Grand Cul de Sac, St Barth
There’s a certain hush to Grand Cul de Sac. The lagoon here is still and clear, wrapped in green hills and sheltered from the wind. Honeymooners spend their mornings floating in calm water, their afternoons lingering over a bottle of rosé at a beach table, their evenings walking along the shoreline as the stars begin to appear. It’s an intimate place, but with the kind of quiet luxury that St Barth does best. Just behind the beach, escapes like Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa and Rosewood Le Guanahani shape the days with private terraces, infinity pools and a kind of easy elegance that makes time feel endless.
