Designed by Sereno Hotels, the newly re-built Le Sereno St. Barths offers the same timeless look and spirit of the former hotel with an upgraded design that is all it is own. Debuting in December 2018 and drawing inspiration from the island, Le Sereno features a contemporary look with an understated décor allowing for relaxed and spacious accommodations to maximize the breathtaking views of the Grand Cul de Sac. Exotic and sustainable woods and stones adorn the rooms from top to bottom while both new and restored Christian Liaigre furnishings and new in-room technology fill the interior spaces for a familiar, yet fresh and updated setting. The definition of superior design and style, Le Sereno offers a new hotel that elevates the island experience with an understated luxury and laid-back attitude that is iconic of the brand. Building the new Le Sereno provided an opportunity to take environmental impact into account in every aspect of the hotel. All of the new construction is made with sustainably sourced wood and stone. The entire property is equipped with the latest technology allowing the reduction of energy consumption.

ACCOMMODATION

Le Sereno is an intimate family-owned and -operated St. Barths Beach hotel offering only 39 suites in addition to 3 large four-bedroom villas. Located on the beach at Grand Cul de Sac and spanning 600 feet of pristine shoreline, Le Sereno is one of only a handful of St. Barthelemy hotels that can claim a beachfront location (in this case, a virtually private beach). Catering year-round to sophisticated travelers craving luxury, comfort, and privacy, the hotel features a swimming pool, a sundeck, a restaurant, and a spa pavilion all of which overlook the water.

VILLAS

Le Sereno Villas offer the best of both worlds: the privacy and the expansiveness of a private villa combined with the amenities and service of a Five Star hotel plus the attention to detail, design, and service for which Le Sereno is known. Each of the three Villas offers more than 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space in a half an acre of private landscaped garden. These exclusive villas have four bedrooms, large living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, expansive terraces, landscaped gardens, private parking, furnished poolside deck, and heated private pools overlooking the magnificent views over the Grand cul-de-sac. Guests feel thoroughly at home and completely pampered in Le Sereno Villas.

DINING

Ristorante al Mare, built with Le Sereno’s signature attention to design and detail, offers panoramic views of the Grand Cul de Sac from the open-air dining room and Plage, the beachfront extension where guests can enjoy their meal under the shade of coconut trees with their feet in the sand and experience refreshing beachside breezes. Unveiled in November 2019, the restaurant features a brand-new Michelin-starred culinary team led by executive chef Raffaele Lenzi. Chef Lenzi is joined by the talented chef Andrea Cimino and food & beverage director Stefano Gaiofatto, who come to St. Barth’s from Le Sereno’s sister property, Il Sereno Lago di Como, where they helped the restaurant Berton Al Lago earn its first Michelin star within a year of opening.

Chef Lenzi’s new menu at Ristorante al Mare focuses on fresh, local ingredients expertly crafted into simple, delicious, contemporary Italian cuisine best-enjoyed beachside, while retaining some of the beloved guest favorites such as the Spaghetti con Aragosta (lobster spaghetti). New menu highlights include the Spaghetti with Fresh Cucumber Ceviche, Aragosta con Caponatina di Verdura (lobster with a vegetable caponata), Spaghetti Ai Cinque Pomodori (spaghetti with sauce made from five tomato varieties) and Caciucco Alla Livornese (traditional Italian fish soup served with toasted bread). The restaurant’s wildly popular Aperitivo Hour will also return, where guests can enjoy Mediterranean bites, wines, and expertly crafted cocktails to the tunes of the live guitar as the sunsets.

SPA

Expanded in December 2018, the Spa features three full treatment rooms including the waterfront pavilion, the island’s only beachfront treatment room. At the Spa, or in the comforts of your own suite, guests can enjoy the extensive menu of facials, body wraps, and massages using products from the renowned Swiss brand Valmont. The Spa also includes a new fitness room featuring the latest fitness technology and equipment as well as a new garden that provides a serene space for guests to practice yoga or meditation.

LANDSCAPE 

Following the damage from Hurricane Irma in September 2017, Le Sereno once again partnered with tropical master landscape architect, Enrique Blanco, to design the property’s new scenery as part of the 2018 renovations. A disciple of the famous Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx and highly noted for his designs from Caracas to Barbados, Blanco’s design gives new life to the iconic property. Adding in grand exotic gardens, vibrant plants, and island trees throughout, the new landscape design emphasizes the detail, simplicity, and beautiful serenity Le Sereno is known for.
