Cheval Blanc St-Barthélemy is not simply a stay. It’s a state of mind. Set on the powder-soft sands of Baie des Flamands, this intimate Caribbean retreat delivers the rare combination of effortless glamour, French savoir-faire, and barefoot ease. With just a limited number of rooms, suites, and villas, the experience feels deeply personal, designed for travelers who value discretion as much as beauty. Every detail—design, service, cuisine—reflects Cheval Blanc’s signature philosophy: quiet excellence without excess.

Interiors are crisp, coastal, and polished, blending Caribbean lightness with Parisian refinement. Private terraces spill toward the sea, villas come with dedicated hosts, and days unfold at your own rhythm—sun-drenched mornings, languid afternoons by the water, and evenings that feel intimate rather than performative. This is St. Barths at its most elevated, without ever trying too hard.

Designed by Christian Lacroix, this unique 3 star establishment in the 1st arrondissement on the same block as Hotel Costes is a unique find in an exceptional location bringing the best of Paris to your doorstep.

A flawless and intimate gem, Le Sereno in St. Barths boasts a private beachfront location perfect for water enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, kite surfing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding in the crystal-clear waters of Grand Cul-de-Sac. This idyllic retreat combines elegance and adventure, offering a truly unforgettable Caribbean experience.

A tropical chic boutique hotel with boundless charm adorned in the West Indies architectural style overlooking the spectacular Flamands Beach, in the hills above Colombier. You will feel at home surrounded by tropical decor with a fresh, playful, Bohemian comfort.
