Discover St. Barth
By Day
Days in St. Barth move at their own pace — sunlit mornings, unhurried afternoons, and endless ocean views. Whether you’re relaxing at one of the island’s beaches, exploring the hills, or enjoying your luxury villa, Bethany helps you plan days that balance discovery with ease.
Morning on Island Time
Start the day the local way — fresh pastries from La Petite Colombe, a coffee overlooking the harbor, or a quiet swim before the island wakes up.
Shopping and Strolling in Gustavia
After the beach, Gustavia offers an easy change of pace. Wander through boutiques featuring Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and local designers, then stop for a glass of rosé at a harbor-side café.
Afternoons of Ease
Afternoons are for slowing down. Many of Bethany’s villas include shaded terraces, infinity pools, and open kitchens perfect for long lunches or naps by the water.
The Insider Advantage
Bethany’s deep local knowledge means you won’t waste time guessing where to go. She helps guests experience St. Barth the way residents do — without stress, and always with a sense of connection to the island’s easygoing rhythm.
After Sunset
By Night
Evenings in St. Barth have their own rhythm — relaxed, social, and effortlessly elegant. As the sun sets, the harbor glows, music drifts through open doors, and the island settles into its signature mix of refinement and ease.
Private Moments Perfectly Placed
Some of St. Barth’s most unforgettable nights happen in the comfort of your villa. Imagine a private chef preparing dinner on your terrace, a sunset sail, or an acoustic performance under the stars in your courtyard.
The Bethany Difference
Bethany’s long relationships with island restaurateurs and hosts mean that reservations, access, and hospitality come naturally. She connects guests with the best restaurants, from beloved local spots to the island’s most exclusive dining rooms.
Seasons of the Night
Winter brings high season energy, with yachts in the harbor and New Year’s Eve fireworks lighting up the sky. Summer slows down, offering long, warm nights and a local rhythm that’s easy to love.
The Beaches of St. Barth
St. Jean Beach
One of the island’s most popular beaches, St. Jean is ideal for swimming, people-watching, and long lunches at Eden Rock or Nikki Beach. The calm, turquoise water makes it perfect for families and paddleboarding.
Gouverneur Beach
A scenic drive leads to this pristine, crescent-shaped beach surrounded by green hills. There are no restaurants or shops here — just clear water, soft sand, and quiet beauty.
Saline Beach
Remote, wide, and wild, Saline offers a natural escape with rolling dunes and crystal water. It’s the place to unplug, swim, and soak in one of the most beautiful views on the island.
Shell Beach
Steps from downtown Gustavia, Shell Beach is as convenient as it is stunning. Stop for a swim, a cocktail and lunch at Shellona, or a sunset stroll with your feet in the sand.
Colombier Beach
Accessible only by boat or a scenic hike, Colombier is St. Barth’s hidden gem. Its calm bay and coral reefs make it perfect for snorkeling and a quiet getaway from the crowds.
Flamands Beach
The largest beach on the island, Flamands is known for its soft white sand and open ocean views. It’s home to Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France, a luxury hotel and dining spot, but still retains a relaxed, local charm.
Lorient Beach
A favorite among island residents and surfers, Lorient offers good waves at one end and calm shallows at the other. It’s a great spot for a morning walk or watching the surf lessons in action.
Afternoon & Sunset Spots
Shellona Beach
Located on Shell Beach, Shellona blends Mediterranean flavors with Caribbean charm. As the sun dips below the horizon, the DJ eases into a relaxed groove and cocktails catch the last of the light.
