"Mentioned as a speakeasy-style cocktail spot inside an iconic hotel property—recommended as a must-visit for cocktails during a luxe island itinerary that also includes house rentals, beach parties, boat rentals, and fine dining." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Perched on one of St. Jean Bay’s rare swimming beaches, this storied 1950s property blends Hollywood-era glamour with contemporary luxury across 37 rooms, suites, and two recently overhauled villas. Accommodations exude personality with wood-paneled walls and colorful accents; culinary offerings are led by Jean-Georges Vongerichten (notable dishes include truffle-topped pizza and locally caught lobster at the ocean-facing Sand Bar), and a Krug partnership adds champagne tastings and a welcome bottle on arrival." - Laura Begley Bloom
"A legendary five‑star resort perched on Plage St. Jean that embodies the island’s perfect mix of elegant and easygoing "barefoot luxury." Originally built by intrepid explorer Rémy de Haenen in the 1950s, the property—now part of the Oetker Collection—underwent a two‑year renovation in 2019 and added new suites in 2021, occupying some of the most coveted real estate on the island. Service highlights include dedicated concierges who will happily (and somehow instantly) handle everything, seamless in‑room/in‑suite check‑in, and splurge‑worthy accommodations such as the Diamond Suite - Waterlily, whose patio plunge pool, hot tub, sea‑facing bed, spa‑like bathroom (dual sinks, rainfall shower, soaking tub), Dr. Barbara Sturm products, and an exclusive perfume spray created by Parisian perfumery Diptyque exemplify the attention to detail. Dining is anchored by the Sand Bar, with a menu conceptualized by chef Jean‑Georges Vongerichten; breakfast offers a curated buffet of housemade yogurt, fruit, and pastries plus a la carte options (the reviewer noted, "I could happily have started the day with fresh‑pressed juice and banana toast for a week straight"), beachfront lunch includes hamachi crudo in a zippy passion fruit sauce and frosé, and dinner blends lavish and local — the kitchen notably accommodated a dairy allergy by producing "a divine raw tuna creation topped with caviar" when the recommended caviar egg toast couldn’t be served, and family favorites like chicken fingers and fries and grilled mahi‑mahi with mashed potatoes proved popular with kids. The glamorous, toile‑covered Rémy Bar & Salon features master mixologists and signature tipples such as the Eden Colada (rum and Champagne). Amenities span a spa built into the rocks using Ligne St Barth body rituals and Dr. Barbara Sturm facials (Hydrafacials and medi‑spa treatments in partnership with Dr. Pierre‑Michel Havet), a large resort pool, a fully equipped gym, daily yoga on the deck atop the rock, and a chic boutique carrying Missoni kaftans, Zimmermann dresses, and Maison Michel hats. Family offerings include in‑suite welcome touches for children (stuffed whales, homemade Madeleines, apple juice, mini robes and slippers, coloring books and pencils, goggles and floaties, and Dr. Barbara Sturm kids' products), kid‑friendly menus and modifications, and the Eden Kids Program (ages 5+, art, pottery, meditation, yoga, swimming lessons, sandcastle building, and water sports). The property actively pursues sustainability and accessibility: it partners with Island Nature Experiences (INE) and the Territorial Environment Agency (ATE) on a coral reef restoration project that lets guests snorkel, participate in coral planting, or adopt a coral, and the initiative has helped more than 200 coral fragments grow significantly and boosted local fish populations; common areas, rooms, and suites (including an over‑the‑top six‑bedroom Villa Rockstar) are wheelchair accessible. Rates start at $1,400 plus a five‑percent local tax and include VIP perks such as a complimentary bottle of Krug Champagne on arrival (the hotel is the "first‑ever hotel to partner with the iconic bubbly brand") and Dr. Barbara Sturm skincare minis, with occasional promotional deals announced on the property’s website." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.
