Fouquet's Saint-Barth

It’s no wonder St. Barths is a billionaire’s playground. There’s something extra alluring about the sea here—it’s eternally glass clear, yet turquoise as the sky. Settled like a bullfinch bird atop its hill, Foquet's is within walking distance of Gustavia, the main town on this ten-mile isle, and the powdery sands of Shell Beach. But if you prefer to just hole up in your room, we won’t blame you: even the “starter” category is nothing short of exquisite, with a 413-square-foot private terrace overlooking the water below and an ultra glam, 538-square-foot interior serenely outfitted in cloud whites and rattan blondes. For the full Beyonce experience, book five room Villa Diane—with 4,300-square-feet to roam, a circular infinity plunge pool that seems to blend in with Gustavia’s harbor below, and a private terrace attached to every room.

An artful 21-room gem where every room overlooks the Caribbean sea, with a Francophile-worthy restaurant and airy bar.

Hungry. The red roofed boutique hotel is also home to a waterside Greek restaurant on Shell Beach, Shellona, helmed by Athens-born chef Yiannis Kioroglou. Trust us: order the fish carpaccio with caviar.

The intimate hotel has made room for a yoga studio and a spa where there is no menu; treatments are tailored to you and your specific needs. (Bonus: they use Biologique Recherche products).

There’s only one thing better than cocktail hour—and that’s cocktail hour in St. Barths. Chamomile-infused negronis? Check. Sage margaritas? Check. You order a hibiscus cosmo and sprawl out on the terrace to watch the sun set. #Heaven.
