Ownership
The FOLIO Collection provides Member-owners and their guests
generous and flexible usage rights in a private residence club with
five-star amenities and services in some of the most desirable
locations around the world.
Fractional ownership is the fastest growing segment of the luxury
private residence club industry. Ownership in FOLIO is the sensible
way to own extraordinary properties in unmistakable locations,
while avoiding the financial and maintenance burdens of
multi-million dollar second homes.
FOLIO Management
The FOLIO Collection management team is led by Nicholas
Crawley, one of Europe's finest hoteliers. He co-founded and
formerly served as Managing Director of Operations for the
London-based Scotsman Group. In 2000, the Scotsman Group

in Europe.
Prior to the Scotsman Group, Mr. Crawley headed the publicly
traded, UK based Regal Hotel Group, which started with seven
properties and grew to 120 superb hospitality properties.
FOLIO Management brings a wealth of luxury hospitality
experience to the FOLIO Collection assuring its Member-owners

"A beauty. The ten-acre resort stretches around one of the island's best beaches, the Baie des Flamands." - The New York Times
"The delightful Hotel St. Barth Isle de France is a panorama of bright whites and vivid blues... With the best beach of all the St. Barth hotels." - Conde Nast Traveler
"St. Barth is known for great food, great shopping and great beaches, but it is a wonder anyone can drag themselves away from the Isle de France." - British Vogue
"The hotel was small and perfect, and overlooking Baie des Flamands, a crescent of gold and blue and turquoise. The air smelt of gardenias. There was a spa which was as still as a Balinese temple... I picture us going back, year after year..." - The Times London
"The Hotel St. Barth Isle de France was a beauty... The 10-acre resort stretched around one of the island's best beaches, the Baie des Flamands. Many of its 33 rooms faced directly out on the water, as did most of its public spaces." - The New York Times
"The service is impeccable, overseen by a relaxed management who count a large number of guests as friends." - Nast Traveller
"Exclusive and expensive but utterly charming, thanks in no small part to [the proprietor's] rapport with his guests, who return to the hotel year after year." - Vogue
"Apologies to all those who thought St. Barth was their own little secret, but I have to tell you it's bliss, heaven on earth, paradise found... There's really no point in going anywhere else ever again... Staying at the Hotel St. Barth Isle de France, I was happy as a clam. In a career devoted to the pointy end of luxury, I may have just peaked..." - Tatler
"Some time in the last six months, the spa wars got even hotter. The latest salvo is fired this month by the opening of the first ever Spa at the Hotel St. Barth Isle de France. Therapists use the fine white sand from the Baie des Flamands beach mixed with local frangipani flower extracts." - British Airways, January 2003
"La Case de l'Isle is one of the best restaurants on the island. I had the best seafood dinner of my life: Lobster ravioli, grilled sea bass and a crisp pouilly fume." - Telegraph Travel, November 2002
"It has one of the best restaurants anywhere... Silver candlesticks and wonderful cuisine in an intimate restaurant just 20 feet above a combed and groomed beach – what that would do for you after a hard day at the office." - Mail on Sunday, April 2002
"St. Barth is... rich, chic, and a popular destination for the international jet set." - Evening Standard, May 2002
"The Isle de France is a delightful boutique hotel, built in the gingerbread style of the Colonial Caribbean... A modern Nantucket-meets-St. Tropez style of harmonised simplicity. - Mail on Sunday, May 2002
"One of the Top Ten Small Island Hotels in the World." - Conde Nast Traveller, Reader's Choice Awards, 2001
