Gustavia, St. Barts
One of the Caribbean’s most seductive islands, St. Barts is where Riviera chic meets Caribbean cool. Day-trippers arrive from nearby islands for the duty-free shopping, unparalleled dining and the soft white sands found in secluded palm-fringed coves.
Quaint coastal villages, boutique hotels and private villages are sprinkled throughout the island, making it the perfect escape for those genuinely wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
While in St. Barts, tour Fort Gustav and Fort Carl, historic reminders of Sweden’s short-lived Caribbean possession. Then embark on a snorkeling adventure, sail over the clear blue waters on a catamaran or horseback ride through shaded jungle trails. Depending on the time of year, you’ll most likely be greeted by the island’s frequent and fabulous festivals.
