Gustavia

Shaped like a horseshoe around a small, sheltered harbor, and once protected by stone forts whose vestiges remain today, Gustavia remains a busy port, as was its original occupation. Called Carénage in the early days of colonization, and renamed in 1785 by the Swedes in tribute to their king, Gustav III, Gustavia served as a center for provisioning and commercial trading, while maintaining its neutrality. As such, during the colonial wars that raged in the Caribbean at the end of the 18th century, the Swedes made it possible for a boat captain to sell his plundered treasure and at the same time replenish his ship. On the shores of this free port, visited by vessels flying flags from around the world, warehouses were filled with goods and the city prospered with as many as 5000 inhabitants during the Swedish era.

Our beach bucket list consists of the world’s most fabulous ten beaches. These beaches are dotted across the globe from Malaysia to Massachusetts. They are on every discerning sun worshipers bucket list. These are the beaches we dream of, the places we never want to leave, and long to return to.

Tastes vary from one person to another. You may prefer to lounge under a palm tree in peaceful seclusion whilst the next person may love to strut their stuff along the sand in the latest bikini showing off an almost all over suntan. Then there are of course those who really want that all over tan, no swimwear required.

ocated on a rocky promontory overlooking the coral reefs, between the white sands and crystal clear waters of Saint Jean Bay, this group of villas stands on the foundations of the former property of the aviator Rémy de Haenen, the first to land a plane on the island back in the 1940’s. Jane and David Matthews have created the contemporary and eclectic interiors of the themed suites: the new Rockstar with recording studio and the new Nina with own art gallery, the “Fregate” with its own spa pool, the “Howard Hughes”.

Eden Rock is an ideal place for soaking up the sun of St Barths, lazing on the beach and exploring the dazzling undersea world.
