WELLNESS WELCOME
Tradewind, makes a steep, slow glide into the Saint Barthélemy airport. The Caribbean island, cloaked in dense flora and surrounded by crystal clear waters, unfolds before me. After this thrilling decent, we disembark and meet our driver, who takes us along a winding cliff road toward the northeast side of St. Barth to Rosewood Le Guanahani (which means welcome in Arawak, the island’s indigenous language). In a sensual accent, he shares the history behind this French-speaking West Indies island, famous for its white sandy beaches, luxury yachts, couture designer boutiques, and high-profile vacationers, from Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s to Beyoncé and Jay Z today.
