St. Barth’s Is Back—Here’s Where to Go | Vogue
"Villa Marie, a five-star luxury resort tucked away in the hills of Colombier above Flamands Bay, was just hitting its early stride when Irma hit, and while it suffered along with everybody else—an enormous tree shorn of its branches stands at the property’s center as a kind of testament and totem of remembrance—it suffered less. Beyond that stroke of good fortune, Nico Sibuet—the son of Jocelyne Sibuet of Maison & Hotels Sibuet—managed to be on the property before, during, and after the hurricane. And he made himself useful—not only in preparing for and weathering the storm, but in planning for repair and reconstruction needs before Irma even hit—and thus finding Villa Marie first in line when both materiel and labor were eventually ready to roll." - Corey Seymour
