A hop, skip and jump off the East Coast of the US sits Saint-Barthélemy, aka St Barths.
Perhaps the Caribbean’s most exclusive yet equally tranquil island, this unspoilt French outpost has long been a favourite of the jet-set. From the iconic hotel of Eden Rock – with an illustrious guest book of glamorous greats – to the stylishly chic hideaway of Cheval Blanc (with France's luxury powerhouse LVMH behind the scenes).
Whilst the island is firmly (and oh so proudly) French, there are hints of Swedish influence most noticeable in the harbour capital of Gustavia. Add blissful sandy beaches, an unparalleled restaurant scene, and show-stopping sunsets to the mix – it's easy to fall for the Creole charm of St Barths.
