What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
it’s just a Twenties-era colonial mansion plus three freestanding cottages, making for an atmosphere that’s as tranquil as can be.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The beach sits ten minutes down the hillside, and trails inland lead through rainforest toward waterfalls and the Soufrière volcano.
The rooms
Freestanding wooden cottages open onto private terraces in the gardens, while the 1920s manor holds three rooms across two floors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A freshwater infinity pool is set into a wooden deck, looking out across the forest to the Saintes archipelago.
Massages
Therapists set up massage tables outdoors on private balconies looking out over the palms and ocean.
Restaurant
Le Panga
The open-air terrace serves Creole and French dishes from a fixed menu, using fruit harvested from the estate grounds.
How it began
The Arnoux family built the home in 1927 on their banana plantation, converting the historic residence into a hotel in 1993.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
