Picolo recommends · Hotel on Pointe Milou, St Barths
Christopher Hotel
A big pool on the edge of Pointe Milou seems to pour into the Atlantic, and every room has a terrace where the sea fills the whole view.
Pointe Milou is a headland on the north coast, and Christopher sits up on it with nothing but water in front. The large pool lines up with the horizon, so swimming here feels like floating at the edge of the sea.
Each room has its own terrace facing the water. Evenings are the highlight, when the sky changes colour over the pool, and the restaurant and spa both share the same open view.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Christopher Hotel
Christopher is our pick for the view. Couples who want open water ahead of them from breakfast until the sun goes down will find few better places on the island.
The hotel has no sand of its own. For a swim in the sea you drive to St-Jean or Grand Cul-de-Sac, which takes a few minutes. Families who want to dig in the sand all day should choose a beach hotel.
