Best Areas to Stay in St Barts for Villa Rentals
St. Jean – Chic and Central
Close to Nikki Beach and the airport, this is ideal for those who want beach clubs and boutiques at their doorstep.
Colombier – Quiet and Scenic
More remote and peaceful, Colombier offers villas perched on cliffs with dramatic ocean panoramas.
Gustavia – Urban Elegance
Perfect for those who enjoy a mix of city sophistication and island charm. Walking distance to shops, fine dining, and historic forts.
Flamands – Beachfront Bliss
Flamands Beach offers long stretches of soft white sand and villas with direct beach access—great for families and relaxation.
You may also want to look into renting a boat for a day. Whether you want the full luxurious experience of a crewed boat or not, you can see St. Bart’s from the water as you sail along the coastline. Borrow some snorkeling or diving equipment and see what lies beneath the surface but sip on some bubbly while you watch the sunset on board. One of the best spots to take a boat is to Fourchue Island where you can watch sea turtles on an uninhabited island.
St. Bart’s is home to Morne de Vitet, the mountain that you will see as you fly into the island. You can hike up 286 meters to the top and get panoramic views of the island and ocean below. You can also see traditional huts as you make your way up!
If you want to do some urban exploring, the capital city Gustavia is a great place to explore for a day. You can see Forts Karl and Gustav and Notre Dame Church as you walk around the marina and the red-roofed homes. This is also a great spot to go shopping in, with designer and luxury goods benefiting from the “duty free” designation of the port area.
How to Plan Your Trip
A trip to St. Bart’s is meant to be laid back and relaxing, so you don’t want to plan your vacation itinerary down to the minute. However, you can easily plan your days around expected weather or how you might be feeling when you wake up. Haute Retreats can help you find the perfect beach or rental shop that fits your needs and wants. It is very easy to get around to the different beaches and trails on the island, allowing you to sleep in and not feel rushed when starting your day.
Even though you will be staying in a villa with access to your own kitchen, there are plenty of places to go to dinner or happy hours at if you don’t want the stress of cooking for yourself or we can arrange a private chef for you. One of the best places to have a drink after a day on the beach in Shellona in Gustavia. Next to Shell Beach, you can see the pinks and purple hues of the day ending while sipping on a fabulous cocktail. Or have a meal at Latin-French fusion restaurant Bonito Saint Barth. This exclusive restaurant pulls inspiration from South American and French cuisines to create memorable meals, such as their ceviche and tiraditos.
St. Barts is a fantastic place to visit. A perfect beach getaway, couples or groups heading to the island can elevate their stay by renting a villa in St Barts for their time there. Not only does renting a villa give you privacy and peace and quiet, it is also the perfect retreat to head back to after a day in the sun seeing what St. Barts has to offer.
