From the lively Saint-Jean Beach to the untouched natural sanctuaries of the northern islets, discover the island’s most beautiful spots just minutes away from Hotel Manapany...
FIRST STOP: ANSE DES CAYES
Stretching along Saint Barth’s northwest coast, Anse des Cayes unveils its golden sands under the graceful flight of pelicans. A true haven of peace, it’s the perfect setting for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. At the southern end of the bay, our 5-star eco-luxury hotel enjoys an exceptional location: nestled in lush tropical nature, with direct access to an almost private beach. Whether you prefer a dip in the pool, a relaxing spa treatment, a yoga session overlooking the sea, a barefoot lunch facing the turquoise horizon, or a book under the coconut palms with the soothing sound of the waves, Hotel Manapany invites you to embrace the island’s gentle rhythm. And yet, Saint Barth brims with distinct places worth exploring.
JUST NEXT DOOR: SAINT-JEAN BEACH
Only a 5-minute drive from Hotel Manapany, the iconic Saint-Jean Beach is the beating heart of island life. Known for its chic and festive atmosphere—especially at the world-famous Nikki Beach—it’s a favorite hotspot for party lovers. But from the early hours of the day, the beach is alive with turquoise waters, exclusive beach clubs, luxury boutiques, and colorful kitesurfers dancing across the bay as private planes glide above.
A FEW MINUTES AWAY: GUSTAVIA, THE ISLAND’S CAPITAL
In Gustavia, you’ll feel the true spirit of Saint Barth: its colonial past, joyful character, and deep connection to the Caribbean Sea. Wander through lively streets, browse designer shops, stop at a charming café, or explore the port and historic church. Climb up to Gustavia’s lighthouse for a breathtaking panorama, passing by the botanical garden and remnants of the old fort along the way. From above, admire the shimmering sea, the town’s Creole charm, and its signature red rooftops. Just nearby, Shell Beach invites you for a refreshing swim on its seashell-covered shore, followed by a picture-perfect sunset. When night falls, the capital comes alive with trendy restaurants and bars.
COROSSOL: A PICTURESQUE FISHERMEN’S VILLAGE
To continue your journey into authentic Saint Barth near our hotel, head to Corossol. Here, discover colorful Caribbean houses, lively cafés, local restaurants, and artisan shops. The must-bring souvenir? A hand-woven straw beach bag or hat, crafted with traditional island savoir-faire. This charming fishing village offers a delightful escape for those who want to soak in the island’s authentic spirit. Families will especially enjoy its tranquil beach with crystal-clear waters, dotted with fishing boats.
THE NORTHERN ISLETS: A LUXURY ESCAPE AT SEA
Marine life in Saint Barth is abundant everywhere, but the northern islets promise a particularly magical experience. A catamaran trip unveils the treasures of protected natural reserves. Set sail north from the hotel toward Frégate and Toc-Vers islets. Untamed and rocky, these uninhabited gems are home to colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and pristine snorkeling spots. It’s the ultimate luxury sea escape, blending adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. A world of discovery awaits in Saint Barth. Just minutes from the 5-star Hotel Manapany, dive, dance, explore, and marvel at the island’s endless treasures.
