Christopher St Barth

One of St. Barth’s original grande dame hotels, the Christopher enjoys ongoing luxurious enhancements in keeping with its 5 star status. Set on a promontory in exclusive Pointe Milou, the sound of the surf provides the perfect score for breathtaking panoramic sea views. Guests, settled in poolside on the comfy lounges, gaze out at the neighboring islands and look as pleased as well, Ti Punch.

The ginormous pool is infinity-edged and meanders along the waterfront, appearing to merge with the sea. It boasts a center island complete with palm trees—a primo spot to see and be seen while sunbathing. A wealth of accommodation choices includes 42 rooms and suites and three villas. Poolside units are adjacent to lush tropical gardens, and we love the Deluxe Ocean View rooms with their gorgeous vistas of the sea. So romantic.

Steps from the hotel, the three identical, contemporary—and stunning— 4 bedroom villas arc above the dramatic rocky coastline. Bi-level, each has a kitchen, an open-air living room, a media room, a private pool, and designated parking. All the bedrooms (two main-level and two downstairs) have en suite baths with combinations of king beds, and convertible twins – extra beds for children are available on request.  These villas are ideal for extended families or groups of friends, providing an extra measure of privacy and access to all the hotel’s amenities and services, e.g., 24-hour room service. Daily breakfast is included and can be taken in-villa or at the restaurant.

Under the direction of French 2 Michelin Star chef Arnaud Fay, Christopher’s seaside restaurant, RIVYERA fuses the South of France’s sophisticated ambiance and gourmet cuisine with St. Barth’s Caribbean charm. RIVYERA is open for breakfast and dinner. A delightful toes-in-the-sand lunch experience is offered “across the way” at the RIVYERA PLAGE. Cocktails are shaken and chilled rosé poured at the poolside.The Christopher experience is enhanced by its on-site Spa Sisley. Tucked in a private nook but facing the ocean, it offers a decadent menu of services, and guests have the option of open-air cabana-style treatment rooms. This space includes a hairstyling salon and an adjacent gym with a view.
