Known as a celebrity hideaway, the Hotel Isle de France on St. Barths offers intimate accommodations, fine dining and a popular weekly fashion show on one of the island's best beaches.
The hotel has 33 rooms, bungalows and villas with a clean and simple decor that provides a wonderful contrast to the explosion of color spilling in from the tropical foliage and waters outside. Some accommodations feature private pools and jacuzzis; all have full baths, AC, TVs with DVD players, and lovely French linens and furnishings.
Activities and Amenities at the Hotel Isle de France:
The Baie de Flamands is renowed as one of the island's best beaches, but when you're not lounging seaside you can enjoy a pair of freshwater swimming pools, a lighted Astroturf tennis court, workouts at a full gym, and services at the hotel's Molton Brown spa. The weekly fashion show held poolside is a highlight of St. Barths' social calendar.
Dining at the Hotel Isle de France:
La Case de I'Isle overlooks the Baie de Flamands and serves a traditional French lunch and dinner, including grilled meats and fish. The steep prices help keep the celebrity gawkers at bay.
More Information on St. Barths:
The Caribbean is full of exclusive resorts; St. Barths is one of the few exclusive islands. Those who can afford to stay here enjoy a low-key European sophistication, where the person next to you at the topless beach, waterfront bistro, or fine French restaurant could easily be a famous rock star or movie magnate.
