It’s the most glamorous place in the Caribbean — St Barth, the tiny French Caribbean wonderland home to breathtaking beaches, out-of-this-world food and the buzzy energy of the Riviera in the heart of the West Indies. 

And one of the best ways to experience St Barth is in a villa, where you can savor all of the island’s signature experiences while also enjoying unmatched luxury and privacy (particularly if you’re on the island for events like the Caribbean Rum Awards St Barth or the St Barth Gourmet Festival).

As the island’s tourism boom continues, several new villas have hit the market, from modern stunners to petite honeymoon retreats.

Here are the eight hottest new villas to try in St Barth, according to the experts at WIMCO, St Barth’s leading villa provider.
