St. Barth exudes a sense of effortless elegance and laid-back luxury.
Its soft white sand beaches and rugged hills create a breathtaking juxtaposition. And the perfect backdrop for the quaint boutiques and chic cafes that dot the hillsides.
As the sun sets, the island comes alive as locals and visitors gather to savor culinary delights and dance to live music. Or simply revel in the beauty of a starlit sky.
These are some of the many reasons I choose to call St. Barths my home. And why so many couples choose it as their wedding destination.
As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve captured some of the most stunning weddings on this paradise island. And I’m excited to share some of my favorite luxe locations for saying “I do” in St. Barths.
Join me as we explore the dreamiest secluded beaches and most lavish resort hotels.
Villa Marie St. Barth
Villa Marie sits like a sparkling gem in the hills of Colombier. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury, where sophisticated décor and impeccable attention to detail are evident in every corner. The boutique hotel is styled after a traditional French colonial villa, with its terracotta roof tiles, shuttered windows, and a sweeping veranda that offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the sea beyond.
The lush tropical gardens surrounding Villa Marie add to the serene atmosphere. Imagine your wedding photos framed by vibrant hibiscus, towering palm trees, and fragrant frangipani.
The hotel’s pool area, with its serene blue waters and chic sun loungers, is another popular location for wedding photos. And when you’re not posing for pictures, you can sip a chilled glass of champagne as you watch the sunset and feel the world’s stress slip away.
Eden Rock St. Barth
Located on a stunning stretch of white sand beach in St. Jean Bay, Eden Rock is a legendary hotel that has long been synonymous with luxury and glamour. Here you’ll find the ghosts of Greta Garbot and Howard Hughes sipping rosé on sun loungers. That’s the vibe – one of elevated edginess, where every detail is designed to create an experience of exclusivity.
The hotel’s architecture is a striking fusion of modern design and traditional Caribbean charm. Think actual rock walls and red accents. Inside you’ll find a masterful blend of contemporary style and classic elegance. Each suite is individually designed and has bespoke furnishings reflecting the room’s theme.
At Eden Rock, you’ll also have access to a private beach, the perfect place to exchange vows, take romantic wedding photos, or see what it feels like to swim in turquoise. Perhaps do all three!
Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France
Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France is an enchanting hotel that embraces you into the good life. Walk through the passageway built of tropical greenery and pink bougainvillaea to find pure luxury and relaxation.
The hotel offers a range of luxurious accommodations, including rooms, suites, and villas that are perfect for wedding preparations and hosting guests. Each room is elegantly designed, featuring high-end amenities and beautiful sea or garden views.
Cheval Blanc also features a private beach just steps from the main building. This beach is one of the most beautiful on the island, making it the ideal location for a romantic sunset ceremony.
And for those who love world-class cuisine, the hotel’s restaurant, La Case, features a mix of French and Caribbean flavors. Enjoy responsibly sourced fish, island spices, and Caribbean fruits and cocoa.
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa St. Barth
This stunning beachfront hotel is situated on Grand Cul de Sac’s bay, known for its pristine waters and white sand beaches on the natural reserve filled with green sea turtles.
Le Barthelemy is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and features architecture and design that blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The rooms and suites are elegantly appointed, with light and airy interiors that create a sense of relaxation and tranquility. Everything feels cool, calm, and like a breath of fresh air. Exactly what you need on your wedding day!
In addition to its beautiful beachfront location, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa is also just a short distance from some of the island’s most popular attractions, including the bustling Gustavia harbor, the charming village of St. Jean, and the stunning hiking trails that wind through the hills and along the coastline.
And while you and your guests enjoy the wedding weekend, take advantage of the hotel’s surroundings, as they offer plenty of outdoor adventures. Snorkeling, scuba diving, kite surfing, and paddleboarding are all on the docket!
Hotel Christopher St. Barth
Nestled on a picturesque hillside overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea, Hotel Christopher is the perfect place to tie the knot in style.
Each of the hotel’s 42 rooms and suites is beautifully designed with a blend of contemporary and traditional Caribbean influences, creating a unique ambiance that is both chic and inviting. Choose a garden-view room, an ocean-view suite, or a luxurious villa with a private pool, and start your wedding weekend in true comfort.
The Hotel Christopher St Barth offers a range of amenities to help you and your guests unwind and recharge during your stay. Take a dip in the spectacular infinity pool, which seems to blend seamlessly with the ocean beyond, or indulge in a massage or treatment at the world-class spa.
And when it comes to your wedding day, the hotel offers a range of event spaces to accommodate intimate ceremonies and grand receptions. Exchange vows and mingle over cocktails at the infinity pool, then dine and dance at the refined Riviera restaurant.
What I personally like the most about this resort apart from the peachy sun setting behind the surrounding islands is the ability of transformation it offers with the help of the world’s top wedding planners.
