This little pebble beach is rather surreal: from wildlife spotting, sea turtle sightings, to simply soaking up the sun on the shore line. Take a dip in one of the natural pools whilst you're there. Idyllic!

On the south side of the island lies the Anse de Grande Saline, or the Saline beach. Often regarded as the best beach on St. Barth, head to this secluded and unspoilt spot to soak up the day's sun. 

Everything is just so good at Kinugawa: from its elegant interiors of wooden decor, and rafia lights, to the exquisite cocktails and the Japanese food. Share a few plates of sushi whilst admiring the views out onto the ocean. 

Montaigne Market is the store to pick up any haute-couture piece. All the clothing is carefully handpicked so you're sure to find that perfect summer fit. 

When the season rolls around and La Guérite Gustavia open its doors, you can bet that this little spot on the tip of port of Gustavia will be alive with activity. With Yiannis Kioroglou rustling up some tartare de thon to start and homemade pastas (the signature pâtes "la guérite"  is a must), settle in for an evening of good food, great cocktails, and plenty of dancing.

In the bay of Saint-Jean is this picture-perfect beach club. Live the Creole dolce vita as you bask under the Caprini & Pellerin designed umbrellas, bury your feet in the golden sands, and take a dip in the ocean. When you're feeling a little peckish head on up to the restaurant for some Mediterranean delicacies. 

A trip to Le Ti is quite literally a feast all the senses! Dine on some caviar potato, or tuna tartar, pop open a bottle, and round things all up by a dance and a groovy after watching the cabaret. Le Ti is as vibrant as it gets. 

If the Sand Bar doesn't just exude that holiday ambience to you then we're not sure what will. Effortlessly laid back, with the relaxed beach bar beats, this is the spot to come to for an easy lunch, a fabulous cocktail, or a gourmet evening bite. 

On it's own secluded enclave is the Rosewood Le Guanahani: a place where the palm trees sprawl across the golden sands, and the ocean is crystal clear. Soak up the sun on your own private terrace or, take a trip to the Sense spa and treat yourself to Le Guanahani massage. This is truly a little slice of paradise. 

This casual café comes alive at night when it turns into a cult bar. People flock from all over the island to enjoy a drink in the summer nights. Enjoy live music, open mic nights and amazing cocktails.
