It’s long been one of our favorite places to stay in the Caribbean — not just in St Barth.

And now the charming Hotel Le Village St Barth has announced a major new offering that is giving travelers seven nights for the price of five — and the recipe for the perfect St Barth summer getaway.

Le Village, the boutique villa-style hotel in the hills above St Jean, is one of the few hotels that was able to reopen shortly after Hurricane Irma.

Now, the property, which is fully repainted and spruced up, has launched the “Stay 7/Pay 5” summer package, which includes a full week in one of the hotel’s kitchen-equipped cottages, free Wi-Fi, towels and coolers for the beach and, most importantly, a laid-back, old-school St Barth experience.

Le Village, which is owned by the Charneau family, is a portal to the way St Barth used to be before the crowds, a place that offers luxury without compromising on warmth.

The villas are crisply designed, with an indoor-outdoor layout that will have you spending most of your afternoons staring out at the green hills of this French Caribbean jewel.
