Families seeking to get the most out of the summer travel season together can head to Le Guanahani on the island of St. Barth, located on a private, pristine peninsula on Grand Cul de Sac lagoon. Regarded as the most kid-friendly hotel on the island and with water sports ranging from kite surfing to fly boarding and sea kayaking, there is something for every generation at Le Guanahani. Families of all sizes looking to experience St. Barth for an extra night can book the hotel’s special suite offer. This exciting offer gives families the opportunity to book suite accommodations for four nights, while only paying for three, all the while experiencing the hotel’s renowned amenities.
Le Guanahani offers a myriad of activities and amenities for families to engage and enjoy. The hotel boasts a choice of two pristine beaches perfect for the use of complimentary non-motorized water sports equipment for paddle boarding, windsurfing, snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking and pedal boating in crystal-blue waters. Additionally, the hotel has two flood-lit tennis courts. For adventurous fun further offshore, Le Guanahani can arrange kite surfing, jet skiing, deep-sea fishing and diving excursions, with departures available directly from the property. Boating excursions are provided from the beach on the resort’s 42-foot Sacs speed boat, with picnic lunches available created by Chef Philippe Masseglia.
Children experience a taste of French culture and language with the Kids’ Club at Le Guanahani while parents enjoy personal downtime. The hotel offers two outstanding kids programs – a Kids’ Club for its youngest visitors (age 2-6) and a Junior’s Club for the older kids (age 6-12). Both programs are open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM upon reservation and include activities spanning singing, painting seashells, exploring and discovering wildlife including sea turtles, and making jewelry for younger children to snorkeling, canoeing, windsurfing, and volleyball for Junior Club members. The beachfront restaurant, Indigo, prepares daily lunch from the Kids’ menu to satisfy cravings.
In addition to the variety of wellness excursions offered at the hotel, health-conscious families can experience Le Guanahani’s newly-announced partnership with ORAHE, a stand-up paddle boarding program combined with gymnastics, Pilates and yoga. The hotel has partnered with French wellness sensation and former supermodel Estelle Lefébure to offer wellness retreats based on her exclusive ORAHE method. ORAHE is a “raison d’être” that encompasses beauty, sports and culinary experiences based on the belief that a healthy, happy life can be achieved with three principles: eat, move, be. Guests can enjoy the program in three and five day increments, in addition to a special nutritious diet prepared by Chef Philippe Masseglia, along with specially created spa treatments at the Spa by Clarins.
Families can relax and rejuvenate at the Spa by Clarins featuring balneotherapy or water therapy, hydrojet, steam baths, a lovely tea pavilion and an extensive menu of treatments. The Spa by Clarins also offers special children treatments for junior guests.
Summer rates start from €595 per night including breakfast and airport transfers.
