⛵ Saint-Barthélemy

Gustavia, dream beaches and French art de vivre

Saint-Barthélemy (Saint-Barth), a 24 km² French overseas collectivity, is one of the most refined destinations in the Caribbean. Nicknamed the billionaires' island, it charms visitors with its pristine beaches — Gouverneur, Saline, Saint-Jean, Colombier — and crystal-clear waters. Gustavia, its capital with the feel of a Provençal village, welcomes luxury yachts to its colourful harbour. The island blends Creole architecture with pastel shutters, outstanding French cuisine and an incomparably laid-back atmosphere. A former Swedish colony, it preserves many Nordic names in its place names.
