St Barth’s Le Guanahani hotel is planning to reopen in the summer of 2018.

It’s one of several top St Barts hotels that are planning to reopen next summer, including the storied Eden Rock, after damage from Hurricane Irma.

“We have come together to start rebuilding our beloved island home to welcome you all back to the Le Guanahani you know and love,” Le Guanahani said in a note on the property’s Facebook page. “It is from the bottom of our hearts that we thank you for your support and patience as we start our reopening journey for Summer 2018.”

St Barth’s recovery from Irma has begun in earnest, with some properties already planning to reopen in November like the island’s Les Ilets de la Plage.
