"Located just minutes from St. Barts’s coveted Shell Beach, this intimate luxury haven offers stunning sea views and moments of respite for the whole family. Twenty-one suites scattered about a tranquil cliffside encourage guests to unwind on the expansive pool decks and private restaurant and beach club. Family-friendly accommodations include larger bungalows with separate bedrooms and a five-bedroom private villa with its own pool. Hop on a courtesy Le Carl Gustaf electric bike or head to the spa while the kids enjoy on-site activities like pastry classes, painting, and treasure hunts. Service here is impeccable, with a concierge team always willing to offer tips on exploring the island. Dine at Chef Riccardo Giraudi’s award-winning restaurant Beefbar, inspired by the cosmopolitan culture of Monte Carlo. Here, guests can indulge in a selection of international street food and inventive cocktails while overlooking the cerulean waters of the Caribbean." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
"Those who knew and loved Le Carl Gustaf the first time around will have even more reason to fall for it now that the Barriere group has taken over. The hotelier company—known for reviving particularly beloved but withering properties—has made sure to keep the spirit of Le Carl chic and easy. The raw wood and petite terraces still make it feel like the beach house of a fabulous French friend, yet the hotel’s reimagined approach to the environment gives it a 21st-century edge. Paris design firm Gilles and Boissier gussied up the 21 rooms with creams, stone, and linen, as well as a profusion of palms separating various spaces with a curtain of greenery. Suites have been reconfigured to catch sea breezes, providing natural air conditioning. And a fleet of electric bikes brings guests down the hill upon which the hotel stands like a lookout, over the town and coastline, to nearby Shell Beach, the perfect place for a picnic prepared by the hotel’s staff that feels, appropriately simple and chic—much like Le Carl itself." - CNT Editors

A fleet of electric bikes brings guests down the hill where the hotel stands like a lookout over the town and coastline to nearby Shell Beach.
