One of the most famous spots in St Barth has reopened its doors in time for the holidays.

St Barth’s boutique Tom Beach Hotel, set on a beautiful stretch of sand in St Jean, has officially relaunched after undergoing repairs in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

“We are delighted to announce that Tom Beach Hotel is fully back on track,” the property said in a statement after welcoming its first guests since Irma.

The relaunch of the 12-room property has not come without some new additions, led by a new “garden lounge” perfect for breakfast or an afternoon drink.

Of course, while the hotel is terrific, Tom Beach is equally famous for its beach lounge, which now becomes the premier (and only) full-fledged beach lounge on the island right now (every room reservation comes with daily beach loungers included).

It’s the latest step in what has been a rapid recovery for St Barth in the wake of this fall’s major storms, with several other properties, including Le Village and Les Ilets de la Plage, already having reopened, along with a large number of villas.
