Small, exclusive, and laid-back - much like its home island of St. Barthelemy - La Banane is a hidden beachfront garden on the Caribbean.
EXPERIENCE
The rich and beautiful let it all hang out on the island of St. Barts, a favorite destination of troubadour Jimmy Buffett. On the private terrace of your brightly painted bungalow at La Banane, you have no trouble following their lead. You might keep savoring the scent of frangipani from the surrounding tropical garden - or wander down to the white-sand bay for a splash in the surf.
La Banane has just nine bungalows tucked into the greenery around its main house. The boutique hotel offers guests two pools, a bar, and a reading room with a library. Whether or not you stray from your four-poster bed, the discreet staff will attend to your every need, be it in-room catering or deep-sea fishing.
Should you crave company on tiny St. Barts, the town of St. Jean is close by - as is Gustavia, the island's capital. In both, you'll find lovely beaches, European designer boutiques, and restaurants serving everything from fine French cuisine to a cheeseburger in paradise.
