La Banane (Saint-Barthelemy, Guadeloupe)

A superb boutique hotel next to beautiful white sand beach, with two pools, cocktail bar with lounges, library with reading area, deck chairs, massages on site. A hotel filled with charm, set amid a sumptuous tropical garden bursting with poinciana, hibiscus, frangipani, jasmine and bougainvillea. A secret hotel, just a few metres away from Lorient Bay - a great curve of white sand that is home to surfers, people strolling along and simple lovers of peace and quiet. La Banane. A smile-shaped name. A location in a million. The totally refurbished hotel features contemporary and local architecture. Pure lines, precious essences, refined fabrics, elegant harmonious and restful tones, subtly spiced with Creole colours, each detail combining to create a unique atmosphere where every sense is pampered and cosseted. More than an island, the hotel is an archipelago of nine independent suites, scattered around the main building. Each has its own private terrace. Nine pavilions with delicious names: Watermelon, Lychee, Pineapple, Grape, Kiwi, Pomegranate, Fig, Lime and Coconut. A superb location where you unpack your suitcase with a deep-set feeling of having found the right place. An exceptional place where you come to lose yourself, the better to find yourself.
