first class v ISLAND VIBE Like St. Barth’s, the island on which it resides, Le Sereno is a haven for sophisticated travelers. By ROBERT RAGAINI
The little isle of Saint Barthélemy in the northeastern Caribbean also known as St. Barth’s has a reputation for offering the height of luxury to the most discriminating travelers—though that opulence is not clearly evident at first blush. Anyone expecting the glitz of the Rue du Faubourg-Saint Honoré in Paris, Rome’s Via Condotti or Worth Avenue in Palm Beach may be disappointed. St. Barth’s stays true to its Gallic heritage with a tastefully chic aura, but it is like none of these places, at least not on the surface.
