The 10 Most Sustainable Hotels in St. Barts

The island of St Barth has ideal sunshine throughout the year. in order to make full use of this sunshine, the Manapany Hotel transforms this solar energy to produce hot water.

The resort’s water network, autonomous in both its supply and treatment, does not diffuse any wastewater into nature.

We favor using eco-friendly products and methods such as steam cleaning and biodegradable detergents both for the rooms and the laundry.

The resort produces its own water and only electric cars are used to get around the 4.2- acre property. No chemicals are used in cleaning and maintenance, only steam and natural products. All hotel towels are made from bamboo, with only natural fibers.

Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth is committed to creating a unique, luxurious and natural experience that helps to sustain the planet, conserve wildlife and habitats, and reduce carbon emissions. The hotel has developed a long-range plan for preserving and protecting the land and sea surrounding the hotel. The initiative will also create programs that allow guests to get up-close-and-personal with the natural surroundings – from wildlife viewing and monitoring to educational and restoration-oriented activities.

Reduce our use of water and energy
Our entire property is working toward decreasing our use of water and energy by 2%.

Decrease pollution
We hope to decrease by 2% our production of trash and greenhouse gases related to our professional travel. Our goal is also to stock 100% of our chemical products in a secure manner.

Make eco-responsible purchases
Eventually, the goal is to have at least 40% of our cleaning products be environmentally friendly, and use 75% of eco-labeled paper. We are also committed to increasing the percentage of our food products that come from eco-responsible sources.

Preserve local biodiversity.
We contribute continually to the development of the Biorock project, which strives to protect the coral reef in Lorient bay. We also want to preserve the biodiversity of local flora by planting species that are endemic to the Lesser Antilles and fight against invasive exotic species.
