Hotel Le Toiny
Surreal view overlooking a cliff, exquisite cuisine, and beautifully crafted wine card.
Hotel Le Toiny is romantically situated on the beachfront, on the island’s more quiet and private side. From its spot, you can overlook one of St. Bart’s best surf locations, and excellent beaches to swim in are only a short drive away.

Christopher St Barth
The pool is gorgeous and the entire property has amazing sunset views.
In comparison to the other high-end hotels of St. Barth is ‘Christopher St Barth’ more down-to-earth and in a quieter part of the island. That doesn’t mean it’s not posh, but it has an unpretentious and welcoming atmosphere to it.

Hotel Manapany
The location is perfect. An almost private beach, I just wish the beach was more swimmable (I wasn’t aware of windward side of island).

Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa
I stayed in a beautifully clean and spacious room facing their well known infinity pool. Also, couldn’t get enough of their XL shower and the smart mosquito net to enjoy a bug-free nightcap!
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa is a stunning property with private beach and water sports facilities, set in the Nature Reserve of St. Baths.
Show full descriptionThe hotel:

- on-site restaurant with French cuisine

Good to know:
If you’re looking for privacy, skip the ground-level ocean suites. Their private garden and terraces might be at a convenient distance to the beach and pool, but it makes them not really private.

Le Sereno
There is free water sport equipment available: SUP, kayaks and snorkel gear. It wasn’t windy when we were there, so we didn’t try the kite surfing, but saw lots of sea turtles when doing SUP.
Le Sereno is a piece of present-day France right there in the middle of the tropical paradise St. Barth.
