“The atmosphere and the spirit of the hotel remains the same,” Claudie Delaballe, group sales manager of Rosewood Le Guanahani tellsThe resort is set on a peninsula bordering two beaches. Part of that charm has to do with the overall vibe. Rosewood Le Guanahani is more laid-back than its competitors, in part thanks to its location on the northern side of the island, far from the crowds at beach bar-laden St. Jean or the main hub of Gustavia.
“Over the years, Le Guanahani has mostly been a family resort, but we have many couples because we increased the number of private pools in our suites,” says Martein van Wagenberg, managing director of Rosewood Le Guanahani, who has been with the resort for eight years and has previously worked with Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the BVIs and Las Ventanas in Los Cabos. “We now have 20 suites with private pools, which works extremely well for couples.
With input from the resort’s former owner David Bonderman, the transformation was led by Luis Pons Design Lab and David M. Schwarz Architects, who both have worked with Le Guanahani in the past. While the room’s interiors, Beach House, Bar Mélangé, Sense Spa and pool have been completely redone, the team retained the signature clapboard yellow, blue and lavender cottages that evoke the hotel’s original French Caribbean colonial-style design.
Nearby, the all-day Beach House restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a chic, private home-like setting; standouts include small plates like the babaganoush, a lovely octopus dish and the island’s famous spiny lobster. Pair them with a cocktail—the spritzes are particularly fabulous and are crafted with house-distilled spirits—or head to Bar Mélangé for a post-dinner drink from the robust library of vintage spirits.
