"In St Barts, this property incorporates a trio of Nordic baths made from red cedar wood, inspired by Viking-style contrast therapy, so guests can experience hot-cold rituals in a Caribbean setting that merges island luxury with Nordic wellness concepts." - CNT Editors
"More idyllic than most, this intimate 44-room-and-suite retreat sits on the crescent of talcum-soft sand at Grand Cul de Sac, with impeccably designed, impossibly elegant interiors that channel a high-end French aesthetic—sharp lines softened by cream linen sofas, crafted tables, and hand-crafted ceramics. Some suites have private pools, others delicious outdoor showers, and from every corner there’s a glimpse of turquoise sea, plus a cinematic infinity pool and breezy al-fresco Amis St Barts led by Michelin-recognized chef Jéremy Czaplicki; the ceiling sculpture of handblown glass fish echoes the ocean’s colors and almost steals attention from an inventive menu of coconut-crusted eggplant, crab bisque with banana coulis, and yellowfin tuna with marinated watermelon. At Le Spa at Le Barthélemy, La Mer facials and body treatments set an oceanic tone, while the rooftop Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot bar (WTF) pours Flamingo cocktails to chill-out tunes at sundown. As a Small Luxury Hotels of the World member, the property also leans into sustainability with coral restoration and zero-waste cooking classes." - Angelina Villa-Clarke
"Located in the secluded but still convenient Grand Cul‑de‑Sac neighborhood, this hotel is positioned as a jumping‑off point for both beach lounging and active excursions: guests can explore the area by Jet Ski or snorkel around the calm, clear waters (keep a lookout for sea turtles)." - 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.

"A breezy, refined beachfront property on Grand Cul-de-Sac that caters to families with pool noodles, alligator floats, and a very shallow, clear sea perfect for kids to run between water and shore. On land there are table soccer and pétanque, plenty of connecting rooms and multi-bedroom villas for larger families, and child-oriented touches like tiny slippers, themed toiletries, and plush turtles." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.

"A relatively new addition to St. Barts' luxury hotel scene, Le Barthélemy is a sophisticated winner that keeps with the island's low-rise sensibility. Set between a lagoon and Grand Cul-de-Sac beach along the island's northeastern shore, the hotel is an education in understated elegance. Rooms are spare and enormous, with lots of wood and one or two pops of bright color—some even have small, rectangular plunge pools for mini-laps. The food at Amis St. Barth is unabashedly modern French, with attention paid to proper portions in the tropics: in other words, not too much. Water sports enthusiasts have an expanse of calm shallow waters for kayaking, kite-surfing, and snorkeling—a flotilla of a dozen sea turtles that survived the storms of 2017 remain in residence and are easily visible." - CNT Editors
