Sun, sand, and seamless fun

​ A friends trip to St. Barts wouldn’t be complete without basking in the Caribbean sun on some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches. Shell Beach is perfect for sunbathing and indulging in a refreshing drink after a day well-spent resting, recharging, and connecting with one another. ​ Saline Beach also promises a tranquil escape with powdery white sands and turquoise waters, ideal for a peaceful beach day and a snack-filled picnic, or a few open-air games, like a frisbee match, or an impromptu swimming competition. ​ On the other hand, for the adventurous crew, a private yacht tour arranged by Le Barth Villa’s Concierge is the answer – explore the island’s hidden coves and snorkeling hotspots, or dare to engage in a paddleboarding session in the serene lagoon of Grand Cul-de-Sac. ​

Apparel and Appetite

​ For a touch of Parisian glamour in the Caribbean, explore Gustavia’s chic boutiques. St. Barts is a duty-free island, making it the perfect place to indulge in designer fashion, fine jewelry, and exclusive island finds. Stroll through the quaint streets and get yourself a timelessly elegant wristwatch, or a brand-new haute couture garment. Local designers also make a home in the many stores around, so you’ll surely be able to discover handcrafted island-inspired pieces, from breezy linen dresses to bespoke accessories. ​ Then, as the sun sets, prepare for an evening of indulgence and laughter with a delicious dinner at Abyss, Le Barthélemy’s fine-dining restaurant. Under the guidance of Michelin-starred Executive Chef Jérémy Czaplicki, the menu blends classic French techniques with bold Caribbean flavors, offering a sensory dining experience like no other.
