La Banane previously operated as a hotel before undergoing renovations and transitioning into a villa rental. Gone are its days as a sexy nightlife spot, now more of a secluded oasis for privacy-seeking travelers with money to spend. This of course includes the Kardashian family, who vacationed here in 2015.

When the Kardashian-Jenner family travels to the ultra-exclusive island of St. Barthélemy (St. Barths), they typically shun standard hotels in favor of sprawling, multi-million dollar private villas. Their most famous stay, documented on their reality show, was at Villa La Banane, a boutique property known for its retro-chic aesthetic and extreme privacy. However, in more recent years, they have been known to rent various ultra-luxury estates through high-end agencies like WIMCO Villas, often choosing properties in the secluded Eden Rock or Lurin areas that offer gated security and panoramic views of the Caribbean. For dining and socializing, they are frequently spotted at the Eden Rock - St Barths hotel and the Nikki Beach club. These villas often come with a full staff, including private chefs, security teams, and concierges, ensuring they can enjoy the island’s beauty away from the gaze of the paparazzi. When they aren't in a villa, they are often seen on massive superyachts anchored in the Gustavia harbor, which serves as a floating luxury hotel providing the ultimate level of seclusion and mobility around the island's pristine coves.
