Hotel Manapany: A Vibrant Eco-Luxury Escape in Saint Barthélemy
Nestled in the idyllic surroundings of Saint Barthélemy, Hotel Manapany by François Champsaur redefines island luxury with a vibrant, eco-conscious approach. This stunning resort effortlessly blends contemporary design with the island’s natural beauty, creating a modern retreat that celebrates colour, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
Inspired by the island’s breathtaking landscape—turquoise waters, lush greenery, and pristine white sands—Champsaur infuses Hotel Manapany with a striking coastal palette of blues, whites, greens, and browns. These hues, accented by playful pops of colour and rich textures, imbue a refreshing energy into the traditional island villa aesthetic. The resort’s 43 cottages, including a Creole villa and a beach house, reflect a refined yet relaxed design ethos, offering guests an immersive experience in contemporary Caribbean luxury.
Champsaur’s vision extends beyond aesthetics, embracing sustainable design principles that respect the island’s unique ecosystem. His approach seamlessly integrates the resort with its surroundings, drawing from the vernacular habitat—wooden decks, pergolas, and shuttered windows—while incorporating natural materials such as wood, stone, and cement to create a tactile, organic feel.
Throughout the interiors, handmade décor adds a layer of artisanal charm. Braided rope mirrors, wool-upholstered benches, and straw lamps sourced from Brazil demonstrate a commitment to craftsmanship and authenticity. The resort is further grounded in sustainability with solar panels, electric vehicles, and flourishing orchards of lemon, orange, banana, avocado, mango, and soursop, reinforcing a deep connection to the land.
Renowned for its world-class luxury properties and status as a premier travel destination, Saint Barthélemy continues to attract discerning travellers seeking exclusivity and elegance. Hotel Manapany not only upholds this tradition but elevates it with a fresh, modern interpretation of island luxury—where bold design converges with environmental responsibility.
For those seeking to indulge in a one-of-a-kind tropical escape, Hotel Manapany is a vibrant celebration of contemporary craftsmanship, nature-inspired elegance, and forward-thinking sustainability.
