Small but perfectly formed, the Caribbean island of St Barths is the quintessential jet-set playground. Each year, superyachts jostle for space in the elegant Port de Gustavia and rows of private jets line up on the tarmac at the island’s tiny airport, while their owners indulge in the gilded lifestyle synonymous with this Caribbean gem.
Among the island’s fabulous collection of luxury hotels, few are more loved than Eden Rock - St Barths and its legendary Beach Club, whose iconic red and white striped sunbeds are among the hottest tickets on the island. While the legendary hotel remains closed until October, the Beach Club will continue to welcome guests throughout the summer, offering well-heeled visitors a perfect spot to see and be seen over chilled rosé and leisurely lunches.
But where to stay? Eden Rock Villa Rental has curated a selection of some 140 gorgeous villas scattered across the island, with properties divided into Deluxe, Prestige and Ultraluxe to cater to every budget. Guests are met at the airport and chauffeur-driven to their villa where the full selection of Eden Rock hotel services are available on demand via a dedicated concierge service, from in-villa spa treatments and beach picnics to private parties and yacht trips.
Guests staying in Ultraluxe villas are waited on by a personal butler and villa chef, who can arrange for a bespoke bar selection and wine list to be ready on arrival and make sure the fridge is stocked with fresh groceries and anything else guests desire. An Eden Rock beauty pouch with Ligne St Barth bathroom products and other welcome amenities will greet guests, and there’s complimentary access to Eden Rock Beach Club and reserved sun loungers with lunch reservations.
