Gyp Sea

St Barths

A bohemian Caribbean hideaway with villas, beach houses and effortless French island charm

At a glance

Perched on the lush hills of Colombier overlooking the Bay of Flamands, Gyp Sea St Barths is a colourful boutique retreat that blends French Art de Vivre with laid-back Caribbean spirit. The hotel’s collection of bungalows and villas sit within tropical gardens, where natural textures, vintage pieces and vibrant design create a relaxed, bohemian feel.

The experience extends beyond the hillside setting, with access to the Gyp Sea Beach Club on Saint-Jean Beach, just ten minutes away via complimentary shuttle. Here, days are spent between turquoise waters, beachside dining and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
