… where a gentle way of life is jealously maintained as in this marvellous luxurious hotel:
Hotel Guanahani, Grand Cul de Sac, St. Barthélemy 97133 / French West Indies
Le Guanahani, St. Barths' small luxury resort, drapes gently over the hillcrests of Grand Cul de Sac and its starling coloured cottages, from yellow to indigo or purple to bright green, are scattered amongst bougainvilleas, hibiscus and a coconut grove stretching between the ocean and the lagoon. After having your complimentary welcome drink at the Bartolomeo bar, let's start an odyssey in this idyllic landscape.
