Why we like it for families

  • Family-Focused Luxury. This small, luxury resort has families in mind. And it’s all in the details. The Cheval Blanc website says it best: “Babies are swaddled in refined French equipment. Children are spoilt in kid-sized flip-flops, slippers and bathrobes.” A white stuffed horse will await your child upon arrival, and specially designed kids’ menus are available for all ages. Saint Barts may be viewed as an adult-focused island, but Cheval Blanc sets the tone that families should enjoy the over-the-top glam life too. Be warned: Once your child experiences the touches of luxury at Cheval Blanc, it may raise their travel expectations forever!
  • The glorious rooms. Whitewashed walls, rain showers, and balconies with plush lounge chairs. Look at photos of Cheval Blanc and you’ll immediately want to tuck deep into the crisp white cotton sheets on the oversized white beds. The two-bedroom suites for families are especially enticing.
  • The location. Cheval Blanc sits on one of Saint Barts’ largest beaches, Flamands Beach. It takes only 20 minutes to traverse all of Saint Barts, so the rest of the sights are just a stone’s throw away.
  • The service. Guests rave about the attention to detail and professionalism embraced by the Cheval Blanc staff. Luxury for parents in this day and age means your needs are anticipated and taken care of, and Cheval Blanc will make that happen.

Cheval Blanc offers Mango Tree guests VIP amenities including: Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; $100 resort credit; Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability; Complimentary Wi-Fi. Let’s get you VIP’d!

Location and Activities

Cheval Blanc is 5 minutes away from St Barts’ Gustaf III Airport (SBH). This airport has one of the shortest runways in the world, and only small propeller planes are able to land here. You can take a propeller plane to Saint Barts from nearby Saint Martin, Puerto Rico, or Guadeloupe. Ferries also run between Saint Martin and Saint Barts, but they can get quite bumpy.

  • Everyone who stays at Cheval Blanc seems to report that, the minute you walk through the lobby, a wave of peace and tranquility washes over you. From there on out, the impeccable service begins, and you’ll be treated as a VIP as you enjoy a luxury vacation with all the little touches.
  • The property has a secluded feel to it, with wooden walkways winding through lush gardens. Each room is designed to create a sense of privacy, from the private villas and bungalows with private pools, to the oceanfront suites.
  • A small property, it’s easy to get the lay of the land. As you enter through reception, you’ll see the main fine-dining restaurant, La Case de L’Isle, overlooking the pool and beach, and open for dinner from 7pm. At La Cabane, you’ll eat lunch right on the beach, feet in the sand. There are no waterslides, playgrounds, or lawn games here: Just a simple, delightful beachfront hotel.
  • The kids programming is comprehensive, including something for all ages: family yoga, treasure hunts, art classes, surfing lessons, gardening courses, and guided snorkeling just for families.
  • The hotel has onsite babysitters. Recommended to book babysitting with as much advance notice as possible.
  • The waves can be strong at the beach here, perhaps better suited for older kids. That said, Cheval Blanc is only a 7 minute drive from Saint-Jean beach, known for its gentle waves.

Traveler Reviews

This was our second trip here, now as a family of 4, and has been thoroughly enjoyable. The hotel has a stunning location on flamands beach, and is ideally orientated to its natural surroundings. The pools both overlook the ocean and one of the restaurants is actually set on the beach which makes for an extremely pleasant setting… The rooms themselves vary, we stayed in a garden suite, which was large and had its own pool. The garden rooms are very practical but if you are after something more spectacular and in-keeping with the rest of the hotel then the newer rooms are a material step up and so may be worth the additional cost.Overall we had an excellent and highly personalized stay – this was our third stay at a Cheval Blanc hotel and the company continues to excel in offering truly luxurious hotels in spectacular settings. We look forwards to returning in future

We stayed here for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom suite for my family of 5. We rarely stay at a hotel more than once because as a family we like to experience new things. This place made us break our own rule. We stayed here for a 2nd year in a row. Last time was not a fluke. Sometimes the 2nd visit to a hotel doesn’t live up to our memories of the first visit. That was definitely not the case here. This year the hotel exceeded our previous expectations. This hotel is truly is a gem. I would highly recommend it. It’s the small things that they do that really make us wanting to come back over and over.
