Cheval Blanc St. Barth Isle De France

The French West Indies island of Saint Barthélemy suffers no shortage of high-end hotels and resorts, but Cheval Blanc St. Barth Isle De France is the only one classified by the French hospitality authorities as a certified palace hotel. In concrete terms this simply means that while you marvel at the astonishingly high standards of its service and facilities, you won’t be left wondering if there still might be a more luxurious alternative on the island.

It’s no wonder — the Cheval Blanc hotels are owned by the French luxury megabrand LVMH. But there’s nothing particularly corporate about it — the rooms, suites, bungalows, and villas feel effortlessly stylish and thoughtfully designed, and vary subtly in their layouts and décor. Some are set right on the beach, others amid lush gardens or climbing the hillsides. And all of them, at every level, maintain an impressive degree of privacy.

Wellness is naturally a particular focus — in addition to the beach club and pool deck you’ll find a yoga studio, an impressive gym and training program, and a spa by Guerlain. And among the Cheval Blanc’s restaurants and bars are the seaside La Cabane, with a direct view of Flamands Bay, and the high-end (though still laid-back) La Case by Jean Imbert.
