Hip Retreats for the Affluent - St Barts Villa Rentals
St Barts Villa Rentals

St Barts is well-known among trend setters as a place to go to between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

But do you know why renting a villa in St Barts has been ranked by an American Express survey as a trop trend among the rich?

Several reasons for this:
- it is a small island that is super safe (unlike many of the surrounding island of the Caribbean)
- it is French, which means great food
- it is influenced by the American work ethic, which means great service (unlike the rest of France)
- it boasts beautiful villas with breathtaking views
- it is like a small village where you happen to stumble upon your friends, such as Jimmy Buffet, Jon Bon Jovi, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gisele Bundchen, Wall Street bankers, fashion designers, etc.

It appears that now, more than ever, affluent travelers are seeking the luxury of villas like those found on St Barts. A recent report released by American Express shows a drastic increase in the amount of requests that their Travel Specialists are getting specific to villa rental. My take? Everyone else is finally catching on to what those of us who are here often already know; St Barts villas are the most luxurious in the world and the island itself is a destination like no other. These specialists report that France and the Carribean - particularly St Barts - are among the most popular destinations for private villa vacations. The majority of these villa requests are weeklong vacations and are being planned up to nine months in advance. My personal opinion is that, in the near future, these vacation requests are going to need to be booked even further in advance. I know that when browsing Expedia for villas on St Barts, there are many that are book solid through next spring - and it's only October (yourstbarts)
