Small and Exclusive

The French Island of St. Barthelemy is very small and very exclusive.

Eight miles square, St Barth's is not a budget traveller's paradise.

Because of its exclusivity, many musicians and celebrities choose to relax here; away from prying eyes.

Getting to St Barth's

There are flights to St Barth's; from Sint Maarten, Guadeloupe, St. Croix, St.Thomas, Puerto Rico, Anguilla and Saba.

There is also a ferry service from Sint Maarten.

Don't count your luck on hitching a ride with yachties, or private pilots though. It has been done, but you'll need connections, and plenty of time.

Airlines and Airports:
There is an airport on the northern part of the island, with the popular Saint-Jean beach nearby.

Around The Island

Not all beaches on St. Barthelemy are easy to reach.

Some, like Anse de Columbia, only by boat or a very long walk. Choose Ainse Toiny beach in the south, if you like your water-sports a bit rougher.

Of course the shallow-water reefs make excellent snorkelling grounds, and you would be wasting your time here if you didn't go out in a boat.
