ST BARTHS

Welcome to Saint Barthelemy

The French island of Saint Barthelemy, better known as St Barths, is an unspoilt haven and one of the Caribbean’s crown jewels. Unfolding in an endless stretch of crystal-clear waters and white sand, the high-end, luxurious island has an enchanting natural and authentic side, too. Dive into th ... e coral reefs to explore fascinating marine life, wander the narrow streets of Gustavia Harbor and get your muscles flexing with a hike in the untamed countryside. Life in St Barths is all about slow-living, drifting along wherever your heart takes you. Scuba divers, wildlife enthusiasts and those who love nothing more than the dolce vita are all spoilt for choice here: this Caribbean gem is brimming with heavenly beaches and secluded coves, untouched paths and treasures just waiting to be explored. In the capital city of Gustavia, time seems to stand still, as traditional huts, colorful cobblestoned streets and fishermen's stalls bask on the harbor alongside luxury boutiques, majestic sailboats and yachts. Soak up the atmosphere, kicking back on the terraces, strolling around town, catching the sunset and letting yourself ride the tide of local languor and laidback vibes. Hugging the St Barths cliffs, the Hôtel Barrière Le Carl Gustaf is an intimate destination where 21 suites, lofts and villas await in an historic colonial house entirely redesigned by architects Gilles & Bois. Tucked away from prying eyes, the magic of this luxury hotel lies in its elegant, understated contemporary design, its sweeping views over the city and its location perched above the turquoise sea. The restaurants here range from high-concept menus to healthy dishes designed to be enjoyed down on the beach or beneath the stars. A gorgeous spa and palette of well-being activities and sports form the perfect finishing touch to the utterly unique Carl Gustaf St Barths experience. See more
