Gustavia, St. Barthélemy

St. Barthélemy – better known as St. Barth – represents a special brand of Caribbean luxury. Exclusive yet unpretentious, its barefoot elegance is distinctly Gallic in style. Around a scenic harbor filled with yachts and sailboats, the tidy capital of Gustavia is a chic mix of designer boutiques, galleries, and fine restaurants serving elevated French-Caribbean cuisine. The town is an ideal base for exploring the tiny island’s diverse array of white sand beaches, ranging from the tranquil natural beauty of isolated Colombier to the sleek hotels and exclusive beach clubs along Baie de St. Jean. Relaxing and laid-back by day, St. Barth shows its glamorous side after dark, when partiers pack the bars and the dancing lasts until dawn.
