Eden Rock - St Barths

Eden Rock - St. Barths is an extravagant monument to the finer things in life. Built on a rocky protrusion that juts out into the sea of St. Jean Beach, the once private house of celebrated owner Remy de Haenan is now a secluded 32-room beachfront hotel for bon vivants and rock stars alike. Relax in an individually-designed suite or villa, some of which feature bathrooms tiled in white gold and private pools, and all of which include stunning ocean views.

On St. Barths leisure is an activity unto itself - a skill that only comes with careful practice. Days are spent luxuriating in the sun, leisurely walking the sandy beachfront, or snorkeling the surrounding coral reef; but make time to visit the resort's art collection at Eden Rock Gallery, showing artists such as Richard Prince, Will Cotton, and Donald Baechler. Afterward, dine at On the Rocks, candlelit gourmet meals are served on a circular open deck offering up an expansive view of the gorgeous Caribbean Sea.
