pulling back the curtain on how one woman realized her lifelong dream. It explains the subtle purpose behind every farm to table meal, every upgrade and interaction she has with nature and the community. As with a visit to Chic Chateau itself, we hope you’ll leave inspired, and maybe even a little bit renewed.
