  • Saint-Barthelemy, also known as St Barts, is a living legend among the Caribbean islands. The small capital, Gustavia, attracts visitors with impressive yachts in the harbour and the cosmopolitan jet set that has settled here since the 1950s. The island, which covers 21 km² (8.1 m²), impresses with its palm-fringed beaches such as the quiet Plage de Saline, the Anse du Gouverneur with its crystal-clear water and the lively Plage de Colombier. Gustavia itself invites you to discover its luxury boutiques and world-class restaurants – a perfect blend of Caribbean beauty and exclusive luxury that makes St Barts one of the most desirable travel destinations in the world.

    • Beach day at Le Barthelemy Hotel
    • Catamaran trip with swimming


    Tip from our travel concierge*:

    Relaxing hours on your private yacht: experience St Barts from the water on board an exclusive motorboat. You can stop for a swim or snorkel whenever you like. Let your gaze wander across the sparkling water, enjoy the Caribbean flair and treat yourself to refreshing drinks.

  • With its lush vegetation and gorgeous white beaches, Antigua promises a new place to relax for every day of the year, with a total of 365 beaches. The hilly interior also attracts visitors with its tropical nature. The capital, St John’s, still bears the marks of its colonial past: magnificent historical buildings line the streets, and the pastel-coloured houses at Redcliffe Quay offer boutiques, arts and crafts shops and cafes just waiting to be discovered. Fort James is worth a visit: the fortress, originally built in 1703 to protect the city against pirates, gives impressive views of the ocean and takes visitors back in time.

A must-try is rhum agricole, a local speciality made from sugar cane juice, which can be enjoyed in different varieties such as white, amber and aged. Fort-de-France combines history, culture and indulgence to create an unforgettable experience.

  • With snow-white beaches, turquoise waters and a tropical climate, Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines and a real picture-book idyll in the middle of the Caribbean. The island is a retreat far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where there are no cars and only a single road leads to the charming village of Old Wall. Most of the approximately 300 inhabitants live here, maintaining warm hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere. Mayreau is the perfect place to spend a few carefree days on the beach and a paradise for those who want to enjoy the Caribbean vibe.

Barbados is famous for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear water and year-round sunshine. Traces of the British colonial era are still visible in Bridgetown today – from a miniature version of London’s Trafalgar Square to driving on the left-hand side of the road. The old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011 and offers a fascinating blend of colonial heritage and Caribbean charm. Bridgetown is a place where history and joie de vivre come together, inviting you to explore and while away some time.
