St. Barthelemy
A small island with a lot to offer
The beautiful French island of St. Barthelemy, commonly referred to as St. Barth’s, is an island located to the north of the Lesser Antilles chain. Although not one of the better known Caribbean islands, St. Barthelemy offers you a Caribbean holiday you are sure not to forget. Dive into the island’s culture and be a part of a range of festivities during the island’s carnival. Held during the months of February and March, St. Barth’s carnival features a host of colour and local music which is sure to amaze you. Well known for their cuisine which fuses together elements of French, Italian and Asian cooking, your taste buds are sure to be delighted. Taste the exciting blend of unusual flavours enhanced by tropical colours, available at restaurants across the island. Be sure also to try the local favourites of bread and sweet potato pudding, recipes which have been passed down from generation to generation.
While on the island visit the region of Corossol, where you can find a range of beautifully woven handicrafts from palm fronds. Collect a handmade bag or hat and keep as a souvenir to remind you of your holiday in this unique paradise. Being a small island, St. Barthelemy isn’t home to the largest of accommodations but it is home to some of the finest. Stay in any of the island’s luxury hotels and villas, where you will be treated like royalty. From your private villa, step onto the white sand beaches of this island and enjoy a swim in its cool transparent waters. The tropical climate of St. Barth’s also makes it a year round destination for travellers.
The nightlife on the island is concentrated into small compartments, where you can enjoy live music at any of the bars and nightclubs, in the company of the friendliest locals. To enjoy an even greater display of the island’s talent, travel during January for the St. Barth’s Music Festival, which features both local and international talents.
