Welcome in St Barths!

Whether you visit for a day or several days, you will be won over by the charm and elegance of the island of Saint Barthélemy (nicknamed “St Barth”), as well as by the cleanliness, safety and serenity that reign there.

You will enjoy :
– The visit of the historic port of Gustavia, or the tour of the island,
– Dream shopping without taxes…
– High quality restaurants!
– The 22 beaches with turquoise waters and white sand…

Beyond the luxurious reputation of the island, with many stars who frequent St Barth (that you may meet during your visit!), the destination remains a safe value quite amazing, which escapes mass tourism and absolutely deserves to be explored: it is the must stopover of your trip in the Caribbean!

If you have chosen a tour with a vehicle, you will be able to move around the island and see that the “jet set” neighborhoods with villas, yachts and luxury stores cohabit with small villages and wilder sites (Corossol, Salines, Grand Fonds).

Strolling through the streets of the capital of Saint Barth, Gustavia, is a pleasure not to be missed.
You will notice the pretty traditional wooden huts and street signs (with their names in Swedish!), alongside the most prestigious signs typical of Gustavia. Around the rectangular harbor, often filled with huge luxurious yachts, are hidden the traces of the Nordic influence, linked to the island’s past. Lovers of old stones will go to the other side of the harbor (at the Point) to visit the Wall House museum. This building, built at the time of the Swedish colonization, was recently restored.

On the way, they will stop for a visit of the Anglican church, the Catholic church and the old Swedish bell tower, located high up. A visit to the “Sélect”, Gustavia’s cult bar where residents and tourists live together all year long will immerse you in the local life of the island.
A stopover at Shell beach (5 minutes walk from the city center) is a “must”, this pretty little beach with calm waters is made up of tiny shells and offers the possibility to eat at the water’s edge.

If you have the chance to stay several days in St Barths, the fauna and flora of St Barths being very rich and varied, many activities are offered to you. For nature lovers, you will also have the choice between several hikes: the one to Colombier to access its magnificent beach (steep access by Colombier or easier by Flamand), the one to Grand Fond to access the natural pools, or the one to access another beautiful natural pool from Petit cul de Sac (beware of sea urchins, and to be avoided in case of rough sea).
Water activities are also very popular and there is no lack of them: surfing (in Lorient), kite surfing and windsurfing (Grand cul de sac), snorkeling (Shell Beach, Corossol, Gouverneur), jet skiing or scuba diving…

Saint Barthelemy also offers a great artistic wealth with several artists who propose their works in the art galleries of the island.
Finally, the island offers internationally renowned events throughout the year: the carnival, the Saint Barth Gourmet Festival, the music festival or renowned sailing regattas such as the Bucket, Les Voiles de St Barth, the West Indies Regatta or the Cata Cup…

By car or quad, the day tour of the island is really very pleasant and allows you to fully enjoy and visit St Barth.

Passing through the Col de la Tourmente, you will have access to a breathtaking view of the airport with a bronze statue of a young Amerindian blowing into a lambi in the center of the crossroads. And above the crossroads, the spectacular little planes shave the roofs of the cars to land on the short runway (only 640 meters). Thrills guaranteed!
Further on, it is in Corossol, that you will find the authenticity of St Barths, in this small village, where fishermen and old ladies perpetuate an ancestral knowledge, the weaving of latanier, they transform them into hats or other decorative objects.
It is in Colombier that you will have access to one of the most popular viewpoints of St Barths, where you can have a panoramic view on the long beach of Colombier, Flamand and on your right, on the sea and its islets (islets Bonhomme, Frégates, Toc vert…) By continuing your way towards Saint Jean, you will be able to benefit from a very beautiful beach of a turquoise blue surmounted by the Eden Rock, with pretty stores in the vicinity

For fans of Johnny Hallyday, continue your tour of the island towards L’orient if you want to have the chance to pay your respects to his grave. The Lorient cemetery is known for its colorful flowers, its calm and its cleanliness. Take the opportunity to visit the church Notre Dame de l’Assomption (next to the cemetery), whose steeple is a listed monument, and look at its frame in the shape of an inverted boat hull. You can also walk along the beach and take a picture near the pretty and colorful surfers’ hut. To the south of the island is Grand Fond, where the road is narrow, lined with low dry-stone walls against a backdrop of barren plains, and is the wildest coastline on St. Barthélemy. The famous Russian star dancer Rudolf Nureyev chose this site to build his wooden house between the small road and the often turbulent sea. When you arrive on the heights, stop for a moment to admire the view of Grand Fond. It is in Saline that salt was once exploited (until 1972). Many birds still gather in the now deserted salt works. At the end of the road, you can continue on foot (5 minutes) to admire the spectacular arrival between two dunes of one of the most famous beaches of the island of Saint Barth: Grande Saline. Wild beauty, clear sand and turquoise water are on the agenda! Finally, to end your drive, we invite you to make a last stop on Gouverneur beach, a paradise beach, a real dream setting…
