Discover luxury Caribbean travel
If there’s one destination that consistently draws the world’s biggest stars it’s St Barths. The tiny Caribbean island has become synonymous with discreet luxury, superyachts and sun soaked glamour making it a firm favourite among A-listers looking to unwind away from the spotlight.Every winter, particularly over the festive season, the island transforms into a playground for celebrities, billionaires and fashion insiders. Superyachts line the harbour in Gustavia, designer boutiques fill the streets and beach clubs buzz with an effortlessly chic crowd.Over the years a long list of famous faces have holidayed here. Beyonce and Jay Z are regular visitors, often spotted enjoying yacht days around the island, while Leonardo DiCaprio has been seen celebrating New Year in the harbour. Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber have also jetted in for sun-soaked escapes sharing glimpses of beach days and boat trips with friends. Even Jeff Bezos has anchored his superyacht off the island, joining the ultra wealthy crowd that descends on St Barths during peak season.
Part of the island’s appeal lies in its collection of ultra luxury hotels and private villas. Eden Rock, perched dramatically on a rocky promontory overlooking St Jean Bay has long been a celebrity favourite while Cheval Blanc is known for its understated French elegance and exceptional privacy.
Then there’s the beach scene. St Barths is home to some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful stretches of sand, including the iconic St Jean Beach and the more secluded Colombier Beach. By day, the island’s famous beach clubs host long, leisurely lunches where rose flows freely and DJs set the soundtrack as the afternoon drifts into sunset.
Of course the food and nightlife are equally legendary. The island blends French sophistication with Caribbean ease meaning world class restaurants, stylish bars and late night parties are never far away.
