Spilling onto St-Jean's powder-white beach from a craggy bluff, this legendary luxury hotel has bedded the moneyed and famous since the 1950s and just underwent a complete post-Irma-drubbing revamp. As befits such a posh spot, even the most 'basic' of the 37 seaview suites and villas dazzle with style and mod-cons, including Nespresso machines and Ligne St Barth toiletries.
There's no communal swimming pool, but some units come with private pool, including the ultraluxe 'Villa Rockstar', which also has a recording studio complete with the 1970s mixing console John Lennon used when recording 'Imagine'.
Eco-focused initiatives include solar power, rainfall collection and electric vehicles.
Minimum stay of five days required on most dates.
