Warm Weather Hotels: Hotel Guanahani on St Barths

January 2, 2008 at 11:08 AM | 0 Comments

A hotel room in St Barths is a good place to relax at any time of year--or a place where the art gallery comes within the hotel, if you remember our story last week. But when winter gets you down then the warmth of St Barths is an especially good destination, and you could try the Hotel Guanahani and Spa because, for a start, it has a lovely warm sounding name!

Get beyond the name and everything about the Guanahani is still screaming "winter escape". It belongs to the Leading Small Hotels of the World group and deservedly so, with its luxury cottages (some so brightly colored so you won't have any trouble finding your way back there), full-service spa, two to-die-for pools and two beaches.

Winter rates do, of course, jump up a bit from the better-value summer packages, but it's now that you need the sunshine: nightly rates including breakfast start at $820 for a basic room and rise to $1670 for the Ocean 1-Bedroom Suite, which includes a living room and a terrace. All guests get free access to snorkeling, windsurfing, canoes, tennis courts and the fitness room, if you need to work off a bit of post-Christmas winter flab, like we do.
