Highlights of Your Journey
Start in Gustavia, St. Barts’ capital with Swedish colonial charm, where luxury yachts and designer boutiques line the harbour once shaped by 18th-century trade.
Unwind on iconic beaches, from Shell Beach’s shell-covered shores to Eden Rock and Saline Beach, while exploring quiet villages like Corossol, known for traditional straw weaving.
Hop to St. Martin, the world’s smallest shared island, where French flair meets Dutch hospitality - shop in Marigot and Philipsburg, relax at Mullet Bay, and plane-spot on Maho Beach.
Choose your pace, from sailing to Anguilla or enjoying a lagoon-side spa day, to beach-hopping on Orient Bay or hiking to St. Barts’ hidden natural pools.
Wrap up in style, with fine dining in Grand Case, seaside cocktails in Gustavia, and a final blend of French-Caribbean elegance and barefoot island ease.
Days 1 - 3
Your sophisticated Caribbean escape begins in St. Barts' chic capital before exploring the dual-nation charm of neighboring St. Martin.
Day one welcomes you to Gustavia, St. Barts' picturesque capital named after Swedish King Gustav III when Sweden purchased the island from France in 1784. The red-roofed harbor town retains its Swedish colonial architecture, with luxury yachts docking where trading vessels once anchored. Explore duty-free shopping along the waterfront, continuing a tradition of exclusive tourism that began when the Rockefellers started vacationing here in the 1950s. Your second day brings pure relaxation at Shell Beach, where millions of shells create a unique shoreline, followed by a leisurely afternoon at Eden Rock. Day three features a short flight to St. Martin/Sint Maarten, the world's smallest territory shared by two nations since the 1648 Treaty of Concordia, settling into beachfront accommodation with sunset cocktails.
Days 4 - 7
Days four through seven explore St. Martin's diverse landscapes while balancing adventure with peaceful beach days.
Your fourth day begins in French Saint-Martin's Marigot, where the weekly market showcases French Caribbean cuisine before crossing the invisible border to Dutch Sint Maarten for duty-free shopping in Philipsburg, founded in 1763. Day five brings the famous Maho Beach experience, watching planes land just overhead at Princess Juliana Airport, followed by a relaxing afternoon at nearby Mullet Bay Beach. Your sixth day ventures to Orient Bay on the French side, where clothing-optional beaches reflect French attitudes, with beachfront restaurants serving French-Caribbean fusion cuisine. Day seven offers a choice: sailing to nearby Anguilla for pristine beaches, or a spa day with treatments overlooking Simpson Bay Lagoon - one of the Caribbean's largest inland lagoons.
Days 8 - 12
Your final stretch balances St. Barts' exclusive charm with relaxation across both sides of this unique island.
Day eight returns to St. Barts for beach hopping among its 14 pristine shores, starting with Saline Beach where pink flamingos occasionally visit the salt ponds that provided the island's main export during the 18th century. Visit Corossol village where traditional straw weaving continues using techniques from early French settlers. Your ninth day offers pure relaxation: choose between spa treatments, yacht charter, or simply lounging at Flamands Beach with a good book. Day ten features a final adventure - hiking to natural pools and secluded coves, followed by gourmet dining in Grand Case on St. Martin, known as the "Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean" since French chefs relocated here in the 1980s. Day eleven brings a leisurely morning at Cupecoy Beach's limestone caves, afternoon shopping for French luxury goods in duty-free Gustavia, and sunset cocktails overlooking the harbour. Day twelve concludes with a relaxed breakfast before departure, carrying memories of two islands that perfectly blend sophistication with Caribbean ease.
