A storied hideaway perched on the iconic rock in sunny St Barths. In 1950, Rémy de Haenen purchases the rocky promontory and builds a hotel upon it, gambling on the island’s potential as a dream destination. David and Jane Matthews and family purchase the property in 1995 from Rémy De Haenen and restore the buildings, constructing new additions and designing enhanced amenities that preserve De Haenen’s eccentric taste and zest for life. In 2014, the Matthews family partners with Oetker Hotels to manage Eden Rock – St Barths. After an extensive, two-year rebuild following Hurricane Irma, the hotel reopens in 2019 to extraordinary fanfare.
WhAT to SEE
Relax on or explore the beaches — Spots like Colombe’er Beach, Grande Saline, Gouverneur, and St‑Jean are known for their soft sands, clear water, and beautiful settings.
Stroll Gustavia — The capital is charming with its designer boutiques, waterfront cafés, colonial architecture, and views from hills like the site of Fort Karl.
Go snorkeling, diving, or take boat trips — The waters around St Barts have vibrant reefs and marine life; a boat excursion can also reveal secluded coves and less accessible beaches.
Enjoy the culinary scene — Because of its French influence, Saint Barts combines Caribbean flavors with haute cuisine. Trying fresh seafood, local specialties (like accras or “torment d’amour”), and fine dining are must‑dos.
Watch the planes land at Gustaf III Airport & viewpoints — The airport has one of the most dramatic short runway landings, which people like to see. Also, climb to vantage points like the lighthouse or forts (e.g. Fort Karl) for sweeping views over the bays and coast.
