10 Best Hotels in St. Barts | Condé Nast Traveler

"Back on the northeast coast after a full post-Irma refit, this intimate icon (39 suites and three villas) returns with a fresh aesthetic, a new spa, and a revamped signature restaurant while honoring its 1972, Christian Liaigre-steered, pared-back spirit. White-on-white rooms use sustainable wood and natural stone—teak shutters, polished limestone, hand-woven stools, floaty linen—to deliver refined coastal chic whose muted tones counter the zingy Caribbean outside. Set on a secluded cove where every room faces the palm-lined beach, it lulls you to sleep with exquisite bedding and the waves’ rhythm; the expanded Valmont spa includes the island’s only beachfront pavilion, while chef Davide Mosca’s open-air Al Mare comes alive at aperitivo as the sun sets over Grand Cul-de-Sac before plates of Linguine alle Vongole are eaten with toes in the sand." - Angelina Villa-Clarke
