It seems like Valentine’s Day now embraces almost the whole month of February. We are regaled with images of hearts and cupids and tempted to splurge on decadent chocolates, ooh & ahh jewelry and gourmet dinners complete with Champagne. You know, it’s pretty nice keeping a romantic state of mind, and we think St. Barth is romantic as can be. So what better time than February to plan your winter getaway? Think about sipping rosé in the shade of a palm tree, dining under the stars and canoodling in a gently swaying hammock in your private villa. And as for chocdivolate, Champagne and to-die-for dinners, we’ve got you covered – not to mention recommendations for jewelry shops filled with exquisite treasures. Take a peek at some of our romantic villas and then contact our villa specialists via reservations@stbarth.com. They would love to help you. And as always, our concierge team is ready to up your vacation’s romance quotient.
I hope to see you – and your significant other – on the island.

P.S. We love to hear from our clients, and recently we received an amazing and beautifully detailed letter – really a trip report – from a first-time visitor. I loved it so much that I shared it on my blog. Take a read and take a minute to subscribe. Thanks!

Our idea of a perfectly romantic day in St. Barth:
We sadly share the news that on the evening of February 17, a fire broke out in the Christopher Hotel’s Taïno restaurant. The good news is that it was effectively battled and there were no injuries. The hotel was scheduled for their post-Irma reopening on the 20th of this month and that has now been delayed. Fortunately. the hotel itself, its Mango Beach Club restaurant, spa and other buildings were not impacted. A whole new Taïno, is already in the planning stages and the hotel looks to reopen in April. We’ll keep everyone updated.
We are pleased to announce the reopening of our 5 star hotel partner Villa Marie Saint-Barth on March 2, 2018. Poised hillside in Colombier, their chic accommodations include stunning new villas. Contact one of our villa and hotel specialists at reservations@stbarth.com to book your stay. Make sure to ask about their amenity-laden packages.
