Nestled in a very private peninsula the Hotel Guanahani & Spa is St. Barth’s largest hotel and the island’s only full service resort. It’s a gorgeous (think hibiscus, bougainvillea and a coconut grove) 16 acre retreat. But lest you think it is too big – au contraire – there are just 70 rooms and suites housed in charming, brightly colored cottages that trail down to the two beaches. Yes, two – the ocean side Marigot and the reef-protected Grand Cul de Sac. And two pools and a Jacuzzi big enough for the whole family. The Guanahani with its resort’s-worth of water sports and activities, its Kindergarten and Juniors’ Club, makes for the perfect family vacation spot.

But then the Hotel Guanahani would be perfect for just about anyone, elegant, intimate and languorous; it’s an ideal romantic getaway. Spa aficionados should note the addition of full-service Spa by Clarins; barefoot-chic like the hotel… 8 treatment rooms… thatched roof bungalows and a beautiful, quiet pool. Serenity.

The range of accommodations at this 4-Star Luxe property includes 38 Double Rooms, 2 Superior category, Garden View/interconnecting; 30 suites, 14 with private swimming pool and a 3 bedroom Ocean Pool Suite. The suites here at the Guanahani offer the ultimate in privacy, and our favorite is the 2-bedroom Beach House located directly on the beach with its own private garden. All suites are housed in Creole style cottages and surrounded by lush tropical foliage. The colonial décor - rare woods, pastel colors and whirling ceiling fans take you back to another time. And it’s all in keeping with consummate service level offered by the gracious staff.

Dining options include the poolside L’Indigo – they serve a fabulous buffet breakfast there each morning and it’s a fun spot for lunch. Don’t forget to make reservations for at least one night at Bartholomeo, a gourmet restaurant that you will long remember.

Couples and all those who want the amenities of a full-service resort. This is a great choice for families.
