St Barthélemy / Special Interests / Solo Travel

St Barths is an extremely lively island and while there are many bars and restaurants where you can expect to run into people there is not really a singles’ scene. As with much of the rest of the Caribbean, most people travel as a couple, or in families and groups of friends travelling together. There are many young expatriates on island, mainly French, working on island, so there are crowds around. You will meet people if you make an effort but it is not necessarily that easy.

If you would like to hide away on your own for while then you are better off staying in a hotel or villa resort, where you will be looked after, rather than in a villa or an apartment complex, where you may find that you are left pretty much to your own devices.
