About Pearl Beach Hotel
Pearl Beach Hotel is a 14-room boutique hotel right on St-Jean Beach, a short walk from the island’s boutiques and restaurants. Rooms look onto the garden, and beachfront suites open onto the sand, each with a private terrace or patio.
What sets it apart is its location: it is one of the few small hotels directly on St-Jean Bay, close to the airport and the shops. It suits couples and travelers who want a simple, sociable beach base rather than a large resort.
