Eden Rock St Barths

Saint Barthélemy

Eden Rock St Barths

Conceived in 1953 by aviator and adventurer Remy de Haenen, this property was the island’s pioneer, welcoming the famously private Greta Garbo, who found the perfect haven in St Barths. Viewed from above, it looks like a village taking shape, with its red and white roofs. Spread across the rocky promontory and beachside, the 37 guest units look out either over the bay or the gardens to embody a distinctive Caribbean spirit. Throughout the residence, curated vignettes blend artefacts collected by world travellers with contemporary art, like David Hockney reproductions and Slim Aarons photographs. The common areas embrace this same eclectic style, creating a multifaceted atmosphere rich in antiques, pop-art accents, and island-inspired touches. The beach club below opens onto gem-toned waters, where divers might encounter sea turtles and tropical fish, while at the Sand Bar, French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten orchestrates a culinary performance of voluptuous flavours, evoking his homeland while drawing inspiration and ingredients from the local surroundings.

Accommodations

What we like

The Comfort

The Villa Rockstar, which belies its name, exuding absolute serenity.

The Moment

A Beach Bar that this time is genuinely well named, where you can let the Planter's Punch flow against an azure backdrop.

The Flavour

As an opener at the Sand Bar, an epicurean "black plate" bringing together crab, chicken, salmon, tuna, avocado and sweet potato.
