Caring for St Barths

As the first hotel established on the island, Eden Rock – St Barths has cherished and respected this precious Caribbean ecosystem for more than 70 years. Sustainability and environmental consciousness are woven into our day-to-day operations in ever deeper and more impactful ways, from how we manage water and waste to the suppliers we partner with and the local green initiatives we support. An Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel, we are active UN Global Compact signatories since 2014 and commit to upholding the Compact’s 10 principles in our strategic decisions.
We are proud of our legacy as an historic icon in St Barths and a unique and stylish purveyor of sustainable tourism in the Caribbean.

Say "Bonjour" to Eden Reef

Eden Rock-St Barths is pleased to introduce Eden

ecosystem, have partnered with local non-profit
organization INE (Island Nature St Barth

St Jean's Lagoon

Eden Rock – St Barths has led and financed part of the renovation of the surrounding St Jean Pond in the framework of a Public Private Partnership with the local government. The one-kilometer boardwalk circling the lagoon is an ideal area to walk and admire the countless numbers of wild bird life and fish life now enjoying the wilderness of the lagoon.

Hydroponic Garden

Eden Rock-St Barths has constructed an on-site indoor hydroponic growing system. The grow house produces a large portion of the greens that the hotel serves at the Sand Bar - from thyme, rosemary, coriander, basil, chilis, mint to cherry tomatoes…

Michael Matthews Foundation: MMF

Mike died high on the mountain whilst descending from the summit of Mount Everest. This around May 13th 1999. Much loved and respected for his fully occupied way of working and living life Mike would have approved of what now is being delivered to children in his name in Nepal and Tanzania.

Around five thousand students are now part of the MMF better schooling program. These are children born with nil privilege living in remote areas and who without a helping hand are unlikely to receive an adequate education.

Mike Matthews Foundation (MMF) builds schools or builds better in order to improve existing ones. In some cases residential dormitories have been added which has resulted in real gains following more personal time and so better learning.

The Matthews Family pay the running costs of MMF. Every penny of incoming funding is spent directly helping children.

Be kind to help and Thank You if you do.
