If a Caribbean retreat is on your 2025 vacation radar, now is the time to consider the St Bart Hotel Christopher and their brand new 5-bedroom suite, Villa Saba, set to open this month.
Complete with private infinity pool, vast terrace and living spaces, and enhanced by noble materials such as mother-of-pearl and oak, it invites you to escape.
Located at the entrance to the hotel, with no neighbors to disturb the murmur of the wind and the song of the waves, Villa Saba stands out for its unspoiled atmosphere and spectacular panorama. With five elegant rooms, all with ocean views and en-suite bathrooms, it offers absolute comfort.
Hotel Christopher, open for the season, has also recently debuted two new restaurants via a two-Michelin-starred Chef, Christopher Coutanceau:
-
- What’s Notable: Chef Coutanceau is a “fisherman-chef,” and a proponent of sustainable fishing. This figures heavily into menu development and the fish that will be featured.
-
-
- La Plage de Chris — Laid-back seafood, wood-fired dishes, and vibrant local flavors in a beachy setting.
- Le Christopher Coutanceau — Dive into a one-of-a-kind dining journey, celebrating the ocean with seasonal and local ingredients; all featuring breathtaking views of the ocean.
-
- The Sisley Spa: recently named as the Caribbean’s Best Hotel Spa by World Spa Awards.
- St. Barth named a top sustainable destination: According to Virtuoso, St. Barth was mentioned as one of the top destinations experiencing growth: up 155%. Virtuoso attributes the growth to sustainable destinations, and traveling ethically among advisors and supplier members. This growth is notable for Hotel Christopher, as it’s an intimate 42-room and suite resort that’s holistically focused on blending into its surroundings:
- Sustainable operation is at the center of Hotel Christopher’s existence. This includes partnerships with INE (Island Nature Experience) association to replant mangrove around the Petit Cul de Sac pond, elimination of plastic throughout the property, responsible cuisine (has signed a pact on food waste, and reducing food losses, and a commitment to responsible fishing).
- Social Commitment includes first dives for children, wellness workshops open to all and accessible by donation, kids workshops for locals, and using the Biorock process to restore the Pointe Milou Reef.
St. Barth has also recently announced a strategic partnership between Tradewind Aviation and JetBlue designed to increase travel accessibility, providing fliers from more than a dozen markets (JFK, HPN, EWR, BOS, PVD, BDL, DCA, PHL, RDU, MCO, TPA and DLL) with easy access to Caribbean destinations, including St. Barth.
