For those looking for the true luxury France in the Caribbean, then St. Barths would be your exclusive island of choice. From the moment your small plane touches down in St.Barths, you will feel as if you have arrived somewhere special.Having aptly been described as eight square miles of France under the Caribbean sun, it seems as if
many of the finest things about France have been transferred to this idyllic island.
Foodies should look no further! The decidedly stylish but seriously laid-back St Barths is stunningly pretty with, in our view, much of the best of France in an idyllic tropical setting with glorious beaches. It's all about food really - an oven-warm brioche and café au lait in the morning, grilled fish or a pizza perhaps with your toes in the sand for lunch, freshly flown-in foie gras and lobster for dinner amongst the rich and famous! Virtually everywhere, there's minimal formality and maximum style. As you might tell, those of us who have been there love St Barths!
St Barths is all about food and style, but it's not remotely glitzy. When she could drag herself away from the sublime restaurants, Gemma was especially struck by the sense of personal safety and well-being in St Barths – and we all rate the boutiques in Gustavia in particular!
