Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth

Long a favorite among the St. Barths luxury set, Rosewood Le Guanahani remains exceptional. Its setting, on its own peninsula in the island’s northwest, affords it an unusual degree of spacious privacy. And while its colorful cottages project a certain down-to-earth charm, the experience on offer is as luxurious as anything in the Caribbean. Some units come with private pools, some with outdoor showers; all benefit from the spa, the adults-only pool, and the proximity to the beach. And everything, from the service to the cuisine, is delivered with a French accent; Beach House St. Barth is the elegant yet relaxed restaurant, Bar Mélangé the surprisingly swanky cocktail spot.
