Set within the spectacular St Jean Bay, Eden Rock St Barths has been the go-to resort for one-of-a-kind hospitality ever since French-Caribbean aviator and adventurer Rémy de Haenen first welcomed guests to his home during the 1950s. A discreet favourite among Hollywood icons and in-the-know travellers alike, the hotel is now part of the Oetker Collection, pairing laid-back island living with polished hospitality through art-filled interiors, individually designed villas and a reef-fringed beach club – just moments from the boutiques and restaurants of St Jean village.

If the Sand Bar doesn't just exude that holiday ambience to you then we're not sure what will. Effortlessly laid back, with the relaxed beach bar beats, this is the spot to come to for an easy lunch, a fabulous cocktail, or a gourmet evening bite. 

In the bay of Saint-Jean is this picture-perfect beach club. Live the Creole dolce vita as you bask under the Caprini & Pellerin designed umbrellas, bury your feet in the golden sands, and take a dip in the ocean. When you're feeling a little peckish head on up to the restaurant for some Mediterranean delicacies. 

Enjoy a pottery class at Blue Gecko. This wonderful ceramic studio is a great spot to spend the afternoon with children.
