How to travel à Saint-Barthélemy
How to go alone
Going on a trip alone to Saint-Barthélemy is not a problem. You can easily find accommodations, car rentals and plane tickets on the Internet or through a travel agency (the price of the ticket will be much lower if you plan ahead). The island being very "Americanized", you will also find concierge services that will take care of all your wishes on the spot so that your stay is only pleasure and relaxation. Group travel, honeymoon, family trip, solo stay... the beautiful beaches and turquoise sea are the guarantee of a dream vacation and a sweet life.
How to go on a tour
The Caribbean islands are not new destinations in the programs of travel agencies and tour operators, and the links between them and tourism service providers are long-standing in St. Barts. It will therefore be easy to find good deals in the form of packages including flights, transportation and accommodation, whether or not all-inclusive, in the form of tailor-made trips or even guided tours. Let's also mention that the paradise island is located on the classic itinerary of many cruise tours.
How to get around
There is a good interconnection between Saba, Anguilla, St. Barts and St. Martin. If you are afraid of landing in St. Barth (the runway is quite short), you can reach it by sea from St. Martin. The crossing takes about 1 hour 30 minutes from Marigot and 45 minutes from Oyster Pond. If you arrive alone by boat, the port is equipped to accommodate all sizes of yachts (check with the harbor master's office for availability). Please note that anchoring is regulated, so ask about it! On Saint Barth, there is no public transportation on the island, the size of the island does not make it essential, so hitchhiking is quite common and locals or tourists will gladly take you. You can also use a cab or a rental car.

Discover Saint-Barthélemy
Saint-Barthélemy is perhaps the best-known island in the French West Indies. This 24 km² confetti attracts the wildest fantasies. Stars and international jet-setters have made it their home since the 1960s, after American billionaire David Rockefeller fell in love with it. But Saint-Barthélemy is much more than a celebrity haven. The art of living à la Saint-Barth can be felt in the relaxed, sincere welcome. It's all about balance, between discreet luxury and simplicity. Everyone knows everyone, everyone is on first-name terms, and people bump into each other several times a day. Hitchhiking is commonplace, and people drive around in small cars. A French village where life is good and you can enjoy every moment. A true definition of hedonism, where you can dine in the best restaurants in the Caribbean after an afternoon on an almost deserted beach!
