St Barth's Le Sereno Reopens 16 Nov With New Gardens and Beach Club

GRAND CUL-DE-SAC, St Barthélemy – November 02, 2026 -- Le Sereno, the all-suite waterfront hotel on St Barthélemy, reopens on 16 November 2026 after a three-year overhaul, with rates ranging from 1,550 to 18,600 EUR.

Owners Luis and Angelica Contreras led the project. Their earlier work includes the original Le Sereno design with Christian Liaigre and the later creation of Il Sereno on Lake Como. The update adds tropical gardens, redone suites, a pool area reworked with Patricia Urquiola and a new beach club, BOKAO.

Coconut palms now line the arrival

Guests enter through a living tunnel of coconut trees. Denys Ridrimont provided creative direction for the collection of gardens. Beside the new arrival area, with its tropical green walls, stands a Copernicia fallaensis. The palm spans more than ten meters and is believed to be the only specimen of its kind on the island.
