Gyp Sea St Barth: Hotel in Saint-Barthélemy

Under the sun of Gyp Sea, bohemian spirit finds a home in Saint-Barth

Suspended between sky and sea, Gyp Sea Hotel sits high above the Flamands Bay, while its Beach Houses unfold along the iconic sands of Saint-Jean. Far from the crowds, this Caribbean gem blends raw nature, tropical softness, and endless turquoise hues. In this peaceful atmosphere where time slows down, palms sway in the breeze, the crystalline waters beckon, and the white sand gently warms your feet. Gyp Sea Saint-Barth embodies a rare and radiant idea of effortless, soulful luxury.

After reinventing the Alps and the Mediterranean, the Sibuet family brings its signature vision to Saint-Barthélemy: infusing hotels with character and emotion. True to their “maison” philosophy, Gyp Sea is crafted as a destination in itself, combining the boho Gypset spirit with the understated elegance of the Sibuet style. Every detail, every service, every atmosphere is orchestrated to create an immersive, joyful, and deeply transportive experience. Whether lounging by the sea, sipping aged rum at dusk, or dining under lanterns, each moment feels like freedom rediscovered.

The architecture at Gyp Sea embraces the Caribbean heritage with a modern twist. Traditional Creole verandas frame the buildings, surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Shells, driftwood, vintage bamboo furniture, handpicked décor from around the world, and vibrant fabrics compose a poetic, living interior. Every corner evokes travel and exotic charm, blending colonial, Creole, and bohemian influences. Soft pastels, natural materials, and artisanal touches create a warm and harmonious retreat.

Gyp Sea offers 20 uniquely styled bungalows and villas, some with private pools or jacuzzis, each named evocatively: Hibiscus, Bleu Parrot, Coco Passion… With bleached walls, vibrant canopy beds, shell chandeliers, pineapple-shaped tables, and handcrafted rattan furniture, every room is a haven of chic. Outdoors, each private terrace opens onto lush greenery and breathtaking lagoon views. The 4 Gyp Sea Beach Houses are true beachfront cocoons, with a cozy Caribbean cottage feel, complete with private pools and gardens — the ultimate barefoot luxury. They are located on St Jean beach, next to the beach club, around ten minutes from the hotel.

The beachfront Gyp Sea restaurant offers a refined take on barbecue cuisine in a setting as relaxed as it is stylish. The food is sunny, seasonal, and generous: grilled watermelon, lobster with preserved lemon, smoked catch of the day, Colombo-roasted vegetables, caramelized tropical fruits… Almost everything meets the fire. The raw wood furniture, tie-dye cushions, and spiced aromas create a dreamlike backdrop for a lazy lunch or festive dinner. To top it all off, the Rum Bar serves up tropical cocktails, Caribbean rums, and breezy calypso playlists until the sun dips below the horizon.

The outdoor lagoon-style pool is nestled within the gardens, offering a refreshing escape amidst a vibrant palette of exotic blooms. From neroli massages to jasmine after-sun rituals and signature treatments with coconut oil and Edelweiss Elixir, the Pure Altitude Spa provides a truly sensory experience. Tucked within the tropical gardens, it features two treatment rooms, a fitness studio, and a lagoon pool surrounded by lush flora. Yoga, in-room treatments, paddleboarding, and snorkeling complete the wellness offering. A restorative sanctuary where guests reconnect with themselves and nature.

At the far end of the legendary Saint-Jean Beach, Gyp Sea Beach captures the hotel’s sunny, free-spirited soul. Here, barefoot bohemia reigns, with a ti-punch in hand and a Caribbean DJ set in the air. In a palette of blues and sun-bleached woods, the decor evokes a raw, relaxed coastal chic: soft banquettes, tie-dye pillows, and breezy vibes invite elegant idleness. Paddleboarding, napping under the palms, or dancing in the sand — Gyp Sea Beach Club is a joyful celebration of life by the sea. As golden hour approaches, families gather for coconut sorbets, children build ephemeral sandcastles, and couples savor the sunset from their loungers. The mood is festive yet intimate, just like the island itself. The hotel offers a shuttle service on request between the hotel and St Jean beach. Sun loungers are provided for hotel guests.

At Gyp Sea Saint-Barth, every moment hums like a summer song: joyful, free, unforgettable. The ultimate escape for anyone dreaming of a Caribbean both stylish and carefree.
