Discover a Caribbean paradise in Gustavia
The red-roofed capital of the island of St. Barts, Gustavia serves up a sophisticated base for a Caribbean break. Whether partying with friends or making memories with the family, a stay in this delightfully-glamorous town promises a seductive blend of blonde-sand beaches, boutique shopping and gourmet dining. It's the perfect spot to kick back and relax, though those craving a little action will find the island's impossibly-blue waters a haven for everything from surfing and sailing to kayaking and kitesurfing. Gustavia vacation rentals add to the charm, offering a home-style stay on the doorstep of this classy cruise port.
Culinary and cultural appeal in Gustavia
The Wall House Museum, housed in a restored 18th-century Swedish building in Gustavia's pretty harbor, is an ideal pick for those keen to understand the island's culture a little better. From there, you might explore the ruins of Fort Gustave and the 17th-century Fort Karl, or perhaps head along the coast to the fishing village of Corossol, a traditional spot, where the highlights include characterful Creole houses, woven wares sold from the makers' doorsteps and the fascinating Seashell Museum. Back in Gustavia, a dinner of mouthwatering French-inspired cuisine is the perfect last stop before heading back to your rental.
Rest and relaxation in upmarket Gustavia
Upmarket Gustavia is the perfect place to indulge in a little rest and relaxation. Smart shopping streets lined with boutiques and chic one-of-a-kind stores beckon those keen on parting with their vacation spends, while buzzy beach bars line powder-soft stretches of white sand, framed by postcard-perfect scenes of yachts and sailboats bobbing in the waters beyond. Lucky enough to have nabbed a Gustavia vacation rental in February? Expect a full-on festival atmosphere courtesy of the annual Mardi Gras celebrations, a colorful spectacle that fills the island's capital with joy.
Blissful weather in Gustavia
Want the best of the weather during your Gustavia vacation rental break? The winter season of December through March offers blissful temperatures, sunny skies and very little chance of rain. You'll pay a little more for your island getaway should you decide to take a winter break, though compromise for many travelers often comes in the form of a visit in April through June, a seasonal sweet spot that sits nicely between winter prices and the onset of stormy showers from fall. Regardless, temperatures here vary only by around 20 degrees, rarely falling below the low 70s.
