THE HOT LIST Top 10
1 SAINT BARTH’S
Not even the most powerful hurricane can take away the effortlessly chic vibe of Saint Barth’s. There are enough idyllic white-sand beaches to try out a new patch of sand every day and plenty of nightlife spots to dance the night away.
BEST TIME TO VISIT November through June offers the best weather—many hotels, including Cheval Blanc, shut down for hurricane season, from September through mid-October. Christmas and New Year’s brings a see-and-be-seen crowd, so prices skyrocket.
WHERE TO STAY Cheval Blanc has prime real estate on dreamy Flamands Beach and boasts one of the islands best spas from cult brand Guerlain. Whitewashed rooms and bungalows are accented in neutral and pastel hues, and you can choose between a beach or garden setting. Be warned: You’ll want to buy everything you see at the weekly poolside fashion shows hosted by the hotel’s boutique. From $820, including breakfast and airport transfers; ChevalBlanc.com
WHAT TO DO Colombier Beach is only accessible by foot or boat. The 30-minute hike is worth the effort, as it’s consistently ranked one of the island’s most gorgeous stretches of sand. Hire a guide through Body + Soul and tack on a massage after your trek. (BodyandSoul-StBarth.com)
