The decidedly and intentionally low-key Emeraude Plage is a delightful spot and a favorite of savvy St. Barth travelers. Many return again and again and relish its ocean front setting on St. Jean Beach, its casual ambiance, and we’d guess its proximity to the St. Jean Village. Staying at Emeraude Plage means never having to hunt for a parking spot in the so chic and so popular little town, with its wealth of bistros and trendy boutiques.

Accommodations here consist of 24 bungalows, 2 cottages and a villa charmingly laid out, together with the reception area and a library. They form two semi-circles amidst a lovely tropical garden – oleander and bougainvillea galore. You will find everything well appointed; the bedrooms and baths are spacious and they offer all the standard amenities for your convenience. Each unit includes a full-equipped kitchenette to provide you that nice option of quietly dining in – or alfresco on your private terrace. The Emeraude Plage makes for the ideal get-away-from-it-all retreat.

The A, B and C room groups were recently refurbished and the D and E room groups as well as the villa were completely renovated, redesigned and ready when the hotel reopened October 23, 2006. They are truly fantastic!

We love the beachfront Club Eau de Mer; it’s very “old St. Barth” with its yellow traditional St. Jean stone. It’s the perfect spot for lunch, cocktails and noshing and a little socializing with your fellow guests.

A Few of Our Favorite Things

• The well-stocked library. The Emeraude Plage is the sort of place you could find yourself doing a lot of delicious reading on the beach.
• Being able to stroll back to our digs after a great dinner in St. Jean topped off with vanilla rum
