Saint Barth For The Best High Class Vacations Jan 26

St_barth_eastbeach_edenrockSt Barts in English or Saint Barth in French is located in the French West Indies is considered by many to be Monte Carlo in the Caribbean islands. This little Caribbean gem measures just 21sq km or only 8 sq miles, and is a magnet for the European jet set as well as the American well heeled.

An international flavor combines with French chic, West Indian cool and stunning scenery to produce one of the most idyllic vacation destinations to be found not only in the Caribbean but and anywhere in the world. Stepping onto St Barts is to step out of normal existence; the island has an unmistakable feel of quality and affluence, which sets it apart from the over-developed, tourist over-run islands, found elsewhere in the Caribbean chain.

International flights from the US and beyond arrive at the neighboring French island of St Maarten, and then a quick hop of less than 20 minutes will find you in your cab heading for your luxury villa accommodations favored by many visitors to the island.

The island is home to some 20-odd beaches widely regarded as amongst the most perfect on the planet. Some are long expanses of snow white sand catering to every possible need of the fanatical beach dweller. There are restaurants, stunning beach bars; every conceivable kind of water sports, as well has the clearest water imaginable.

There is a distinct lack of monstrous condo developments and massive resort hotel construction; this is because of firm government controls that favor eco-friendly tourism development. The capital of the island was developed by 17th century Swedish colonialists who named the town Gustavia, after their King.

Scuba diving is an incredibly popular pastime around the island’s shores, which is not surprising given the quality of the clear water. In addition, the large numbers of beautiful coral reef structures, as well as at least three ship wrecks, innumerable beautifully colored fish as well as other sea creatures such as turtles and dolphins.

If you prefer your enjoyment, back on the land St. Barts can offer a huge array of activities and sports to keep even the most athletic entertained for every day of their vacation. There are a huge number of diverse sports such as archery, tennis, horse riding, hiking, quad bike riding and many more.

Those who prefer more sedate activities can enjoy a variety of spa treatments including massage and many other therapies. Shopping is also a very popular indulgence especially in Gustavia due to its duty-free port status. Here you will find not only local crafts and gifts; you can also indulge yourself in the world’s finest boutique designer goods and clothing.

St Barts offers the finest of everything from shopping, to villa accommodations, to the best beaches, and the clearest waters. This is why it has become one of the meeting points of the international jet set, who come to enjoy its many sights and wonders.

St Barth’s Catacup November 20 to 22 Aug 05

sailing-st-barth

Organized by the Saint Barth Multi-Hulls Association along with the Nautical Center of Saint Barth, the 2009 edition of the Saint Barth Cata Cup will take place on the weekend of November 20-22 on the bay of Saint Jean.

St Barth Catacup is a catamaran race among some of the top catamaran racers in the world. The race is open to 35 boats and, thus far, 24 teams have expressed interest in competing. The 2008 event was sponsored by the Nautical Center of Saint Barth, the Saint Barth Yacht Club, the Collectivity of St Barth, and the non-profit organization Saint Barth Multi-Hulls. They are hoping that this race will become the most important event for catamaran racing in the West Indies. All events will take place on the beautiful beach of St Jean.

This race is not as popular as the Heineken race in St Maarten anyways, so we are not sure if it is worth the effort to visit this Island.

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.
