Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France: Jacques Grange rooms on Flamands Beach, a Guerlain spa, and La Cabane that closes at dusk

Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France sits on Baie des Flamands, the northwestern shore of Saint-Barthélemy. LVMH marks it as a Cheval Blanc maison since 2014. The official rooms index lists garden, hillside, and beach categories plus Villa de France, with interiors by Jacques Grange and gardens and art by Madison Cox and Jean-Michel Othoniel. The Cheval Blanc Spa is Guerlain. The house names two restaurants: La Case for the Caribbean dinner, La Cabane for lunch on the sand.

Lock the room by the walk and the table by the clock. La Cabane is open daily for lunch only, 12:00 to 18:00. Dinner is La Case — the dining index lists a light meal 12:00 to 18:00 and dinner 19:00 to 21:30 every day; the La Case page repeats dinner 19:00 to 21:30. White Bar runs 9:00 to 23:00. The Tiki Bar at La Cabane is 10:00 to 18:00. Carte Blanche is in-room dining 24/7, including picnics and dinner cruises, and it is not a third restaurant. Guerlain hours are extra. Confirm breakfast with the house — the dining pages do not name a breakfast room.

Ask for the category by the view and the steps. Tropical Room and Ocean Room are 60 square metres including the terrace. Garden Bungalow and Hillside Bungalow are 65. Hillside has a private pool; the beach is a five-minute walk down a 60-step garden path. Garden Suite is 70 square metres including the terrace and, on the villa card, a private pool the index does not mention. Ocean Junior is 70. Tropical Suite is 75. Tropical Junior with pool and Ocean Suite are 90 — Ocean Suite is on the hills and accessed by steps. Two-bedroom Tropical and the two-bedroom Bungalow are 110. Beach Suite is 120 on the sand with a plunge pool. Two-bedroom Garden is 150 with a pool. Two-bedroom Ocean, Beach House, and Beach Suite are 160 — Ocean is stairs, Beach House has a hot tub not a pool and a few steps to the sand. Villa de France is 650 square metres including terraces, five bedrooms for ten, two infinity pools, a private spa and gym, and a Majordome.

The official contact page offers arrival and departure transfers from the airport and Gustavia harbour and says the maison is a few minutes by car from both. Do not invent a drive time beyond that. Beach and maison pools are 8:00 to sunset; the gym is 24/7; the spa is 10:00 to 20:00. The stay is not all-inclusive. Confirm breakfast. Dinners and Guerlain hours are extra.

Book this if you want a Grange house on Flamands, a Majordome, and a published lunch-on-the-sand / dinner-at-La-Case split. Skip it if you cannot do stairs or a 60-step path and you were about to book Hillside, Ocean Suite, or the two-bedroom Ocean or Tropical, or if you need a beach dinner every night — La Cabane is lunch only. Tripadvisor scores it 4.7 from 289 reviews; Google scores it 4.7 from 271.
