Where to Stay, Play, and Dine in Saint Barths 


The moment you descend into St. Barths, you know you’re in for something truly spectacular. In fact, the arrival into St. Barts offers the same bragging rights as being on the island itself…just ask anyone who's been.

 

The crystalline waters are dotted with yachts, often of the mega variety, and the beaches filled with sunbathers make for a stunning not to mention unforgettable arrival scene. Nestled into the hillside are white villas with red roofs and sprawling vistas. Despite being a small island, it’s a hotel heavy-hitter, with nearly a dozen five-star properties sporting some of the biggest names in luxury hospitality.

 

St. Barths has earned a reputation as a playground for the rich and famous where they consistently retreat to the tropical paradise to enjoy its laid-back luxury. The island blends the sophistication of St.-Tropez with the laissez-fare Caribbean lifestyle—which means it’s exclusive yet totally unpretentious. The perfect example of this is Le Toiny hotel which exemplifies laid-back luxury at its finest and is our favorite spot to stay. 



The hotel’s neutral color palette and understated decor will make you feel like you’re living in the pages of an interior design magazine. Le Toiny has 22 unique, independent, self-standing ultra-comfortable Suites each one offering a private pool, large terrace and overlooking wonderful Toiny Bay and their own private beach. Spread across 42 acres- which means you never have to see another guest the entire time if you want. 



Their beach club and restaurants offer exclusive 5 star service for guests staying on property. Be ready to enjoy a new wave of exclusivity and service like never before in St Barths at this hotel. The island's luxe air of mystery and remoteness are part of what makes it a seasonal staple for jet setters and superyachts as they follow the sun to the Caribbean in winter but dont delay booking your trip, hot spots like Le Toiny are always the first on the island to sell out. 



If your’e looking to socialize you can head into Gustavía, which is full of upscale restaurants with a focus on local seafood, the default for hotels is five stars, and the beach clubs provide quite the party. We love Gyp Sea Beach and Nikki beach for a fun filled day party, Bagatelle, Le Ti, and La Petite Plage to dance the night away and Le Toiny, or Bonito for an unforgettable meal. Want to plan something extra special and exclusive? We recommend Maud Versavel at One of a kind saint barts who can make any wish a reality.

 

Whether in quest of exotic scenery or seeking exclusive travel, this prestigious Caribbean jewel is much more than a secret island or a temple of laid back refinement, here from your mind's eye to real life, the most memorable vacation you will ever experience starts here.
