Netferry in the Caribbean: the island of Saint Barts

Today NetFerry takes you on a trip to the Caribbean, get ready to live the dream: beautiful colours and enchanted beaches await you on this perfect holiday. Today we are exploring St Barts, also known as Saint Barthélemy, located in the French Antilles.  This small island in the Caribbean sea, surrounded by wonderful and crystal clear waters is ever-popular with tourists from all over the world and is known above all as a luxury destination. Today NetFerry allows you to also discover the elegant island of St Barts, which was once a Swedish colony.

The temperature here is always good, between 22 and 30 degrees; the perfect climate to enjoy the beaches and go hiking around the islet. Upon our arrival in Gustavia, the capital, we loved the views over this port city with its beaches, red roofs and bay full of luxury boats, it looks spectacular from the aeroplane! Gustavia welcomes you into a very elegant and refined atmosphere, its full of luxury shops, trendy restaurants serving delicacies, and nightclubs with excellent live music and fantastic tropical cocktails. Don't miss a walk to the ruins around Gustavia Fort, because from here you can enjoy magical views overlooking the harbour.

The historical core of the island is a fishing village called Corossol, where the atmosphere is tranquil and calm. The most magical parts of St Barth are certainly the beaches; there are beautiful, quiet stretches of soft, golden sand, party beaches or deserted beaches surrounded by luxuriant nature. La Plage is one of the most popular, its located in St Jean and is a wooden shack, where you can taste local island dishes and enjoy the breathtaking views. It's also a party spot, with guaranteed good vibes and music. 

If you prefer to go for more low key places that local people also frequent, then don't miss Sayolita Cocktail Bar. It's a great place, located on a hill where you can sip excellent cocktails alongside local surfers and beach bums. One of the best-known hotels on St Barth is Eden Rock, located on a rocky promontory in St-Jean Bay. They have a wellness centre and the great staff will attend to your every need! They also organise activities and excursions to discover the island, both by boat and on foot.
