Rosewood Le Guanahani St Barth

"Sprawled along an 18-acre peninsula overlooking Marigot Bay on the so-called ‘other side’ of the island, the recently reopened Rosewood Le Guanahani is a wonderfully secluded slice of St Barth's. Cottages are discreet with private entrances, while many of the suites have private pools. All are enveloped by lazily drooping palm trees and other local fauna, with an endless breeze wafting across the beachside infinity pool and into Beach House St. Barth, a relaxed restaurant where Caribbean flavours are given a Mediterranean twist. This is still the best hotel on the island for watersports, from stand-up paddleboarding to deep-sea fishing and kitesurfing (especially from December to June during the alizé wind). —L.A."

"After renovations following 2017’s Hurricane Irma, the iconic Le Guanahani returned with a new name—Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth—and new levels of luxury. The hotel is framed by a pretty lagoon and two beaches: Maréchal Bay (a sandy stretch) and Grand Cul de Sac (known for snorkeling and spotting sea turtles)." - Jennifer Flowers

"Following four years of extensive renovations, this all-time island favorite on St Barths reopened in 2021 under the Rosewood banner. While its charming clapboard cottages, spa and restaurants have been given a makeover, the vibe remains the same: it’s still wonderfully laid-back."

"Travelers can expect a slew of family-friendly amenities — including two pools, placid beaches, snorkeling, the Rosewood Explorers club for kids ages four to 11, babysitting services, and a world-class spa — in a plush, private setting." - Travel + Leisure Editors
