Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa: A Sustainable Hotel in St. Barts

15-Jan-2024

In the heart of the Caribbean jewel, St Barts, where azure waters meet pristine sands, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa is a sustainable hotel testament to the harmonious coexistence of luxury and environment. Every endeavor at Le Barthélemy is guided by a profound respect and love for our island home, St Barts.

We recognize that being part of this community involves caring for it. Thus, we diligently weave sustainability into the fabric of every moment, championing the preservation and protection of our surroundings. Our philosophy aligns with partnerships dedicated to conserving St Barts's precious bay and ecosystem, exemplified by our collaborations with Coral Restoration and Island Nature Experiences.

Coral Restoration

The Coral Restoration program in St Barts aims to repopulate reef areas with genetically reinforced coral species, contributing to replenishing our ocean's vital ecosystems. Our financial support enabled a more significant impact and embraced the opportunity to participate in its maintenance actively.

You can also get involved by adopting a coral, taking on the role of ecosystem protector, and financially supporting ongoing research, conservation initiatives, and planting processes. By joining the Adopt a Coral program, you will receive a personalized certificate acknowledging your support and explicitly naming the coral you choose to adopt.

Island Nature Experiences: Preserving Our Marine Heritage

Our collaboration with the Environmental Territorial Agency, also known as ATE, extends to supporting the preservation of marine turtles and the maintenance of the Grand Cul-de-Sac turtle hatchery. A portion of every reservation contributes to these efforts, emphasizing our commitment to sustaining the delicate balance of St Barts's natural wonders.

Eco-Conscious Design and Sustainable Practices

Le Barthélemy's initiatives stem from eco-conscious hotel construction, emphasizing open-air architecture, natural lighting, and solar energy utilization. Our commitment to sustainable practices extends to using locally sourced organic materials, such as carved stone and wood, organic cotton linens, and an increasing percentage (currently at 60%) of eco-friendly amenities in our rooms. 

The ethos of Le Barth revolves around embracing and safeguarding the island's flora and fauna. Our property utilizes organic fertilizers, eco-friendly cleaning products, reef-safe sunscreen, and lotions. We employ desalination for water use, ensuring an eco-conscious approach.

Philosophy Zero Waste: A Gourmet Eco-Experience

Led by Chef Jérémy Czaplicki at our seaside restaurant, Amis St. Barth, our culinary approach embraces zero-waste principles. Over the past seven years, we've implemented actions such as using every ingredient, from bone to peel, for stocks and butter. Additionally, we cultivate our vegetables and spices, fostering a sustainable and low-impact gourmet experience.

Eco-Friendly To-Go Packaging: Bidding Adieu to Plastic

Nestled between the bay and the sea, we are vigilant about anything that could harm our waterways. Our to-go cups and straws are crafted from eco-responsible, low-impact materials like recycled paper, bidding farewell to plastic.

Ethical Gifting: Sustainably Luxurious

Our commitment to sustainability extends to every corner of Le Barthélemy, including the thoughtful gifts in our rooms. Each recyclable and eco-responsible gift reflects our dedication to sustainable luxury, with 60% of in-room amenities sourced from ethical and eco-friendly labels.

Green Cleaning Practices

Since 2017, our laundry products have been eco-certified, resulting in a 60% reduction in cleaning product usage between 2017 and 2023. This commitment to green cleaning ensures efficient room maintenance with minimal ecological impact.

Water Conservation: Eco-Conscious Responsibility

In line with strict EU guidelines, all bathroom sinks and showers are equipped with aerators to reduce water consumption. Greywater from our rooms and restaurants is internally filtered, treated, and reused to nourish our gardens, completing the circle of responsible water usage.

Our Sustainable Hotel in St. Barts Awaits You With Open Arms

As part of this island paradise, we invite you to participate in the actions of our sustainable hotel. Join us in these endeavors, witness eco-luxury, and experience the beauty of St. Barts at Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa. Embrace sustainability with us, with a profound love for our Caribbean oasis.
