The Iconic Resort on St. Barth will Reveal a Comprehensive Refurbishment Under the Rosewood Flag in Spring 2021
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® has been appointed to manage St. Barth’s renowned retreat, Le Guanahani, which is set to reopen in Spring 2021 following an extensive restoration of the fabled property. Closed since 2017 due to the effects of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the property will reopen as Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth with a property-wide rebuild and refurbishment that preserves the unique spirit of the resort and perfectly embodies Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy, wherein the local sensibilities of the destination inspire the resort’s many offerings. Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth will mark the growing ultra-luxury brand’s third property in the Caribbean and first in the French West Indies.
Ideally situated over eighteen lush and secluded acres on a private peninsula overlooking two stunning beaches, Marigot Bay and Grand Cul-de-Sac, Le Guanahani originally opened in 1986 and quickly established itself as one of the most iconic resorts in the world celebrated by both families and couples for its incredible beaches and relaxed style that complements St. Barth’s chic ambience. With stunning architecture by David M. Schwarz Architects and unique interior design by Luis Pons Design Lab, the new Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth will evoke the rich and authentic French Caribbean heritage of the island with its signature colorful style featuring vibrant design hues of turquoise inspired by the Caribbean water, yellow reflecting the tropical sun and lavender as a nod to the South of France.
“A legendary resort cherished for its rich offerings, memorable service and captivating landscape, Le Guanahani is a jewel within the Caribbean and an idyllic destination for Rosewood’s affluential explorers,” said Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. “We are honored to steward Rosewood Le Guanahani as it sets a new standard of luxury on St. Barth and around the world.”

Star Clippers is offering 34 departures in the Caribbean from December 2019 through
March 2020. Two ships—Royal Clipper and Star Flyer—call on the
islands of St. Maarten, Barbados and Antigua, as well as lesser-known
gems, such as Isles de Saintes, Nevis, Dominica and Anguilla.
Guests booking select seven-night
Windward Island and Grenadine Island sailings, seven-night Antigua to
Barbados, and the 16-night Barbados to Lisbon ocean crossing on board
the Royal Clipper, receive two complimentary nights at the Accra Beach
Hotel & Spa, a full service resort in Christ Church, Barbados.
Guests
who book select 14-night Panama and seven-night Treasure and Leeward
Island itineraries, will receive a two-night stay at the charming Holland
House beach hotel in downtown Philipsburg, St. Maarten.
Sailing rates
start at $1,440 per person, based on double occupancy; the hotel package
constitutes a $600 value.
Visiting the Caribbean on board a clipper ship is a unique and
unrivaled experience. These ships are true sailing vessels, using wind
power whenever possible to navigate between islands. Gliding into port
under full sail is a thrilling experience, and one that allows guests to
imagine what it must have been like for the early explorers who arrived
in this exotic region on very similar vessels (minus, of course, the
onboard luxuries like a full-service spa and multiple swimming pools).
And while larger cruise ships disembark their passengers into busy ports
filled with aggressive tourist shops, Star Clippers ships cast anchor
in remote harbors populated with local businesses and housing private
yachts. Small tender boats take guests to and from shore—often to visit
charming towns or off-the-beaten-path beaches where it’s not unusual to
be one of only a handful of snorkelers or sunbathers.
