Honeymoon Destination: St. Barth's

St. Barth's Island French West Indies

If you’re looking for a tropical escape with luxurious flair and seaside elegance—St. Barth’s is a match for you.

Officially recognized as the Territorial collectivity of Saint Barthélemy, this island’s name is commonly abbreviated to Saint-Barth in French or St. Barth’s/St. Bart’s in English. Located in the French West Indies region of the Caribbean, St. Barth’s is French territory; therefore the island language is French and the currency is Euro.

The magnificence of the island speaks for itself capturing beauty in pristine blue waters, white sand and lush vegetation. The island hilltops offer breathtaking views of the expansive ocean and full moon nights set the stage for romantic walks on the beach. 

The island locals are pleasant and welcoming—most of them originating from Paris, France—however, meeting a local is rare and far between. The majority of feet that grace the island grounds are elite visitors.  You’re likely to rub elbows with international stars such as Brazilian professional soccer player, Alexander Pato, who’s beach chair was next to mine!

Luxury Shopping

Aside from its natural beauty and choice personnel, St. Barth’s is home to first class shopping. Alongside the island harbor there is a marketplace with restaurants, grocery stores, souvenir shops and the crème de la crème of fashion—Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Roberto Cavalli, Louis Vuitton, Chopard, etc. Walking through the cobblestone paved narrow streets, catching a glimpse of friends engaged in conversation at a corner café, sun shining and bags in hand—you can’t help but be relaxed and find yourself in the ultimate happy place.

While nature hikes, shopping and other activities are available on the island, it’s the exquisite beaches of St. Barth’s that attracts visitors. Eden Rock Hotel is a highly recommended accommodation. This five star hotel sits on one of the island’s finest beaches. Offering exclusive beach access, privacy and first class service, Eden Rock in St. Barth’s is the perfect place for an unforgettable tropical escape.
