Cheval Blanc St-Barth

Cheval Blanc St-Barth is as close as it gets to swanky Caribbean perfection. The resort, which recently became the third acquisition by the French luxury brand LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), is on Flamands Bay, often considered the prettiest white-sand beach on the island. The spacious and elegantly appointed villas, suites, and rooms are all about clean lines, classic furnishings, pristine bespoke linens and impeccable tidiness. Attention to the smallest detail is marquee here — even a signature tropical Guerlain fragrance by Thierry Wasser wafts languidly throughout the resort. St. Barts has long been an exclusive retreat for VIPs and those that want to vacation like them. This boutique hotel is among the most extravagant on the celebrity-studded island, and it caters to guests who want luxury in a laid-back, unpretentious manner.
