The GypSea, one of the most beautiful luxury hotels in Saint Barth

One glance is all it takes—taking in the view of Flamands Bay from the heights of Colombier—to realize that GypSea is a place like no other. A true corner of paradise, this luxury hotel in Saint Barth offers a dreamlike setting to enjoy from one of its 22 luxurious rooms and villas, decorated in shades of turquoise, bougainvillea pink, sky blue, or canary yellow. With its tropical ambiance, reimagined colonial decor, beach houses right on the sand in Saint-Jean, sun-kissed cuisine, and a spa nestled in the heart of a lush garden, this 5-star hotel stands out as one of the most inspiring destinations for a luxury vacation in Saint-Barth. 

 

A chic tropical atmosphere that embodies the Caribbean way of life

GypSea, the’luxury hotel in Saint Barth embodies a unique style: a vibrant blend of Creole heritage, colonial influences, bohemian touches, and the French art of living. Seashells, coral, rattan furniture, bamboo lamps, woven ropes, and treasures sourced from around the world… Every piece tells a story.

The grand main building features a veranda typical of Caribbean architecture, and the living rooms—decorated in a modern take on plantation style—exude a warm, tropical chic, where vibrant colors blend with the warmth of wood and natural textures.

On the garden side, palm trees, bougainvilleas, traveler’s trees, cacti, mango trees, and balisiers surround the pool, which is nestled in a lush green setting like a natural cocoon. A soothing and exotic world where you can wander barefoot, drawn by the scents of warm earth and exotic flowers.

Between tranquility and excitement: two atmospheres, one spirit

While the GypSea Hotel embodies a contemplative tranquility, the GypSea Beach Club offers a more festive atmosphere. Located just a few minutes away on Pélican Beach in Saint-Jean Bay, it extends the venue’s identity: bohemian, chic, and laid-back. Here, you can lounge with your feet in the sand, dance at sunset, and savor tropical fusion cuisine with a chic barbecue twist.
Two locations, two atmospheres, but the same philosophy: chill, party, and repeat.

The GypSea Hotel on the hills above Colombier: bungalows, suites, and villas with a view 

The luxury hotel features 22 bungalows and villas, all opening onto the tropical garden or offering ocean views. Their design is a harmonious blend of colonial, bohemian, and Caribbean styles, always accented with custom-made furniture and vibrant colors that echo the surrounding landscapes.

Each bungalow has its own unique character. The Plantation Bungalow (45 m²) offers a lush, green retreat, with its exotic fabrics and intimate terrace.

The Family Suite (76 m²) is perfect for four people, with its two bedrooms and large terrace. And for those who love private pools, the Pool Suite (190 m²) is a true gem perched on the hillside, featuring a 10-meter pool and 120 m² of outdoor space.

A solar-powered restaurant, generous and creative

At the GypSea Hotel, the cuisine is not merely a complement to your stay—it is one of its highlights.

First thing in the morning, treat yourself to a healthy, vitamin-packed breakfast. Waffles, French toast, avocado toast, chia pudding, tropical fruits… Served poolside, it’s the perfect way to start the day—a gentle, indulgent experience. We then have lunch by the pool at the Pool Side Break restaurant. Surrounded by the serene atmosphere of tropical greenery, we discover fresh and colorful cuisine—salads, bowls, fish, and modernized Creole specialties. The indoor lounges, with their colonial decor accented by vintage pieces and antiques, also invite you to relax. For dinner, head to La Table du Chef. By reservation only, this bespoke gastronomic experience transforms dinner into an exceptional occasion. The chef crafts a personalized menu based on your preferences: seafood, local fish, vegetarian options, or even a truffle-themed meal. Finally, nestled in the heart of the tropical garden and decorated in chic Creole style, the Bar Plantation offers a carefully curated selection of the finest Caribbean rums—Zacapa, Appleton, Diplomático, Angostura… Not to mention the house cocktails: Royal Mojito, Coconut Punch, Piña Colada, and Ti Punch. The perfect spot for an aperitif at sunset.
