Why Choose St Barts?
St Barts combines French elegance with Caribbean charm. It’s small, just 8 square miles, but it delivers big on luxury, style, and exclusivity. Unlike some of its neighbours, St Barts has a discreet, low-rise character with no sprawling resorts. Instead, you’ll find boutique hotels, private villas, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere where French and Caribbean cultures blend beautifully.
Highlights include:
- Pristine beaches – from the lively buzz of St Jean to the tranquillity of Gouverneur and Saline.
- Gourmet dining – Michelin-standard restaurants, chic cafés, and beach clubs serving French-Caribbean fusion.
- Luxury shopping – designer boutiques in Gustavia that rival Paris or St Tropez.
- Effortless glamour – a destination loved by celebrities yet welcoming and relaxed.
- Water-based adventures – sailing, diving, and exploring hidden coves.
For travellers seeking a Caribbean holiday with sophistication and style, St Barts is hard to beat.
Tailor-Made Travel from the UK
Reaching St Barts is part of the adventure. There are no direct flights from London, and the island’s short runway only accepts small planes. Most UK visitors arrive via Paris or Antigua, connecting onwards to St Barts by a scenic 15-minute flight or a ferry from St Maarten.
With our tailor-made service, we’ll design the journey that suits you best:
- Smooth flight connections with private or VIP transfers.
- Island-hopping combinations, pairing St Barts with Antigua, Anguilla, or St Maarten.
- Flexible itineraries with stopovers in Paris for a chic Franco-Caribbean twin-centre holiday.
From your first step in the UK to your arrival in Gustavia’s harbour, everything can be arranged for you.
