St. Barts welcomes you with open arms. This serene and beautiful beach destination has long been the secret escape of the rich and famous. Full of glamour and glitz, it still retains its soul and Caribbean warmth. Come and see what St. Barts has to offer.

Boasting countless beaches, it may be a challenge for you to choose which ones you’ll visit. From the serene to the extreme this island has it all. While you’re out soaking up the rays St. Barts is known for (it hardly ever rains here), try out high-adrenaline water sports like kite surfing or jet skiing. Scuba diving and snorkeling are also popular endeavors as this gorgeous island is home to a flourishing population of underwater wildlife. If these activities leave you yearning for peace and quiet at the end of the day, there’s nothing quite like a sunset sail on the blue silk that is the Caribbean sea.

St. Barts is known for its shopping scene as well. You’ll enjoy strolling along the delightful and picturesque streets lined with high-end stores as you contemplate your next purchase in this duty-free paradise . The local art scene is an excellent place to find an unforgettable souvenir; a piece of art or piece of handmade jewelry make it easy to bring a part of the island back with you.

The shopping and beaches aside, St. Barts also has a bustling culinary scene. With a sea full of wonderful fish and shellfish at their doorstep, the chefs of the island make the goal of a memorable meal an easy one to accomplish. From a simple beachside lunch to a multi-course dinner prepared especially for you, the fresh bounty of the sea will surely delight. Make sure to ask your Concierge for the latest restaurants and the newest top chefs. You won’t be dissapointed.

Our Concierges look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful island of St. Barts and sharing their secrets and recommendations.
