Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa and Le Barth Villas are expanding their wellness offering with a new collaboration with Dr. Franck Baudino, founder and medical director of Saint-Barth Longevity. The partnership introduces a series of longevity retreats that combine medical diagnostics, science-based therapies and the island’s natural rhythms, reshaping the way wellness is delivered in Saint Barthélemy.

Each Signature Longevity Stay begins with an in-depth health mapping process that can include biological age testing and analyses of hormonal balance, inflammation, oxidative stress and microbiome health. Guests meet with specialists in nutrition, sleep, cognition, dermatology and physical activity, who use those results to design a tailored plan that unfolds over the course of their stay.

The program takes place within the private setting of Le Barth’s hotel or villas, where wellness treatments and medical consultations are layered into daily life rather than structured as isolated appointments.

The length and depth of the programs vary. A three-day stay is designed as a focused reset, with targeted interventions that address issues like fatigue, jet lag or skin recovery.

Five- and seven-day programs offer more comprehensive recalibration, working to reduce inflammation, restore cognitive clarity and support hormonal balance. The flagship experience, lasting up to fourteen days, involves full biomarker analysis, cardiovascular imaging, regenerative therapies and structured post-stay medical follow-up.

What about cost? Prices start at $5,200 and can reach $56,700, depending on the level of testing and duration.

The treatment approach blends advanced medical practices with natural therapies. Guests might begin the day with nutrient-rich infusions or light therapy sessions, followed by yoga, sound healing or guided walks along the shoreline.

Meals are built around anti-inflammatory principles and timed to align with circadian rhythms. Sleep optimization rituals, personalized skincare and stress regulation techniques are woven throughout the stay.

Once guests leave the island, the program continues with up to six months of expert support, including virtual consultations, personalized supplement plans and access to a secure health monitoring platform.

The initiative reflects a broader shift in luxury hospitality, where wellness is no longer defined by spa menus alone. Le Barth’s partnership with Dr. Baudino brings structured medical insight into a setting known for its sense of calm and exclusivity, positioning St. Barth at the forefront of a growing movement that merges destination travel with long-term health strategies.
