St. Barth’s is just a short plane flight from the US and is a one of the most perfect and exclusive little islands. It is set in the middle of the Caribbean Sea near Anguilla and St. Maarten. This small French Island is part of the French West Indies. The island itself is tiny, it’s barely over 8 square miles. The roads wind up and down steep hills (the kind of hills you don’t think your car will ever make it up). Tucked away in the woods you’ll find many private villas for rent, most with breath taking views of sea and even the surrounding islands such as Anguilla.

St. Barth’s is a perfect winter get away to escape the cold weather of the US, as long as you don’t mind the island being more crowded. Christmas, New Years and Carnival are the most crowded and most expensive times to visit the island. However, these times can also be the most fun!

Billionaire tycoons, celebrities and the “nouveau riche” dock their yachts in the Gustavia port and often have parties for those “in the know”. The island’s amazing restaurants and sexy lounges are packed until the wee hours of the morning with supermodels, celebs, locals and wealthy visitors. All day, the beaches are crawling with topless tanned bodies and toned hard bodied men, along with the elite sun worshipers from around the globe. There is always a “scene” somewhere in St. Barth’s, you just have to find it!

St. Barth’s has an arguable number of beaches. Some say 14, some say 20 regardless of the number, there is one thing everyone agrees with, they are all beautiful. Most with white sand and crystal clear water. Water sports are popular, including surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing, boating, snorkeling and scuba. The locals love to surf Toiny for the rip curl and Lorient for the breaking waves. We loved watching them from dry land! This island is unique in the Caribbean, it’s super clean, safe and has very friendly locals. You can come here to relax and enjoy the sun and hide, or you can come to “see and be seen”. Either way, St. barth’s is it!
