The landmark St Barth Isle de France has reopened as the Cheval Blanc St Barth Isle de France, the third hotel in the LVMH management portfolio.

The global luxury giant purchased the St Barth hotel in 2013, eventually undertaking a major renovation project on the hotel, which includes 40 suites, bungalows and villas alongside the La Case de L’Isle restaurant.

The property includes the only Guerlain spa in the Caribbean, a new White Bar poolside lounge and special “alchemists” who create tailor-made experiences for guests.

The property also has a new color palette, with a “blush pink” created by LVMH just for the property.
