Fouquet’s St. Barth
History & Story
It is on the French island of St. Barths in the Caribbean, a long-haul flight away from Europe, that Barrière has opened its 5-star Hotel that oozes luxury, elegance and French-style charm. Fouquet’s St. Barth and its Suites, Loft and Villa, each with private pools, lie moored in the Caribbean, offering luxurious accommodation in the land of the trade winds. Amid tropical elegance that creates an ambiance of wellbeing, relaxation and letting go – Fouquet’s St. Barth is the perfect place for a romantic holiday, or for spending time with family and friends, enjoying the simple pleasures of being with your loved ones.
Fouquet’s St. Barth is the only Hotel on the island boasting panoramic views of the port of Gustavia, the island’s capital. Retroceded to France by Sweden in 1877, the island of St Barths (covering an area of 24km2 ) is a French territory in the Caribbean, situated just 20km from St. Martin and 200km south-east of Guadeloupe. As in mainland France, the island’s currency is the euro. “Discovered” in the 1950s by wealthy tycoons, and then in the early sixties by the jet-setters of the hippy era, discreet St Barths has been a popular destination for international film stars, celebrities and famous models ever since.
Date Renewal
Renovations started as soon as Fouquet’s was rebought in 2015. The 12 Suites and the main building which includes the lobby, spa, fitness, the Loft, 2 Exception Suites, 2 Junior Suites and the back office got completely renovated. The hotel also expanded its offer with the Villa Diane which is composed of 5 suites with a common space, terrace and pool situated behind the hotel. The design of the renovations was designed by Ghezzi Architects in collaboration with Gilles & Boissier.
Date added extensions

Main Strengths, Special Touch
The main strengths and special touch was to create a unique experience for the guests through the use of French style luxury in the Caribbean’s. This is done through the use of cabana chic caribbean colours.
Location
The hotel is placed in a peaceful tropical garden just a stone’s throw from Shell Beach and just three minutes above from the centre of Gustavia. The location offers some of the best views of St Barth’s, its port and neighbouring islands.
Key sites/activities in the area
The area offers some of St. Barths’ most iconic experiences, starting with Shell Beach and its unique shoreline made of millions of tiny shells, just steps away from Gustavia’s lively atmosphere. Hidden coves nearby invite guests to spend the afternoon swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying a picnic by the water.
For those looking to stay active, the hike to Colombier Beach remains a must, rewarding walkers with breathtaking panoramic views and one of the island’s most pristine beaches. Water sports enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy, from paddleboarding and snorkeling to jet skiing and scuba diving among coral reefs, tropical fish, and historic shipwrecks.
Days at sea are another essential part of the St. Barths experience, whether aboard a private boat exploring secluded bays around the island or during a sunset cruise with cocktails and golden hour views over the Caribbean. Back at the harbor, mornings come alive with local fishing boats returning with the day’s fresh catch — often making its way straight onto lunch plates a few hours later.
