St. Barths is one of those destinations you visit that’s truly unlike anything else. If this spot isn’t on your bucket list yet, this travel guide will probably convince you to add it.

But, if you’ve got a decent budget to work with, there’s no place in the world that even compares. St. Barths is home to some of the best hotels and resorts I’ve ever encountered, and the beaches are second to none. Here, I’m sharing a complete guide to visiting St. Barths, including the best restaurants, bars, hotels, beaches, things to do, and more.

What to Wear in St. Barths: Outfit Inspo & Packing Guide

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:20:00 +0000

So here’s the biggest misconception people have about what to wear in St. Barths—it’s not as fancy as you think! Sure, you’ll find women toting Birkins, but for the most part, the dress code is fairly casual. I always describe it as an “anything goes” kind of place. I’ll never forget on my first trip to the island, I got DECKED to go to lunch at this beachfront restaurant we’d heard amazing things about. Well, wouldn’t you know, when we walked in, the first person I saw was a hot French dude in his late 4os…barefoot and shirtless. In the restaurant. His feet were covered in sand and he was delicately eating a 30 euro Caprese salad. The best part? It wasn’t out of place or unusual. If anything, I was the one who felt […]

How to Get to St. Barts: Flying vs. Ferry?

Lindsay Silberman — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 02:52:00 +0000

As part of my exhaustive travel guide, I’m giving you a super simple breakdown of how to get to St. Barts (or St. Barths, as it’s sometimes spelled.) I’ve personally experienced all three of these options, so I’ve been able to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each. HOW TO GET TO ST. BARTS: Unless you are chartering a yacht or a plane (and if that’s the case I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE AN INVITATION) there are 3 ways to get to the island, and I’ve ranked them in order of my preference. ONE TIP: You can now search and book NYC -> SBH (or whatever origin you’re flying from) on Google Flights, Kayak, and other booking websites all in one reservation. This will make your trip more convenient and simplifies the baggage transfer […]

Hotel Barriere Le Carl Gustaf Review: A Just-Opened Oasis in St. Barths

Danielle Cohen — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 02:46:13 +0000

The past few years have been particularly challenging for the island of St. Barths—first with the devastation of hurricane Irma, and then with the massive tourism hit that came as a result of COVID. So, suffice to say that the recent opening of Le Carl Gustaf—the island’s newest resort from France-based Barrière group—was a moment worthy of celebration. As my readers and followers know, I’ve been a longtime St. Barths-goer. My first trip to the island was in 2014, and Matt and I have been back every year—sometimes twice a year—since. We consider it our “special place.” About a month ago I received an email from Le Carl Gustaf inviting us to be among their first guests, and, unsurprisingly, my response was “HOW SOON CAN WE COME?” Of course, due to COVID, we wanted to […]
