Celebrating the start of a new season, Le Sereno welcomes travellers back to St. Barths premium retreat, offering unmatched Caribbean elegance and world-class service

Le Sereno, once again ranked as one of the top resorts in the Caribbean by Condé Nast Traveller, reopens for the season on 30th October 2025, inviting guests to experience unparalleled beachfront luxury and effortless St. Barths elegance.

Perched along the pristine waters of St. Barths Grand Cul-de-Sac, Le Sereno continues to set the standard for refined Caribbean escapes. Guests enjoy the perfect harmony of elevated comfort, personalised service, and the island’s stunning natural surroundings. 

Le Sereno is an intimate beachfront hotel with 39 suites and three large four-bedroom villas. Providing superior design and style for which Sereno Hotels is known for, Le Sereno offers an elevated island experience with an understated luxury and laid-back attitude. Le Sereno is located at the east end of St. Barths and stretches along 180 meters (600 feet) of sandy beach on picturesque Grand Cul-de-Sac – a marine reserve with turquoise waters on the northern side of the island protected from the waves by a coral reef.  

Situated in iconic waterfront locales, the hotels’ unique accommodations featuring standout design by the legendary Patricia Urquiola and Christian Liaigre alongside its impeccable service, world-class dining led by celebrated chefs, and standout amenities and offerings, including top-rated beach club and Europe’s first shoppable penthouse suite, have once again inspired readers to rank Sereno Hotels among the best in the world. Located in two of the most coveted holiday destinations in the world, Sereno Hotels is the private creator, owner and operator of award-winning properties Le Sereno, Le Sereno Villas and Ristorante al Mare in St. Barth and Il Sereno Lago di Como, Villa Pliniana and Ristorante al Lago in Lake Como. The brand is renowned for carrying through the themes of an intimate number of oversized rooms and suites, incredible and iconic views, large Villas adjacent to the hotels, and a distinctive, understated approach to luxury and service.  

Consistently an award-winning brand, Le Sereno and Il Sereno have repeatedly achieved top international accolades including recognition from Travel + Leisure World’s Best Award 2023 ‘No.1 Resort in Italy and No. 4 Hotel in the World’, to Conde Nast Traveller Reader’s Choice Award 2022 ‘No.1 Hotel in Italy’. Also recognised by Conde Nast Traveller for Le Sereno Al Mare ‘Best Beach Clubs in the World’ and selected as a ‘Best of’ hotel by Architectural Digest (2022) and Vogue (2021). Sereno Hotels is a member of Leading Hotels of the World and Virtuoso Travel Network.  

‘Each year brings new opportunities to delight our guests, and we’re looking forward to an extraordinary season filled with returning friends and first-time visitors alike,’ said Luis Contreras, owner of Sereno Hotels. ‘The loyalty of our guests is a true testament to the unique experience Le Sereno offers, and we are thrilled to welcome them back.’ 

As part of its seasonal preparations, Le Sereno has enhanced its iconic beachfront along Grand Cul-de-Sac by extending both the depth and width of its sandy area, creating a more expansive and inviting shoreline for guests. This carefully planned project was carried out with a deep commitment to the natural biology of the lagoon, ensuring that marine life and the delicate coastal ecosystem remain undisturbed. By balancing luxury with environmental stewardship, Le Sereno continues to offer guests an idyllic beach experience while honouring the island’s unique natural beauty. 

Le Sereno’s spa also reopens for the season, unveiling a sanctuary of bespoke wellness and indulgence. This year, guests can experience an exclusive new treatment by Valmont, the Swiss skincare authority celebrated for its transformative rituals and innovative techniques. The spa now offers the Face Gua Sha Massage, an intensive Gua Sha treatment combined with Elixir des Glacier’s Huile Majestueuse, designed to instantly firm and illuminate the skin. From revitalising facials to restorative body therapies, each treatment is meticulously crafted to nurture the senses and enhance natural radiance. Set against the backdrop of the Caribbean’s crystalline waters, Le Sereno’s spa offers an unparalleled escape. Together, Executive Michelin-starred Chef Raffaele Lenzi and Resident Chef Davide Mosca have created a delicious contemporary Italian culinary experience, focused on local and freshly imported ingredients from Italy at Le Sereno’s restaurant, Al Mare. The restaurant’s fully open-air concept offers a view of the water from almost every angle, and serves customer favourites, such as Spaghetti with Lobster and Veal Cutlet ‘alla Milanese’. 

Celebrated for its refined design, intimate atmosphere, and discreet yet impeccable service, Le Sereno has become a coveted retreat for discerning travellers seeking the ultimate Caribbean escape. Guests can indulge in expansive suites overlooking turquoise waters, savour exquisite cuisine crafted with the finest local and international ingredients, and experience personalised touches that elevate every moment of their stay.
