Latest reviews on St. Barthelemy island's beaches

Saint-Jean beach
10 Rylan Harlowe

What an amazing beach! Our entire family had a wonderful day here. The sand can be a tad coarse until you take a dip in the stunning water, which is absolutely breathtaking.

St Barth beach
10 Zara Alimova

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at! From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome and the staff went above and beyond to fulfill our every need and want. The breakfast is outstanding, offering not only continental options but also delicious French crepes, pancakes, and waffles! They even have eggs cooked to your liking and tasty sausages. The facility itself is brand new and exceptionally clean, with a stylish boutique touch. Even the beach beds are covered with luxurious designer linens. The cleaning staff is incredibly polite, and the young beach attendants are friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Our large family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our time there and felt completely happy and relaxed. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and the presence of turtles, from hatchlings to adults, was truly amazing! We will definitely be returning in the future.

Gouverneur beach
10 Johann Schmidt-Neumann

This island is a hidden gem, boasting European standards that set it apart from the typical Asian islands. Impeccably clean and well-maintained, it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of popular tourist destinations. The island's small size ensures a serene atmosphere and a lack of overcrowding, with only well-mannered visitors in sight. The abundance of small shops and restaurants, along with pristine beaches, make for a delightful vacation experience. While getting here may require a few extra stops, the island's tranquil beauty is well worth the journey.

Colombier beach
10 Lucas Fenderson.

This beach is absolutely stunning and offers exceptional snorkeling opportunities. The best part is that it's not overcrowded, as it requires a brief hike of approximately 10 minutes to reach. Additionally, it's a nature preserve, which means that you may have the chance to witness some sea turtles in their natural habitat.

Plage de Saline

This beach is absolutely amazing! It's serene, peaceful, and breathtakingly beautiful. If you're looking for a way to lift your spirits, just take a trip to experience pure joy.
