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.
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 […]
Is this the perfect St Barth beach? Gouverneur Beach has it all: powder-white sand, sparkling turquoise water, sweeping cliffs … and it’s often got far less traffic than some of its more popular counterparts. That means it isn’t just beautiful — it’s tranquil. In other words, the perfect beach for an afternoon stroll.

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 […]
It’s early morning on one of the best beaches in St Barth – Grand Cul de Sac Beach, home to several of the island’s top hotels and a rather good beach bar called O’ Corail. Here’s what it’s like.
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.
It’s perhaps the best way to experience St Barth: staying in a villa. And the island’s leading villa management firm, St Barth Properties, has announced the addition of two new villas to their ever-expanding portfolio: Villa Shadowfax and Villa La Lune. Villa Shadowfax is a three-bedroom property located in the area of Flamands, with views […]
