While many top resorts around the Caribbean have offerings geared toward young children, one Puerto Rico luxury hotel has launched a new experienced aimed at teenage guests.

It’s called The Boathouse Club, and it’s the newest idea from the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Puerto Rico.

The club includes offerings like a zip lining adventure in the El Yunque rainforest, nature photography workshops, camping experiences in bird sanctuaries, evening kayak nature tours and movie nights on the beach, among others.

The new club complements the hotel’s existing Iguana Club for kids.

FLAMANDS — There are beach restaurants and there are beach restaurants.

This is the latter.

It’s a cool, breezy summer night on the Flamands sand in St Barth, home to one of the island’s greatest eateries: La Case de l’Isle.

This is the signature restaurant at perhaps the signature hotel in St Barth: the Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France, LVMH’s only Caribbean hotel, which opened under the new branding at the end of 2014.

Here, executive Chef Yann Vinsot has put together a superb menu that marries French gastronomic excellence which has become the standard on the island with a light, French Caribbean touch.

Crispy soft egg with passionfruit foam.

That brings spectacular dishes like steamed toothfish with yuzu; a crispy soft egg with sweet potato foam and passionfruit sauce; and local lobster medallions with grapefruit and grilled avocado.

It’s joined by a broad list of more than 150 French wines (and a nice selection of rums, too).

It’s a meal without which any trip to St Barth is simply incomplete.
