StBarth

St. Barts is a wonderful small island, full of life and amazing people, fauna and flora, breathtaking views and a promising future. Taking care of it and helping it bloom is our passion and our responsibility, which we take very seriously. Whether as a patron or participant, we are deeply involved in the local life of the community.

The Caribbean, an enchanting jewel bathed by the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, unveils much more than just a sunny holiday destination. It embodies the crucible of a culture of incomparable richness, the result of the dynamic merging of indigenous, African, European, and Asian heritages. At the heart of this vibrant Caribbean life, music and dance set the rhythm for days and nights, carrying intoxicating sounds of zouk, reggae, calypso, and soca. Caribbean cuisine, a subtle blend of local spices and fresh ingredients such as exquisite fish, tropical fruits, and root vegetables, awakens the senses with emblematic dishes like smoked chicken, crispy cod fritters, and rice with black beans. Traditional craftsmanship, a reflection of the Caribbean soul, dazzles with its finesse, from delicate basketry to elaborate wood carvings, and shell jewelry.

Did you know that in St. Barth, in the heart of the charming bay of Corossol, traditional boats, known as "doris," and lobster traps still persist, waiting to be cast into the water? The weaving of straw, a tradition of local craftsmanship, is perpetuated in this village, where hats and other wickerwork accessories and decorations are also made from dried latan palm leaves. These same woven leaves have been reproduced at Le Barthélemy, adorning the walls of our magnificent suites.

We firmly believe that a greener, kinder, more human future is in store, as long as all of us put a little bit of effort into it. And at Le Barth, we have put in a lot of effort, working hand in hand with local associations and initiatives in order to protect our beautiful island.  Here’s how we’re working toward a better future right now.
