Eden Rock, St Barths

Eden Rock is one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.  Since 1995 Eden Rock-St Barths has been owned by Brit, David Matthews and his wife Jane.  For the past 16 years they have been working meticulously on this exquisite property and this year – 2011 - sees Eden Rock-St Barths complete with 40 bedrooms (rooms, suites, cottages and villas) all on St. Jean, St Barths’ liveliest beach.

Also this year David and Jane will launch Eden Rock Villa Rentals which comprises 40 of the most sought after villas on the island. These properties will be bookable through Eden Rock-St Barths and guests will have the added benefit of the services, facilities and concierge of this world-class hotel.

The Matthews family believes that today’s guests look beyond great service and luxury accommodation to define their hotel experience. They have therefore developed the artistic, musical and foodie aspects of life at Eden Rock-St Barths. Today the hotel is about Art for Artists, Music for Musicians and Food for Foodies; from the state-of-the art recording studio, to the art gallery and Artist in Resident programme and two must visit restaurants for anyone on St Barths. 

Set on its own promontory Eden Rock-St Barths is an utterly charming and unexpectedly quirky hotel. The 40 rooms are superbly different; each decorated by Jane and blending the simple and the sublime. Recent additions include two lavish, yet completely private villas; Villa Nina, with its own art gallery and Villa Rockstar, one of the world’s greatest beach houses complete with its own recording studio and the mixing console used by John Lennon to record ‘Imagine’.  Both offer the services of a world-class hotel alongside the privacy, security and space a villa provides

One of the Caribbean’s very few Relais & Chateaux hotels Eden Rock–St Barths gives its guests the cache of a private members club but with the exceptionally fun and truly fashionable vibe found in the South of France.  Make sure you’re on the guest list…
