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.

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.
