St. Barths Travel Guide

We recommend going to Hotel Le Toiny or Eden Rock for a leisurely lunch. Our top choice for dinner is Le Tamarin.

Rent a car and park at Grand Fond beach and walk to the Natural Pools/"Washing Machine" - so cool!

Choose one of the gorgeous beaches to relax all day.

Swim near Le Guanahani, then grab a drink at a small shack by the hotel.

This is the perfect hotel for a romantic getaway, since it’s more secluded and private.

Almost entirely surrounded by crystal blue water, Eden Rock is elegant yet easy, and everything truly feels top-notch, from the rooms to the service.

This luxury hotel is French refinement at its best, and has a glamorous ambience.

Whether a villa or suite, every room here has a water view, and the hotel in general has an intimate feel and a minimalist, modern design.

It’s a scene here, but also iconic. A must for lunch and drinks!

This beach restaurant and club has a relaxed but chic vibe, with delicious Greek food and cocktails. Order the lobster pasta.

A more remote and less scene-y option, the hotel will drive you down to the beach in a defender. Enjoy a meal and rent a daybed!

Venture here for a long and leisurely lunch, especially if you are not staying at the hotel. It’s also a great option for pre-dinner cocktails.

This is near Saline Beach and is a favorite. Get the fresh tuna dish!

Located in Gustavia, Bonito is known for its great, welcoming atmosphere.

This is a hot new spot with a cool atmosphere. Located on the water, the entire floor is sand and the space is decorated with wicker lanterns and bohemian throw pillows.

The most excellent and authentic Italian on the island!

Located at the top of Gustavia’s Harbor, La Guerité has an idyllic atmosphere and authentic Mediterranean food.

While Thai food may seem like a random option, this is a delicious option for something different in Gustavia.

• Sit downstairs here and enjoy delicious French food and a large selection of wines.

While known for its lively drink scene, Bagatelle is an equally good and fun dinner option, especially when traveling with a big group. Go for a late reservation!

The decor here is so cool; think Caribbean meets African safari. It’s near Colombier Beach.

This is a beautiful Rosewood resort and has a great beach bar for pre-dinner drinks.

There’s a wild late night and show scene here, but you can go on the early side as well.

Go here for drinks at sunset for the most beautiful views.

Besides the Natural Pools/"Washing Machine,” great options for hiking are either of the routes in and out of Colombier beach, or the loop near Hotel Le Toiny.

Go through Jicky Marine Rentals.

Some favorites are Saline, Gouvrener, and Colombier beach.

Gustavia and St. Jean both have great boutiques. Popie’s has all Liberty of London fabrics in a small, quaint space. Delfina is another for high-end clothing with a tropical, nautical feel.
