Michael Kors’s Guide to St. Bart’s

It’s not news to anyone that I love the beach—and St. Bart’s is one of my favorite places for a quick winter escape. Its blend of French roots and Creole culture gives the island plenty of personality and a very European-elegance-meets-tropical-ease vibe. From the food to the shopping, there is plenty to do.

First things first: I say, head to Saline beach. It’s one of the most beautiful in the world, with turquoise water, white sand, and a gorgeous crowd. The people-watching is unparalleled.

I’ve pulled together my little black book of island picks, including where to enjoy a sunset cocktail, shop for fine local products, and sample St. Bart’s distinctive cuisine.

At sunset, head to Shell Beach’s Dõ Brazil and grab a cocktail from the bar. Afterward, order the “hot pot”—a mix of mahimahi, shrimp, and scallops in a rich sauce.

Sometimes you just want a burger. And those times, you should head to Le Select. It has a classic, old-school environment and the best burger in town. It is a cheeseburger in paradise.

Book Cheval Blanc St.-Barth Isle de France for the great Flamands beach location or Le Sereno for privacy and the clean Christian Liaigre design. They’re both totally glamorous while still being laid-back.
