Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this iconic St. Barths hotel reopens with a refreshed Guerlain spa
As the Caribbean season begins, Cheval Blanc St-Barth is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a newly renovated Guerlain spa. Designed by Paris-based modernist architect and interior designer Isabelle Stanislas the refreshed space promises an unparalleled wellness journey for guests.
Having stayed at Cheval Blanc St-Barth last spring, I had the pleasure of experiencing the spa firsthand. It was, without a doubt, one of the most relaxing and luxurious hotel spa experiences I've ever had. From the serene tropical ambiance to the meticulous care provided by Guerlain Beauty Experts, every detail was designed to soothe the senses and rejuvenate the soul. And now it is even more luxe!
A New Era for the Cheval Blanc Spa
Cheval Blanc St-Barth
Set amidst the Maison's lush tropical gardens, the Cheval Blanc Spa invites guests on a sensorial journey of relaxation and renewal. The spa now features five elegant treatment rooms, including the newly added Salon Orchidée, a chic indoor double treatment suite designed for shared wellness moments. Enhancements include a salon area for hair and makeup services and an outdoor relaxation pavilion for peaceful moments in nature.

Isabelle Stanislas has infused the space with understated elegance, combining soft lines, natural materials, and curated details that reflect the Caribbean charm of St-Barth. Guests are greeted by the delicate fragrance of 'Tropical Chic', a scent created exclusively for the spa by Guerlain's Thierry Wasser, evoking the essence of tropical flowers and mountain breezes. When I visited last year, I instantly noticed that everything from the scent when you walked into the treatment room to the service from the team was world class and this update is clearly meant to keep that standard high.
Exclusive New Treatments by Guerlain
The updated spa menu celebrates the partnership between Cheval Blanc and Guerlain, offering treatments tailored to guests' specific needs.

To mark the Maison's 10th anniversary, Guerlain introduces the Antilles Serenity Ritual, a 90-minute journey inspired by the Caribbean. The experience begins with a vanilla-infused scrub for hands and feet, followed by an enveloping massage that blends varying pressures and temperatures with long, soothing gestures.
Another new comer to the Cheval Blanc Spa is Hydrafacial technology. This innovative treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, detoxifies, and hydrates the skin, delivering an immediate luminous glow and long-lasting radiance. It's a must-try for those seeking refreshed, glowing skin—as someone who regularly gets hydrafacials, I am sure guests will love the option, which is rare at hotel spas!
Dining at Cheval Blanc
Celebrating 10 years as one of the Caribbean's most distinguished addresses, Cheval Blanc St-Barth remains a symbol of effortless elegance. Floating along Flamands Bay, the Maison features 61 rooms, suites, and villas, along with two exceptional dining options: the signature fine-dining restaurant La Case, led by Michelin-starred Chef Jean Imbert, and a casual beachfront option. But what stood out during my visit last year was the option to dine on the beach. You need to book this in advance, but it truly makes for a memorable and romantic evening.
Cheval Blanc St-Barth
For those seeking relaxation, refinement, and rejuvenation, Cheval Blanc St-Barth delivers an unforgettable experience. Whether you're indulging in a luxurious Guerlain ritual or savoring the culinary delights at La Case, the Maison seamlessly combines sophistication with the natural beauty of the Caribbean.

After this renovation there is no better time to rediscover the Cheval Blanc St-Barth. Treat yourself to a stay—and a spa treatment. You'll surely remember both long after you've left the island.
