Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa

Restore your soul in this captivating sanctuary, which sits along one of the most striking beaches of St Barths, the Grand Cul de Sac. Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa captures the laid-back spirit of island life and blends this seamlessly with Parisian chic.

The rooms and suites are effortlessly stylish, with light-filled interiors that reflect the sea and the natural beauty of their spectacular setting. They epitomise Caribbean serenity and come with hi-tech facilities such as Bang & Olufsen sound systems, in-room amenities by Hermes and private terraces with gorgeous views over the gardens, the lake or the ocean. Each lavish bathroom contains a walk-in rainfall shower.

For even more indulgence, choose one of the villas, which offer yet another level of luxury and privacy, including private 55-foot lap pools with daybeds. You'll also be spoilt with a wine cellar, an ice maker and Sonos surround sound systems.

The sophisticated Aux Amis restaurant serves up delicious island-inspired French cuisine, and its dishes are meticulously prepared. For a more relaxing dining experience, eat with your toes in the sand at the beachfront Aux Amis Plage restaurant, which allows the flavours to be bought to the beach.

Drink options range from expertly-brewed coffee from the Coffee Corner to irresistible craft cocktails at Le Bar, which you can sip while taking in the gorgeous views of the bay. In the evening, head to the rooftop bar for great cocktails and panoramic sunsets - plus DJs and live music. 

Visit the open-air spa for a decadent La Mer facial, relax with a yoga class, and don’t miss the sauna, the vitality pools, and the soothing eucalyptus hammam. Alternatively, energise yourself at the state-of-the-art fitness centre.

St Barths is home to a beautiful marine reserve, and with the Caribbean Sea on your doorstep, discover the colourful underwater world and go scuba diving or windsurfing.

For those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, head out on a bespoke adventure in a Mini Moke, the island’s signature car, taking a picnic basket filled with roast chicken and rosé. For shopping and browsing, Gustavia offers copious art galleries and chic boutiques: whether you are looking for artisan handicrafts, island jewellery or sophisticated fabrics, you will find perfect local souvenirs not far from the hotel.
