Pointe Milou
Pointe Milou is known for its dramatic sunset views, luxury cliffside villas, and the lively nightlife of Le Ti St Barth. Perched on the island’s north-eastern cliffs, Pointe Milou offers a perfect balance between privacy and vibrancy. Its villas sit in peaceful areas that look out over the sea. The legendary Christopher Hotel brings refined dining and spa treatments to the area outside your vacation rental’s door. Here you’ll find a place where romance, seclusion, and spectacle converge.
Beaches
Pointe Milou itself is defined more by sweeping vistas more than it is by sandy shores, but people staying in the villa rentals of this area can easily access the surrounding beaches in other neighbourhoods by car. Lorient Beach is only minutes away, beloved by surfers and early-morning swimmers. Marigot Beach, in contrast, is a tranquil bay where calm waters invite snorkelling in a serene setting. A short drive leads to Saint-Jean Beach, where chic energy, beach clubs, and shallow turquoise waters make up the most lively shoreline on the island.
Fine Dining & Beach Clubs
The Christopher Hotel is a popular spot in Pointe Milou for fine dining. Its restaurant, La Plage du Christo, delivers a toes-in-the-sand experience with fresh, local seafood and a relaxed yet stylish beachside atmosphere. Michelin-starred chef, Christopher Coutanceau, brings refined, ocean-inspired dishes crafted with sustainable seafood to this elegant setting. The nearby neighbourhoods of Saint-Jean and Lorient offer everything from iconic beach clubs such as Nikki Beach to casual boulangeries.
