The Romantic Tourist

View on map

Love at First Sight

Hotel Christopher is set on a hillside sloping down to the Caribbean Sea on the idyllic French island of Saint-Barthélemy. The island, generally called St Barths by English speakers, is just 10 square miles of dramatic mountains and tropical vegetation surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean and a succession of shallow reefs. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with an abundance of exotically fragrant blooms and features a gorgeous lagoon-style pool with an infinity edge overlooking the turquoise sea. The island's principal town of Gustavia, a lively place with plenty to entertain, is just 15 minutes away.

Romance

Relax by the pool with your loved one as you sip cocktails and watch yet another spectacular sunset and you'll feel at one with your beloved and with the world in this impossibly romantic destination. The hotel offers the Sisley Romance Package which includes a romantic dinner for two at the hotel's upmarket Taino Restaurant, a romantic beach picnic and a sunset cruise with an open bar. You'll also receive a one-hour couple's spa session to get you in the mood for love, a bottle of Champagne on arrival and a Sisley gift pack. The hotel is also happy to host your wedding and can cater for anything from small, intimate affairs to full-blown celebrations with dedicated planners on hand to help you with every detail.

Your Stay

The 42 rooms and suites are decorated with a pleasingly chic minimalism with touches of tropical island style and have private balconies with spectacular sea views. All come equipped with air conditioning, free wifi, 40-inch flatscreen TVs and DVD players. Other amenities include a complimentary welcome minibar (with charges for refills), tea and coffee making facilities, and digital safes.

What to Do

Spa Sisley offers a comprehensive selection of beauty and wellness treatments including Balinese, Ayurvedic and reflexology massages. If you're feeling active, the concierge can arrange a variety of exciting activities for you including scuba diving, parasailing, water skiing and sailing. Take a trip into Gustavia where you'll find designer boutiques, colourful cafes and some excellent restaurants as well as the ruins of historic Fort Gustave.

The Food of Love

Taino, overlooking the pool, offers an innovative French-Caribbean menu with dishes like pan-seared scallops with crispy black pudding, pigeon breast stuffed with smoked foie gras, and liquorice blancmange with red fruit jelly. Mango offers casual dining with a selection of snacks and salads as well as more substantial dishes.
