St Barts^
St Barts, St Barths or St Barthélemy? Whatever you call it, you’ll soon see why St Barts is a hideaway of the rich and famous.
Named by Columbus (after his elder brother) in 1493, St Barts may only measure eight square miles, but it packs in all the ingredients to make it a jewel in the Caribbean’s crown. Small, smart and sophisticated, it’s where you can soak up the postcard views or get your kit off and bask like a lizard on one the golden beaches. Foodie? Tuck in at one of the chic bistros or feed your passion for fashion in the designer boutiques.

Beaches – Beach bum? Pull up a towel, smooth on the sunscreen and bronze your body on one of the soft sandy beaches – or if you’re a water baby, try your hand at windsurfing or scuba diving.
