Pink sand runs uninterrupted for miles along Barbuda’s southwest coast. The shoreline is flat and wide. Low vegetation stretches inland. There are no high-rise resorts and no dense hotel clusters. Now Nobu is moving deeper into that landscape, several years after opening the beachfront Nobu eatery and club on the island. Nobu Hospitality has announced […]
There’s a major new luxury hotel on tiny St. Barth: Villa Marie. The self styled “tropical chic” five-star property is the brainchild of the Sibuet family, whose Maisons and Hotels Sibuet label is on a host of hotels in the Alps (like Les Fermes de Marie in Megeve and Altapura in Val Thorens) and the […]
It’s home to one of the most luxurious resorts in the Caribbean: the Cheval Blanc St. Barth Isle de France, the only LVMH hotel in the Caribbean. But Flamands Beach is equally magnificent, a stretch of white sand beach and calm water that rivals any in the Caribbean. See what it’s like in the video […]
The joy of St. Barth is that, while it’s a tiny island, it’s full of tucked away spots, secluded beaches and romantic vistas. Just take a quick morning trip and you’ll have the sand all to yourself, like here at Marigot Beach.
The Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France in St Barth is set to reopen its doors for the season Oct. 15, with a host of new changes to unveil. The updates at the Flamands Beach standout include a major facelift at the La Cabane de l’Isle beach restaurant, from new lattice walls to Charles Zana-designed […]
GRAND CUL DE SAC — It’s early. Not morning, but not quite lunchtime. On a hot summer day in the French Caribbean, that means only one thing: a Ti’ Punch. The world’s greatest (and simplest) cocktail: Rhum agricole blanc, a quarter lime (or sometimes more), cane sugar. Sweet enough for this time of day, powerful […]
It’s the best-kept secret in St. Barth, and a rarefied hotel for travelers in the know. This is Hotel Le Village, perched on a hillside in St. Jean. It’s a hideaway hotel that is among our favorites, because you get all the best of St. Barth without the crowds and, more importantly, at a decidedly […]
It’s just about perfect. While St Barth is full of spectacular luxury hotels, one could argue that no hotel on this French Caribbean island blends food, spa, accommodations and the beach, better than Le Guanahani. This boutique property with just 67 rooms and suites is a colorful, decidedly Caribbean resort with inspired rooms and a […]
Home to superb hotels like the Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France, Flamands Beach is one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in St Barth. It’s often rather quiet, with the only sound the lap of the waves. This is what it’s like to walk on the beach.
St Barth may be small, but it’s got a disproportionately high number of beautiful beaches, from wave-crashing Atlantic strands to classic Caribbean powder-white shores. But for a exotic, marvelous beach, look no further than Anse de Grand Saline. It’s named after the salt pond nearby, but this beach is eternally sweet — it’s a wide, broad […]
The moment you arrive here, whether by ferry or airplane, you realize it’s not quite like any other island in the Caribbean. Indeed, tiny St Barth takes just about everything to a different level, from the shopping to the food to the hotels. And while it’s small, the jewel of the French Caribbean is also […]
It’s the most famous beach in St Barth, from Nikki Beach to Tom Beach to the Eden Rock to the Caribbean’s most scenic runway. Coming here is the quintessential St Barth experience — and it’s a rather spectacular beach in its own right. This is St Jean beach, and this is what it’s like to […]
