Summer in St. Barth is a completely different story from winter in St. Barth. Summer is a quieter season which will allow you to authentically explore the depths of the island. However, you need to be aware that some places decide to take a long break so it is very important to know what’s open and what’s buzzing.
For example, La Petite Plage, a new place opened in January, is currently closed for renovation. Good thing there are a hundred other places worth a visit on that little but fascinating island.
Wednesday is a signature night at la Guérite, where you get to experience the coolest beats while enjoying the finest greek food.
The most delicious Japanese restaurant Kinugawa is famous for its’ Thursdays with its fantastic signature cocktails
Spend your Friday night dancing till you drop at Bagatelle.
Gain your energy back: get some local food at lunch on Saturday at Lil’ Rock in St. Jean.
To finish up your week in a crazy but memorable way, spend your afternoon in Nikki beach…
…and end that day with some cocktails at Gyp Sea where you will get a chance to see the most beautiful sunset sky.
To feel sporty and adventurous add Le Barthélemy to your list on Tuesday. Do some kayaking, hikes and turtle watching at the bay while sipping the healthiest strawberry mocktail.
After a busy weekend, treat yourself with a boat day around the island to explore unique hidden places, see some whales, dolphins and try Caribbean exotic fruits.
To stay authentic, watch the sunset at Gouverneur with a picnic in a western style. To get the fullest experience of that Caribbean island, go fishing and aim for catching a fish, nothing less but a 28 kg Mahi-Mahi.
