St. Barth - as its legions of devotees attest, is one of the Caribbean’s most unique islands and a truly special destination. Situated in the French West Indies, it is indeed very French (and sexy and sophisticated) with some charming Swedish touches which originated from its interesting early history. A volcanic island, its serpentine roads banked with bougainvillea and hibiscus, wind through hillsides dotted with red-roofed villas and hotels and trail down to the beaches and hidden coves. There are panoramic vistas at every turn. Arrival - for all those who fly in, the St. Barth experience begins with that well-chronicled and slightly notorious landing in this tiny island’s tiny airport. It’s fun, exciting and very safe. However, whether you come by plane or boat, once on land you will easily slip into an ultimate relaxation mode. You have arrived.
Beaches – many visit a different beach each day. How about a hike and a secluded picnic? A swim au naturale? Although nude sunbathing is officially prohibited, folks at Grande Saline and Gouveneur often seem to have forgotten their suits (sshhh!) and going topless is common throughout. Perhaps lunch at lively St. Jean? Often compared to a mini-St.Tropez it’s the place to see and be seen for the plethora of beautiful people sunning, swimming and enjoying water sports. Golf? Non! Well, there is a driving range by a salt pond – for diehards Casinos? Non!!
Look! Isn’t that …. Since the advent of the first jet setters, St. Barth has been a favorite vacation spot of the rich and famous which is part of the island’s mystique .They frequent the chic bistros and shops and celebrity spotting is part of the fun. Dining - is a major component of a St. Barth vacation. The finest provisions are flown in daily from Paris and whether you choose one of the elegant hotel dining rooms, a feet-in-the-sand seaside café, or to dine-in at your villa, perhaps utilizing the services of one of the island’s private chefs, you are sure to have a memorable experience. The Nightlife – often begins with sunset cocktails, a veritable St. Barth tradition and then revolves around a leisurely dinner at one of the many exceptional restaurants. Some of these morph into a bar scene as the night progress and one can enjoy live music. There are a few discos, but all-in-all St. Barth’s nightlife is relatively low-key, which suits everyone fine as most people come for the island’s natural beauty, its uniquely Gallic culture and that oft-mentioned ambiance of casual sophistication. Throughout the year, there are a number of fun local festivals. Who Enjoys the St. Barth Experience ? - not just CEOs and rock stars, but honeymooners and “like-minded” couples. It’s romantic as all get-out. Groups of friends and gatherings of multi-generational families enjoying the island with all it has to offer and creating memories. St. Barth is special. You should come. Your Dream Vacation begins here. Contact us for information and to reserve a hotel, a villa with concierge services or to purchase a vacation home on the island. |
