Picolo recommends · Hotel on Anse des Cayes, St Barths
Hotel Manapany
Small houses scattered through a garden, a pool beneath the palms and a restaurant on the sand of a quiet bay on the north west coast of the island.
At Manapany you sleep in a little house of your own in the garden, with the palms rustling overhead and the bay of Anse des Cayes just below. Anse means cove in French, and this one is calmer than the busy beaches in the south.
Lunch and dinner are served on the beach, and the pool sits among the trees. Gustavia and the airport are a short drive away, and Flamands, one of the widest beaches on the island, is just along the coast.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Manapany
We picked Manapany for couples and families who want space, a quiet beach and their own front door. It is close enough to everything to make the island easy.
You will want a hire car. Gustavia is not a walk, and the restaurants and shops worth seeking out are spread around the island. If you want to stroll out to dinner, stay in town instead.
