St. Barths St Barths is a chic island with a distinct French feel. For many years now it has attracted the great and the good as well as travellers in search of relaxation and sophistication. With the island’s geography not suited to mass-market tourism St Barths has prospered on smaller scale hotels, offering great service in choice locations. The gastronomic scene has a deserved reputation for quality a result of importing not only French produce but also experienced French chefs, all of which is delightfully combined with quality Caribbean produce and fresh seafood. Gustavia is a small-scale capital with picture postcard qualities, a harbour that is home to luxury yachts and plenty of boutique shops for those wanting to indulge themselves. The islands 22 beaches are beautiful with St Jean, Flamands and Gouverneur being amongst the best.
