The beaches

With 14 beaches to choose from, St. Barths has something for everyone. If you’re looking for a secluded, palm-fringed beach where aquamarine water gently laps the shoreline, then Marigot Beach, Saline Beach, Gouverneur Beach and Flamands Beach are the perfect choices. Colombier Beach, also known as Rockefeller’s Beach, is a popular picnic spot, while Anse des Cayes Beach and Toiny offer the ideal conditions for surfers. Wherever you decide to hang your hammock during the day, Shell Beach is the place to head for a spectacular sunset. Watch the lights dance on the sparkling ocean as you sip a chilled mojito at one of the beachside cafés.

During the day

A stroll around the harbour of Gustavia, the main town of St. Barths, will take you past stylish boutiques, jewellery stores that sparkle with diamonds, and sleek yachts moored in pretty harbours. The waterfront is bustling with cafés, bars and restaurants and is ideal for a spot of people-watching. For a truly relaxing experience, head to one of the island’s excellent spas and wellbeing centres and choose from a wide range of invigorating massages and exquisite treatments.

If you want to learn more about the marine life, an excursion on a submersible will open up a wonderful underwater world of green sea-turtles, barracudas, butterfly fish, parrotfish, angelfish, snappers, blue tangs and stingrays. There’s also the chance to see pelicans nesting in their natural habits at the Marine Park.

At the end of the day
