Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Look at the price ladder first – on this island it has a step you rarely see so clearly.
The Hotel Manapany St. Barth starts at 750 €. The next property, the Le Barthelemy St. Barth, starts at 1,691 € – more than double, around 940 euros higher. After that the rates close up again: the Cheval Blanc St. Barth at 1,998 € and the Le Sereno St. Barth at 2,258 €. Only around 570 euros separate these three.
So the first decision is not between four hotels but between two price worlds.
At the Manapany, the view then decides. The hotel splits its nine categories into exact thirds: three garden, three sea, three beach. Seven of the nine are suites. Name the view, and the choice shrinks to three.
At the other three, the building form decides. The Le Sereno St. Barth has eight categories between 33 and 325 square metres, three of them with a private pool. The Cheval Blanc St. Barth has 17, from 60 square metres, among them suites, bungalows and villas. The Le Barthelemy St. Barth has 18 and stays the most compact at no more than 142 square metres.
Our advice: tell us your budget per night first, then the view or the size. On this island that leads to one property in two steps.
Where to stay on St. Barth: by occasion rather than by district
St. Barth hardly has districts in the usual sense – people find their way by the bays. We therefore sort the four properties by occasion.
