GG’s 5 Tips for St Barths My family and friends at Nikki Beach

GG’s 5 Tips for St Barths

Saint Barthélemy is a tiny slice of powdery-sand paradise amidst the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The island serves as a haven for honeymooners, families, and groups of friends alike. As one of my most-traveled destinations, I have honed my expertise to know which restaurants, experiences, hotels, and more are the best of the best. While I love many things about the island, here are just five of my most prized tips. 

1. Dinner at Bonito 

There’s no better way to begin a trip to St Barths than dinner at Bonito. Each dish is a masterpiece created with vibrant flavors inspired by Caribbean and French cuisine. While Bonito is always my first stop, I love adding a visit to Le Ti St Barths to my itinerary for an evening filled with dancing and cabaret shows. 

2. Rent a convertible Mini Cooper 

St Barths is absolutely stunning. From the lush green hills to the red-roofed buildings of Gustavia, natural beauty is definitely something to take in. One of my favorite things to do is rent a convertible Mini Cooper to explore the island in style. Make a pit stop at Lolita Jaca, my favorite shop on the island. 

3. Go to Nikki Beach 

For those looking for great music and a fun time, there’s no better place on the island than Nikki Beach. While Sundays at the beach club are renowned for the live music and party atmosphere, their new Saturday Live event is now a favorite. They play all the upbeat music you’d find on a Sunday but with a more toned-down party vibe.

4. Boat Day 

If there’s one thing that’s non-negotiable to me when visiting St Barths, it’s a boat day. I love to spend the morning or afternoon exploring the crystalline waters around the island on a private yacht charter. I find that the views of the island from the Caribbean are even more breathtaking. 

5. Visit Gouverneur Beach

If you know me, you know my favorite place on Earth is Gouverneur Beach. Tucked away on the island’s southern coast, this strip of sand provides unspoiled charm, unlike others on the island. 

Whether you’re drawn to the glamorous lifestyle, natural beauty, or luxury accommodations, St. Barthélemy offers an unforgettable experience in paradise. Each time I leave the island, I’m already planning my next trip back.

A trip like no other
My family has taken many vacations and work trips under the planning of Gina Porter at Far and Away -they have all been wonderful. Her suggestions of where to go, what to see and what to do have been spot on. Also, Gina has given us so many 'insights' that other travelers may not know-which enhanced our trips, such as since my passion is collecting handbags, Gina arranged for me to visit a designer handbag factory while traveling abroad. Her personal touches are great. Our family would be lost without her knowledgeable planning.

London was the best trip I've e ear taken
Our family has enlisted Gina as our travel professional for years-two honeymoons for our children, many family vacations, many work/groups trips and several intimate vacations for just my husband and me. They've all been great. My most favorite thing about Gina's bookings are the 'secret' treasures she books for us. Things that the masses know nothing about. I particularly loved our trip to London and staying at The Goring-just magical. <br/>We really allow Gina to guide us on what to do while on a trip-because she's proven to be so proficient in her travel knowledge. I feel blessed to have her help us. <br/><br/>Jana Brosin
