At a glance

Gyp Sea Saint Barth is a Michelin Key-awarded boutique hotel on the Colombier hillside, bringing a vivid Côte d’Azur sensibility to St Barths’ colonial architecture, with 22 bungalows and villas looking out across tropical gardens and Flamands Bay below.

Interiors are the work of designer Jocelyne Sibuet and her daughter Marie, with handmade fabrics from Peru and Tunisia, rattan furnishings, pineapple motifs, four-poster beds draped in netting, and roll-top baths alongside custom pieces collected from Jaipur and Indonesia. Every room is individually decorated, with the effect reading as genuinely eclectic rather than overdone.

The Pure Altitude Spa handles wellness with botanical treatments and a signature coconut ritual. The poolside terrace, surrounded by mango, banana, and bougainvillea, is the natural setting for a long afternoon. A complimentary shuttle connects the hotel to the Gyp Sea Beach Club on Pelican Beach, and the rums and cigars bar handles evenings with over 120 aged rums and a proper fumoir.

In detail

  • Food and Drink

    Food and Drink

    The main hotel restaurant serves Mediterranean-leaning dishes poolside, in the gardens, or in the lounge, from lighter lunch plates through evening menus built around grilled fresh fish, truffle pasta, and Caribbean-influenced sharing dishes. The Chef’s Table offers a bespoke tasting menu showcasing the kitchen’s take on French Caribbean cuisine by reservation.

    The rums and cigars bar is a destination in its own right, with over 120 aged rums poured beneath slowly turning ceiling fans, classic cocktails and rum punches, and a fumoir that suits the colonial setting. The Gyp Sea Beach Club on Pelican Beach operates its own food and drinks program separately.

  • Spa and Wellness

    Spa and Wellness

    The Pure Altitude Spa draws on a botanical treatment philosophy with a signature coconut ritual that takes its cues from the surrounding tropical gardens.

    The poolside terrace, surrounded by mango, banana, and bougainvillea, gives a natural setting for between-treatment recovery, with the Colombier hillside position keeping the wider Flamands Bay in view through the afternoon.

  • Setting

    Setting

    The Colombier hillside position on the western side of the island gives Gyp Sea wide views across the tropical gardens to Flamands Bay below, with a residential atmosphere distinct from the busier addresses elsewhere on St Barths.

    A complimentary shuttle connects the hotel to the Gyp Sea Beach Club on Pelican Beach, putting both the quieter hillside and the more social beach scene within reach of the same stay.

Room Types

Suites and Villas

The Havana Suite (73 sqm) is the most distinctive room in the hotel, with a four-poster king bed under netting, a clawfoot bathtub, and a covered terrace jacuzzi facing the bay.

The Swimming Pool Suite takes things further at 70 sqm, with a private 10 sqm pool set within a 120 sqm outdoor living area at the highest point of the property. The two-bedroom Master Villa (105 sqm) mirrors that outdoor footprint with the same private pool, adding a second king bedroom and bathroom for groups or families of up to four.

Beach Houses

Four standalone beach houses on Saint Jean Beach, a 10-minute drive from the main hotel and right alongside the Gyp Sea Beach Club. Ranging from 65 to 103 sqm and sleeping two to four guests.

Each comes with a private heated pool, full kitchen, garden, large terrace, and dedicated butler service. The setting is noticeably livelier than the hillside hotel, suited to guests wanting direct beach access alongside the privacy of a standalone villa.
