The island was named by Columbus after his brother, Bartolomeo, and is considered by many to be the most beautiful island in the Caribbean.

    Today, it is a French colony and offers a great combination of pristine white-sand beaches, calm turquoise waters, stylish accommodation and – perhaps unsurprisingly - good restaurants.

  • Night Life, with a French Touch

    The night owls will find in St. Barths a wide choice of bars, clubs and various venues for some sleepless nights. First, the many tasty restaurants are inimitable charm of your choice: some have a lounge bar open for drinks or after dinner, others come alive with the sound of local bands to satisfy visitors wanting enjoy the pleasures of late (K'Fé Massai in Lorient, Ti St Barth in Pointe Milou, the Bonito in Gustavia).

    Then there are the "night clubs" where you can drink, have fun and dance till dawn at the trendy music: the Yacht Club with its "Live Screen Concerts" Casa Nikki in Gustavia, Etc.. In short, an embarrassment of choice for some sleepless nights for an evening and watered. But in Saint Barth, parties with friends in villas are also well hidden of the best nights.




  • The Saline Beach

    The path leading to Saline Beach is short but can be a bit tricky; however, it is well worthwhile especially if you enjoy nude sunbathing (head to the left of the path for the unofficial naturist section of the beach).

    There's no services or shade on the beach, however, so even if you leave your swimsuit at home be sure to bring your own food, drinks, umbrellas and chairs. Windier and a bit rougher than some other St. Barths beaches, so be careful if you swim on this unprotected beach.

  • The Colombier Beach

    Colombier Beach tends to be one of St. Barths' most deserted stretches of sand because it can only be reached by boat from Gustavia or via a half-hour hike from Flamands Beach.

    Also known as Rockefeller Beach, Colombier is worlds away from the island's bustling capital, with calm waters, good snorkeling, and privacy aplenty.

    It does lack services, however, so bring plenty of drinks, snacks, and other beach supplies if you plan to spend the day. Locals often camp overnight here, as well.
