2026, THE YEAR OF YOUR WEDDING IN SAINT BARTH
Categories : St. Barth, Our hotel, published on : 7/24/25
In 2026, your wedding could unfold against one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful hidden gems. Some dream of a castle, others of a grand family home. And then there are those who long for something different — a radiant, elegant escape. In St. Barts, a small Caribbean island where French chic meets island living, every day feels made to celebrate love. Overlooking Anse des Cayes, Hotel Manapany offers a rare setting: a five-star eco-resort facing the ocean, designed as an open, welcoming home. In 2026, it could well become the stage for your most beautiful “I do.”
ST. BARTS,
the island of lovers
Some islands are chosen for their beaches. St. Barts is chosen for its lifestyle — a perfect balance of refinement and simplicity that makes it an irresistible destination for an unforgettable “I do.”
A TIMELESS DESTINATION
Getting married in St. Barts means more than saying “yes” in a postcard-perfect setting. The island has an incomparable atmosphere where French sophistication blends with Caribbean warmth. In Gustavia, the legendary port, couture boutiques, art galleries, and sunny terraces meet, while beaches — some wild, others lively — seem designed for unforgettable moments.
THE IDEAL WEDDING CLIMATE
The true wedding season runs from November to June, when the weather is perfect for outdoor celebrations. From December to April, the island’s high season, the climate is dry, with temperatures between 25–28°C (77–82°F) and refreshing trade winds. It’s the most sought-after period, offering clear skies and a dazzling blue sea — perfect for beach ceremonies and starlit evenings.
May and June appeal to couples seeking tranquility. Days are bright, nature is lush and green, and the atmosphere becomes more intimate — ideal for small-scale weddings. Sunsets gain in intensity, and the island can be savored in full serenity.
AN ARRIVAL LIKE NO OTHER
Reaching St. Barts is already an experience. After a flight to St. Martin or San Juan, a small plane lands you on the legendary runway of Gustaf III Airport, nestled between hills and turquoise sea. This spectacular arrival marks the beginning of an extraordinary stay — the perfect prelude to your wedding.
SHARING UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
A wedding in St. Barts is more than a ceremony — it’s a shared adventure. The island is full of treasures to enjoy with your loved ones. Gustavia invites luxury shopping and lively dinners; Shell Beach and Flamands offer long sun-soaked afternoons; Grand-Cul-de-Sac is ideal for paddleboarding; and Anse des Cayes, home to Hotel Manapany, delights surfers. The more adventurous can set sail to explore secret coves and admire the island from the sea — countless experiences to make your celebration unforgettable.
HOTEL MANAPANY,
an eco-chic haven for your wedding
A CARIBBEAN HOME AT HEART
Set on Anse des Cayes Beach, Hotel Manapany feels more like a home than a hotel. Far from ostentatious luxury, it embodies natural elegance — authentic materials, open terraces overlooking the ocean, and a soft, bohemian atmosphere. Everything invites you to slow down, breathe, and savor the moment.
ROOMS, SUITES & VILLAS FOR YOUR GUESTS
The hotel features 12 rooms, 30 suites, and a Creole Villa (88m²) perfect for family and friends. Some suites open directly onto the beach; others offer jacuzzis or panoramic views. With two pools, two restaurants (one right on the sand), and a spa, the hotel becomes your private wedding village when fully privatized.
SAYING "I DO" WITH YOUR FEET IN THE SAND
The private beach of Hotel Manapany is the island’s most spectacular wedding venue. Fully privatized, it can host up to 200 guests for a cocktail reception and around 100 for a seated dinner. The soft sand becomes a natural aisle — a setting of effortless beauty that makes the moment both grand and authentic.
PRIVATE SPACES FOR EVERY MOMENT
The beach restaurant welcomes you for a chic yet relaxed gathering with your feet in the sand. Inside, Restaurant Rockies, with its Creole woodwork, offers a more intimate atmosphere. Around the pool, receptions take on a magical glow under the stars, while the spa can even transform into a serene space for a private dinner or cocktail. Each location offers its own charm, and together they create a bespoke celebration.
A DEDICATED TEAM
Planning a wedding from afar might seem daunting — but at Hotel Manapany, a caring, experienced team guides you every step of the way. They connect you with trusted local wedding planners, photographers, musicians, hairstylists, and florists — all sharing the same passion for detail. Together, they turn your vision into a tailor-made celebration.
A MEANINGFUL WEDDING
The soul of Hotel Manapany lies in its deep commitment to sustainability. Menus highlight local, seasonal produce; floral décor features island blooms; stationery can be eco-designed; and guest gifts are reimagined as organic beauty products. Eco-consciousness doesn’t take away from the magic — it gives it a deeper meaning.

Saying “yes” in St. Barts also means choosing serenity. To ensure every detail is gracefully handled, Hotel Manapany offers packages designed as true invitations to let go and enjoy.

THE WEDDING WEEKEND: A LONGER CELEBRATION
Beyond one evening, Hotel Manapany turns your wedding into a three-day escape. The celebration begins the night before with a cocktail on the beach, Caribbean tapas, and sparkling bubbles. On the big day, start with a spa wellness moment, followed by your beach ceremony and gourmet dinner under the stars. The next morning, a tropical brunchwith fresh juices, exotic fruits, and French pastries prolongs the joy — before one last swim or massage.
THE LITTLE MOMENTS
that make all the difference
BACHELOR(ETTE) CELEBRATIONS
Every wedding deserves moments of laughter and friendship. Hotel Manapany designs unforgettable bachelorette or bachelor parties: for €245 per person, enjoy a generous cocktail dinner with tapas and unlimited drinks for two hours. The paradisiacal setting — between beach and palm trees — makes every moment sparkle.
THE INTIMACY OF A PRIVATE CELEBRATION
Not every wedding needs to be grand to be unforgettable. True luxury often lies in discretion — in cherishing a moment shared by just two people or a small circle of loved ones. A private wedding in St. Barts is about writing a story savored in peace, far from the crowds.
Hotel Manapany offers bespoke options for intimate weddings or vow renewals. Picture a private dinner by the beach, a symbolic ceremony on a sea-view terrace, or a duo spa treatment before exchanging vows. Renewing your vows in St. Barts means embracing simplicity, reconnecting, and reliving your “yes” in a setting of pure beauty.
WELL-BEING AND BEAUTY BEFORE THE BIG DAY
On the eve of your wedding, the Dr. Hauschka Spa becomes your sanctuary for calm and renewal. In a soothing atmosphere, enjoy a massage, an organic facial, or a natural makeup session to make your skin glow. The spa also offers shared moments — yoga or Pilates by the water, a couples treatment, or a wellness ritual with bridesmaids — easing pre-wedding emotions and turning preparation into serenity.
In 2026, St. Barts could become the setting for your most beautiful story. So, will you say “yes” to Hotel Manapany?
