No other island exudes French l’art de vivre like St. Barths, a perfectly calibrated blend of barefoot Parisian chic and casual sophistication. When it comes to evoking that ambiance, Hotel Manapany, the island’s only five-star eco-resort and spa, exudes elan. 

With a range of beautiful villas and suites, Manapany, tucked away in Anse de Cayes, feels intimate and personal. Rooms are surrounded by gorgeous greenery and lush flowers and palms. There is a strong commitment to sustainability: solar power, only electric cars, bamboo beach towels and the property produces its own water. The chef grows organic vegetables and partners with local fishermen. And the spa features a range of outdoor, nature-focused programs, such as outdoor yoga and Pilates, a range of hikes, aqua yoga and long al fresco lunches by the sea. Surfing lessons and treatments with wild-harvested organic skincare seals the deal. 

Many rooms open directly onto the beach, and guests can relax and watch the waves break on the beach from expansive terraces. Or swim in the crystalline waters and feel any stress melt away.
