St. Barth

France

Saint Barthélemy, often colloquially known as St. Barth, is a volcanic island fully encased by the shimmering Caribbean Sea. It stands as an overseas collectivity of France, having been a bastion of Gallic culture for centuries amidst the archipelago's diverse cultural heritage. The island's capital, Gustavia, with its harbor cradled by hills, reflects a history rich with colonial influence, evidenced in its architecture and urban design. The topography of St. Barth is one of the undulating hills and picturesque beaches that have long beckoned travelers. St. Barth's reputation as a haven for the affluent is not unearned; it boasts a host of luxury boutiques, supreme eateries, and opulent villas. St Barth marries exclusivity with that a je ne sais quoi soulful essence of the island, offering a sanctuary for both the body and spirit.
