St. Barts, made for the stay.

A small Caribbean island where the choice is between Flamands Beach, St Jean Bay and the quieter, wilder Toiny coast.

The island is compact, but its beaches have different moods. Flamands is broad and calm; St Jean is closer to the restaurants and boutiques; Toiny faces the Atlantic and feels further away. A hotel here shapes the whole trip, from the first swim to the evening table.

Our three addresses offer distinct versions of St. Barts. Cheval Blanc sits directly on Flamands Beach. Eden Rock occupies the promontory above St Jean Bay. Le Toiny is a collection of private pool suites over Toiny Bay. Choose the coast first, then the room.
