Iconic Saint-Barth 
& Anguilla

Six nautical miles north of Anguilla, an enchantingly wild islet, emerges like a mirage, adrift in turquoise waters where time dissolves into salt and sunlight. This protected sanctuary embodies true escape, accessible only to those seeking paradise. Freedom is at your feet, walking ribbons of snow-white sand and swimming crystalline waters. Overhead, frigates and terns wheel across endless skies while beneath, kaleidoscopic reefs teem with life, making this stop a dreamscape for snorkelers. One cay shaped by wind, the other by serenity, this marine reserve remains gloriously raw yet refined—where a simply grilled lobster with chilled cocktails becomes pure poetry. 

Measuring a mere 10 kilometers long and four wide, Saint-Barthélemy could have remained a hidden pearl in the Caribbean. But when David Rockefeller built a retreat here in 1957, followed by JFK in the 1960s, this exquisite island quietly became a secret haven for the world’s elite. Arriving by sea, red-tiled roofs and lush palm-fringed hills frame Gustavia’s harbor, where yachts drift beside sailboats in serene harmony. The capital exudes the charm of Saint-Tropez, yet with a Caribbean twist. Whether you are leisurely browsing luxury boutiques and emerging designer stores, or strolling to the Place de la Rétrocession, in flip-flops or in heels, iconic St. Barth offers a blissful blend of effortless beauty, sun-drenched scenery, and unforgettable style.

Legend has it that in 1648, the French and the Dutch divided the island now known as Saint Martin and Sint Maarten, by scurrying off in opposite directions from a central point, claiming terrain as they walked. Spend a delightful day surveying the result as you explore Marigot, capital of the northern French half, brimming with colonial houses and bustling markets offering Creole charm and irresistible codfish fritters. Make your way up to the ruins of Fort Louis for majestic bay views and a peek at Anguilla out on the horizon. Further north, the tiny, traditional lolo restaurants of Grand Case dish out authentic fare and convivial spirit. While down on the Dutch side, casinos and duty-free bring a different kind of vibrancy to the island spirit, as do the white sands and lazy turquoise waves of Mullet Bay.
