The same splendor is carried over into the meals in the gourmet restaurant Le Gaïac where Chef Stéphane Mazières skillfully enhances the flavors.

UNIQUE IN THE WORLD: the hotel location, built primarily on a rocky prominence thrust into the sea at St. Jean Beach and braced by twin crescents of sandy beach, facing a coral reef.

Located on a rocky promontory overlooking the coral reefs, between the white sands and crystal clear waters of Saint-Jean Bay, this group of villas stands on the foundations of the former property of the aviator Rémy de Haenen, the first to land a plane on the island back in the 1940s. Jane and David Matthews have created the contemporary and eclectic interiors of the themed suites: the new Rockstar, with recording studio and the new Nina, the “Fregate” with its private Jacuzzi, the Howard Hughes”… An ideal place for soaking up the sun of St Barths, lazing on the beach and exploring the dazzling undersea world

Activities:
soins esthetique, Fitness, fishing, sailing, water-skiing, diving, kayaking, snorkelling on own reef, drawing, painting
