Gustavia, St. Barts

Boutiques, Beaches & Balmy Weather

Often considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, St. Barts—with its charming capital Gustavia—is a tropical paradise with French flair.

With more than 300 sunny days a year, and numerous beaches located across less than eight square miles of land, you never have to go very far to find a strip of creamy sand and some vitamin D. Start your beach hopping adventures at Shell Beach, the closest to Gustavia. Celebrities have long regarded St. Barts as the ultimate escape, to keep your eyes peeled as you never know who might be hiding behind those giant sunglasses and floppy hats. From there, head to Saline Beach, St. Jean Beach, Rockefeller’s Beach, or any other piece of sand that catches your fancy.

Once you’ve had your fill of sea, sun, and sand, explore the dramatic scenery in your own ATV, cruise the coast in a speedboat, or shop ‘til you drop in the luxury boutiques and duty-free shops.
