Cheval Blanc Isle de France, St. Barths

A favorite since its previous incarnation, this signature St. Barths property remains at the top of our list due to its stunning setting, top-level service and clean, crisp guest rooms. We'd be remiss not to mention the onsite boutique, whose annual sales rival that of a big-city department store, and midday fashion show that delights their dining patrons to no end - just ask my husband.
