St. Barths Villas

The island of Saint Barthélemy, popularly known as St. Barths and officially titled the Territorial collectivity of Saint Barthélemy, is perhaps one of the precious few relatively hidden gems in the Caribbean. It features no less than fourteen gorgeous white sandy beaches, which, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll enjoy in a tranquil, peaceful atmosphere. There is lots of French flair and chic to be enjoyed in exotic St. Barths, one of the four territories that comprise the French West Indies. St. Barths villas are often characterized by a relaxed type of elegance in terms of design and architecture. The rest of the island is in perfect accord, too, with the Port of Gustavia the main sight for those who want to sample a great array of shopping opportunities, peppered with the best of the best in terms of trendy Caribbean boutiques. To boot, since St. Barths is a preferred destination for those whose tastes lean more on the refined side of life, the island features an ever so great number of respectable, impeccably run restaurants.

Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous

Of course, like any island in the Caribbean, St. Barths is a great setting for luxury vacation rentals, the best of which are listed below. It’s important to know what to invest in when you decide to ‘splurge’ on something as major as a luxury holiday in the Caribbean. While most top destinations are located on St. Barths itself, St. Jean is also a great backdrop for accommodation done in style, as is Anse des Cayes. It’s worth noting that St. Barths has long been a favorite for the rich and famous and becomes especially busy around New Year’s Eve. Year after year, the local tourism industry has recorded a boom during that period. A sight to see is the convergence of yachts at local docks and marinas, with vessels that reach up to 550 feet in length. The island’s 25 hotels are sold out months in advance for end of the year celebration, and so are its many luxurious villas.
