Cheval Blanc St Barth Isle de France | Saint Barthélemy (French West Indies)

Baie des Flamands, St. Barthélemy
Five-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Cheval Blanc St Barth is the definitive choice for those seeking LVMH-standard 'barefoot elegance' and the most exclusive stretch of sand on the island. While brand loyalists will adore the impeccable Guerlain rituals and Jacques Grange design, value-conscious travelers may find the entry-level garden accommodations underwhelming for the investment. The signature experience worth the flight is the sunrise hike from the property to Colombier Beach, followed by a long, champagne-soaked lunch at La Cabane.
