St. Barth
Nestled above the rocky shoreline on the magnificent bay of Pointe Milou, Hotel Christopher has long been a refuge for those in the know on St. Barth for its understated elegance. The only hotel on St. Barth to receive a Green Globe Certification, the property supports a coral reef restoration project just off its shores. Their constant commitment to the environment, local community, and well-being of its employees make them an ideal fit for REYA’s portfolio of luxury eco-conscious clients.
The luxury hotel’s 42 spacious rooms & suites and the three 4-bedrooms villas all enjoy panoramic views of the ocean. Its Sisley Spa with five oceanfront treatment rooms was named the best Caribbean spa and best spa in St. Barth in 2022 by the World Spa Awards. Meanwhile, its RIVYERA restaurant provides a unique culinary escapade inspired by the Mediterranean and created by the two Michelin-Star Chef Arnaud Faye.
“It’s always inspiring when legacy hotel brands make the commitment to evolve to offer their guests a more sustainable stay while operating more responsibly. Going into our fourth year as an agency, we continue to be proud of our growing portfolio of mindful clients. The Christopher Hotel and El Camino strengthen that commitment further.'' says REYA’s co-founder, Alexandra Avila.
