Set on a private peninsula that juts out into the Caribbean, Le Guanahani boasts one of the most picturesque settings on St. Barths. The iconic resort, which has been closed since Hurricanes Irma and Maria tore through the Caribbean in 2017, will reopen in 2021 following a complete top-to-toe makeover as the newest member of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, joining the group’s 28 ultra-luxe hotels and resorts around the world.
Washington DC-based David M. Schwarz Architects is overseeing the transformation of Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, while Luis Pons Design Lab reimagines the interiors of the 66 guestrooms, suites and villas in keeping with the French Caribbean heritage of the island, with splashes of bright turquoise, yellow and lavender throughout.
New additions include a beachfront dining concept and a new swimming pool, plus signature Rosewood touches including Rosewood Explorers kids’ club and Sense, A Rosewood Spa. Flanked by two postcard-perfect beaches – Grand Cul-de-Sac to the east and Marigot Bay to the West – and set in 18 lush, palm-covered acres, Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth promises to become a quintessential Caribbean escape.
