Overview of Property
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 68 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 complimentary Kindergarten and Juniors’ Club, makes for the perfect family vacation spot.
For Spa aficionados, and any and all seeking a Safflower Fruit Salt Body Scrub or just a good old-fashioned Swedish massage, there is a full-service Spa by Clarins. It's as chic as the hotel with eight treatment rooms housed in thatched roof bungalows and a beautiful, quiet pool. Book the new Wellness Suite and you will have private access and the "run of the spa" after hours including the use of that divine pool. Staying at the Wellness Suite also includes one treatment per day, per person. It's all just too delicious!

St Barts offers today's savvy tourists 27 beautiful white sandy beaches, an average (heavenly) temperature of 28°C in winter and 30°C in summer, an incomparable quality of life, and a real sense of personal safety. For luxury shopping, St Barts is one step ahead, keeping time to the latest fashion trends from Europe in clothes, shoes, accessories, art or music. St Barts also has a well-developed service sector of professionals who can offer you the winning massage, yoga, personal fitness training, beauty and spa treatments, as well as private chefs, catering, event planning and more. To awaken your senses, performing art festivals (music, film, theater) punctuate island life every calendar year. The night owls will find in St. Barths a wide choice of bars, clubs and various venues for some sleepless nights. First, the many tasty restaurants are inimitable charm of your choice: some have a lounge bar open for drinks or after dinner, others come alive with the sound of local bands to satisfy visitors wanting enjoy the pleasures of late (K'Fé Massai in Lorient, Ti St Barth in Pointe Milou, the Bonito in Gustavia). Then there are the "night clubs" where you can drink, have fun and dance till dawn at the trendy music: the Yacht Club with its "Live Screen Concerts" Casa Nikki in Gustavia, Etc.. In short, an embarrassment of choice for some sleepless nights for an evening and watered. But in Saint Barth, parties with friends in villas are also well hidden of the best nights.
Hotel Details
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 the 6 in the Prestige category are serviced by a butler. Our favorite is the 2-bedroom Beach House, steps from the water 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 or a more casual dinner. Don’t forget to make reservations for at least one night at Bartholomeo, a gourmet restaurant that you will long remember.
