In fact, its origins are associated with fame and wealth, as it was discovered by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds in 1950 while they were looking for a private and exclusive spot to relax. The land is not adequate for plantations, so the island never suffered the typical colonial process of the rest of the Caribbean.
In the high season, the adorable small harbour that welcomes you to Saint Barths when you arrive by boat, is crowded with the most luxurious yachts you can imagine. This concentration of wealth has transformed the island´s gastronomy in one of its major attractions, since the best chefs of the world have landed here.
Undoubtedly, one of the best beaches in Saint Barths is Grande Saline, which is not only beautiful but also a nude beach which is well worth visiting no matter how keen on nudism you may be.
Due to the kind of visitors Saint Barths receives, the hotels are the most luxurious you can find in the Caribbean.
When you visit Saint Barths, you cannot miss watching the turtles, rays and lobsters in Anse Du Grand, a cave in the wild end of the Marine Reserve.
As fas as social activities are concerned, the Music Festival in January, the Carnival in February and the patron festivals in August are worth seeing.
At night it is not difficult to come accross one of the numerous private parties that take place all over the small island; what is difficult indeed is succeeding in being invited to one of these parties, but if you are, do not hesitate to attend!
You can get there by plane from Saint Martin, Antigua or Guadalupe.
Saint Barths is an all- the- year destination because the weather is always good but it is usually overcrowded during the high season from December to May.
