If you’re looking for the ultimate Caribbean vacation experience, the island of Saint-Barthélemy is your destination. Part of the European Union, St. Barts has been a favorite vacation spot of the rich and famous for decades, in large part because it is relatively under-developed. By law, no building on the island can be taller than a palm tree – so any direction you look the beautiful vista remains unbroken.
St. Barts is the perfect vacation for those interested in beautiful, pristine beaches, luxury accommodations and upscale food. With twenty-two beautiful beaches and world-famous scuba , snorkeling and boating, visiting St. Barts is truly stepping into paradise. A popular jet set destination, it can be nearly impossible to find accommodations during the Christmas and New Year’s season, but a few vacation packages are usually available during off-season, and often include a St. Barts car or jeep rental.
The official language on St. Barts is French, but many of the locals speak English. And while you can get married on St. Barts, one of the happy couple needs to be a resident of the island for at least a month – so most St. Barts weddings are actually beautiful blessing ceremonies rather than true weddings.
St. Barts restaurant options tend toward the gourmet, elegant and expensive. And while there are a few St. Barts’ hotels to choose from, most vacationers choose to rent villas on their stay. Ranging in size from tiny one bedroom cottages to luxurious six-bedroom residences, St. Barts has options for romantic getaways or group vacations alike. You will not be disappointed as St. Barts caters to high-end tourism.
