Eden Rock - St Barths
A storied, ultra-luxe resort in St Barths
St Barths' legendary Eden Rock was the first hotel on the famously swanky island. Perched on a rocky promontory over Baie de St. Jean, the boutique resort attracts an international in-crowd with its fabulous rooms and suites, the management’s careful cosseting of high-profile guests, and a sustained commitment to maintaining the gorgeous property’s appeal to A-List clientele.
Guests will find themselves in the middle of St Barths’ buzzy scene, where one can easily walk to some of the island’s best shopping, dining, nightlife and water sport activities. A coral reef just off the shore beckons snorkelers, and the gentle waves of the Caribbean are ideal for laid-back kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- You’d be remiss not
to spend at least one day lounging on the gorgeous beach, basking in both the
Caribbean sun and the attention of the dedicated beach attendants.
- For the active set,
the resort offers a wide array of water sports as well as yachting and fishing
excursions that take full advantage of your island surroundings.
- Enjoy an array of
soothing massages at the Eden Rock Spa or pretty much anywhere you please: in
the privacy of your suite, on your shaded terrace or on the sandy beach
overlooking the turquoise blue sea.
- The Legacy Suites
are a worthwhile (and fun) splurge, decorated to reflect the personalities of
legendary guests like Greta Garbo (Hollywood glamour) and Howard Hughes (copper
bathrooms, aeronautic memorabilia).
- Enjoy international
cuisine with an island flair by Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Sand Bar.
Things to Know
- The luxurious
beachside Villa Nina has its own private art gallery, large stone terraces and
even the Glen Affric whiskey bar, stocked with 40 varieties of the brown spirit.
- For those looking for
a little culture, meander through the hotel to admire all of the art.
- Rather than hitting
the gym, opt for a private yoga session or personal fitness training in the
air-conditioned fitness center.
The Rooms
- Eden Rock’s 37 rooms, suites and villas are located up on the rock, within pretty gardens, and
along the beach. Each is decorated uniquely, with furnishings ranging from
traditionally elegant four-poster beds to sleek, contemporary sofas.
- Guest rooms are
creatively accented with antiques, original fine art, and personal touches of
whimsy. The result? The overall look is more like a posh island home than a
luxury resort.
- The varied range
and style of rooms means you have plenty of options, from the charming
450-square-foot accommodations to the super-luxurious, 16,000-square-foot
private Villa Rockstar.
- All guest rooms
have the latest in technological playthings, custom-made European linens and
Ligne St Barth beauty products.
The Restaurants
- World-famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is behind the globally inspired menus at Eden Rock’s two dining destinations, Sand Bar and the soon-to-debut Rémy Bar.
- At the beachside Sand Bar, lunch and dinner is light Mediterranean-influenced fare — delicious wood-grilled pizzas (try the truffle one), great burgers, salads and unbelievable desserts.
- Savor expertly prepared cocktails and flavorful international bites at Rémy Bar, where a casual British-colonial vibe invites you to unwind in style.
- A lavish daily buffet breakfast is included in the room rate and available only to hotel guests.
