Green Vibes Only: Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa's Commitment to a Sustainable Caribbean

Conscious Design & Conservation at Your St Barts Luxury Caribbean Hotel

Our dedication to #GreenVibesOnly is evident in every detail at Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa. From our open-air, naturally derived architecture that minimizes energy consumption through solar power and natural light, to the use of organic and low-impact materials like local stone and wood, sustainability is woven into our very foundation. We source linens from ethically traced organic cotton, and over 60% of our in-room amenities come from environmentally friendly labels. Protecting the island's natural flora and fauna is paramount, ensuring all fertilizers, plants, and cleaning products are eco-friendly, and sunscreens sold on-site are reef-safe. Our desalination station ensures ecological water usage, while automatic lights and electric Mercedes vans further reduce our footprint. Even seemingly small choices, like using traceable organically grown cotton for our bedding, contribute to a larger impact, helping us reduce laundry water use by 20% since 2016.

This commitment extends to our culinary philosophy with a new zero-waste concept and workshops at Amis St. Barth. We've also expanded our partnership with Coral Restoration, offering interactive guided diving to help rehabilitate the surrounding reef, an initiative that began this April.

Making a Tangible Impact: Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa and Our Island Home

At Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa, our commitment to the environment goes far beyond our property. We actively participate in initiatives that make a tangible difference to St. Barth's natural beauty and ecosystems.

For three consecutive years, our Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa has proudly renewed its Earth Month initiative, partnering with the Agence Territoriale de l'Environnement de Saint-Barthélemy (ATE). 

Throughout April, a portion of every new reservation was dedicated to supporting the ATE's vital work. This sustained effort has resulted in over €10,060 contributed to various environmental protection and restoration projects on the island. This year, your stay is directly supporting the replanting of Fort Karl, an iconic local landmark. This cherished site will be revitalized exclusively with native species grown in a local nursery, ultimately creating a beautiful botanical trail for both residents and visitors to explore and appreciate the richness of our local flora. We are truly grateful that each guest's stay helps create such a meaningful, positive impact on our environment.

Furthermore, we're proud to take concrete action in our community. On Sunday, June 29th, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa will participate in the island-wide clean-up event organized by the Association of Hotels and Villas of St. Barth. Our team will be present at 7:30 am at the stunning Grand Cul-de-Sac bay, actively collecting litter to help preserve this exceptional natural paradise for today and for future generations.
