Saint Barthélemy: The Island with a Sophisticated French Personality
Covered in pink-white sand, rolling hills covered in green leaves, and fairy tale towns.
Saint-Barts is the best kept secret of the French West Indies. Maybe its because I’m craving a European adventure (because I always am) that the red roofs remind me of the the iconic blue tops in Santorini. But while we await our international getaway, you can experience the most French personality in the Eastern Caribbean on this volcanic outcrop island.
The citronella glitz will go straight to your head because this island makes you feel movie-star elegant with its barefoot charm.

It takes a little extra effort to get to considering the airstrip doesn’t accommodate commercial air but maybe that is what makes it feel like an exclusive club for those who return year after year or for celebrity jet-setting.
Don’t like large cruise ships? Great, they can’t get here. You’ll have to arrive by yacht, or small propeller plane. Consider private air with Tradewinds.
Where to stay?
