Mix Glamour with charm at this perfect fusion in the Caribbean
A small, charming and privately owned hotel sits on one of the prettiest beaches in St Barts – the Baie des Flamands – and with its pure white sand and pale turquoise clear sea, it is picture-postcard perfect.
And while there are many attractions on the island – such as clubs, bars, cafes, terrific restaurants and boutiques to die for – it is very difficult to tear yourself away from this example of easy luxury. Here, nothing is too much trouble. Think Gallic style with Caribbean insouciance – whether you need a Daiquiri or Citron Presse, it will appear with a smile and a touch of grace.
This is the perfect place to do as little as possible – swim or float, take in some sun or sit in the shade with a book or three, and when it’s time for lunch or dinner, the freshest ingredients are prepared and served. Breakfast is ready when you are and sundowners are available long before the sun goes down.
Whether you stay on the beach or in one of the pretty garden suites or cottages you will enjoy perfect privacy. Should you want to indulge, there is a Molton Brown spa with a plethora of treatments, and a boutique which will melt you credit card within seconds, so desirable is the merchandise.
To book, contact the bespoke travel service Mason Rose Private who will ensure your every need is taken care of. Telephone on 020 7201 8071 or e-mail enquires@masonroseprivate.com or visit Mason Rose Private,
