In order to get to St. Bart’s, you have to take a ride in a tiny private airplane, probably pushing off from the nearby island St. Martin’s. This sets the mood for the entire trip: isolated, simple, thrilling, and enjoyable.

St Bart’s is the queer rich go, and while there is no venue which is targeted specifically to gay men or lesbians, there are many restaraunts, hotels, and beaches which are popular among other queer tourists. On top of that, you’re not going to have to hide who you are there. While St. Bart’s is certainly no bastion of acceptance or high mindedness, it is very live and let live.

Some beaches where you might want to head if you have enough money to vacation in St. Bart’s are Seline and Gouverneur, where you’ll see many gay couples and friends. There are many beachside houses and houses within town which can be rented by vacationers as well, offering the privacy and spaciousness which cannot be found in an hotel. If you’d rather not have a house all to yourself, you should check out such excellent hotels as Le Toiny, which is set on the beach and has luxurious quarters.
