GYP SEA Hotel Saint Barth: Bohemian-Chic Paradise on the Shores of Pelican Beach
Welcome to GYP SEA Hotel Saint Barth, a stylish and soul-filled escape nestled on the tranquil shores of Plage du Pélican in Saint Barthélemy. Designed for barefoot luxury seekers, creative minds, and sun lovers, GYP SEA redefines Caribbean hospitality with its boho-chic ambiance, vibrant beach club, and an experience centered around freedom, fun, and island flair.
Formerly known as TOM BEACH Hotel, the revamped GYP SEA Hotel is part of the Maisons & Hôtels Sibuet collection—bringing a touch of French Riviera elegance to the Caribbean coast. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel that blends tropical vibes with a laid-back party spirit, GYP SEA is your ideal St. Barts home base.
🌴 Location: St. Jean’s Lesser-Known Gem – Plage du Pélican
GYP SEA Hotel enjoys an exclusive location along Pelican Beach, a secluded cove at the quieter end of the famed St. Jean Bay. This gives you the best of both worlds: proximity to the lively beach scene of Nikki Beach and Eden Rock, with the peaceful privacy of your own bohemian hideaway.
Just a short drive from Gustaf III Airport and the boutiques of Gustavia, GYP SEA offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and nightlife—all while feeling like a tropical world of its own.
🛏️ Accommodations: Vibrant Suites with Island Soul
At GYP SEA Hotel, each of the 7 uniquely designed suites embodies a spirit of wanderlust and artistic expression. Think colorful decor, patterned textiles, handcrafted furniture, and natural materials like wood, straw, and linen. These rooms don’t just welcome you—they inspire you.
Every suite includes:
- King-size bed with crisp linens
- Private garden or terrace
- Outdoor shower or soaking tub
- High-speed Wi-Fi & air conditioning
- Access to the beach in seconds
Lush gardens surround the rooms, creating a sense of seclusion and serenity, even when the hotel is buzzing with energy. Whether you’re traveling solo or as a couple, the atmosphere is romantic, bohemian, and effortlessly cool.
🍽️ The Beach Club: GYP SEA St. Barth Restaurant & Lounge
The heart of the property is its iconic beach club and restaurant, a vibrant all-day destination for food, cocktails, music, and good times on the sand. The GYP SEA restaurant serves Mediterranean-Caribbean fusion cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, grilled seafood, and creative cocktails.
Menu favorites include:
- Grilled lobster with passionfruit butter
- Fresh tuna tataki and ceviche
- GYP SEA burger with local herbs
- Seasonal veggie platters from the chef’s garden
The restaurant and lounge come alive in the afternoon with a curated music lineup, from live acoustic sets to international DJs spinning chill house and sunset vibes. The result? A beach scene that’s relaxed, inclusive, and unmistakably St. Barth cool.
🍸 The Barbecue Shack: Caribbean Flavors by the Sea
Adjacent to the main restaurant is the Barbecue Shack, a more rustic and local experience where chefs grill fresh fish, meats, and vegetables over open flames. With sand under your feet and the scent of smoky mango wood in the air, this is the ultimate way to enjoy the island’s culinary traditions.
Don’t miss:
- Jerk chicken with plantains
- Grilled mahi-mahi with lime
- Caribbean rice & beans
- House-made tropical hot sauce
Pair your plate with a Ti’ Punch or frozen daiquiri, and let the sun do the rest.

Wellness highlights include:
- Private in-room massages
- Sunrise yoga sessions on the beach
