Saint Barthelemy, a pearl nestled in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. Its pure white sandy beaches stretch between an emerald sea and an azure coloured sky. A little part of France, colonized by the Brittans in the XVII th century, where a gentle way of life is jealously maintained.
The Guanhani’s startling coloured cottages, from yellow to indigo or purple to bright green, are scattered amongst bougainvilleas, hibiscus and a coconut grove stretching between the ocean and the lagoon. In this heaven of tranquility, you will find serenity, luxury, and intimacy. The Guanahani has offers sincere hospitality which you will feel as soon as you arrive. An efficient and friendly staff will attend to your every whim.
Your holiday will take you in the heart of the architectural and decorative traditions developed throughout centuries in the West Indies. Surrounded by tropical gardens, each cottage is configured in the creole style and decorated with rare woods, pastel shades and lovely cotton fabrics which create a colonial atmosphere. From the double room to the suite with its own private swimming-pool each cottage offers charm and comfort, opening out onto a large terrace, a private garden and the Big Blue Sea.
The Guanahani will also tease your taste buds as you explore its tempting cuisine. Start at the Indigo Restaurant overlooking the beach and the swimming-pool, with a tropical-flavoured breakfast buffet comprising a wide choice of fresh fruits, jams and “Viennoiseries”. It continues there with a refreshing lunch where exotic salads as well as grilled lobsters have a place of honour. This festival of the palate ends with an exquisite dinner at the Bartolomeo Restaurant, a gastronomic delight where you can taste the Mediterranean flavours and great vintages.
Your stay at Guanahani can be as active or as relaxing as desired: Idling under the caress of the Trade Winds, duty-free shopping in Gustavia or at the hotel’s shop, fitness and beauty therapy ( massages, facials, hair-dressing ), various sports such as windsurfing, scuba-diving, tennis, sail-boat and catamaran trips, deep-sea fishing, and horseback riding.
