Cheval Blanc St-Barth – Hotel Review

A true luxury experience in Saint Barthélemy, Cheval Blanc St-Barth is a step above the rest. IF you could dream up the most elevated Caribbean beach resort, Cheval Blanc St-Barth is it. With a location that balances serene escape with convenience, and a beach that is wanderlust-worthy. The design of the rooms are universally appealing and the atmosphere of the hotel exudes the luxurious vibe that is what people think of when imagining St Barths.

What We Love

What stood out the most was the intentionality of their room product, thoughtfully designed by French designer Jacques Grange. The rooms were designed to show an eclectic mix of art and materials from all over the world. Pieces from Morocco, Spain and France fill each space with the purpose of transporting you back to past travels … or inspiring future ones.

Teak is everywhere in St Barth’s, but most especially throughout the Cheval Blanc’s grounds. The very clean, sophisticated universal appeal of beautifully maintained teak is carried out throughout the entire resort. Details like this make this resort a step above the rest, you truly feel how cared for the resort is, and in turn how they approach caring for their guests as well.

“This place is next level in terms of luxury hotel eye candy. I just kept staring at the teak they had everywhere. It was maintained to perfection yet exposed to the elements. It was out of a book, movie, or dream.”

Why You Should Book

Cheval Blanc St-Barth is a true luxury experience, with ample space on property, and a fantastic choice for any stylish client. It has a glitzy, traditional Parisian luxury vibe. Located directly on Flamands Beach it boasts beautiful views from all around. It has a more remote feel than Eden Rock, but not quite so tucked away as Le Toiny, making this property a fantastic choice for the traveler who wants to be close to the “scene” but not totally immersed in it.
