History of St-Barthélemy Airport
The airport of St-Barthélemy was once called Saint-Jean-Gustave-III, Gustave III being the Swedish sovereign who had bought the island from France in 1785. Sweden finally sold the island to France less than a century later and the airport is now called Saint-Barthélemy-Rémy-de-Haenen, in tribute to the French adventurer who first landed on the island. Rémy de Haenen, an aviation pioneer in the Caribbean, later became mayor of St-Barth.
Recommandations
St-Barthélemy is the smallest island in the French West Indies. Away from the crowd, you can rest in peace. AEROAFFAIRES recommends that you stroll on its many beaches, especially those of Colombier, Saint-Jean, Gouverneur and Anse Marigot, the only grey sandy beach on the island.
The beach of Grand Cul de Sac is the ideal place for all water activities (kayaking, snorkeling,…).
You can also climb to the top of Le Morne de Vitet, whose highest point is 286 metres. To grab some bargains, you have to go to Gustavia, where the port area is “duty free”.
AEROAFFAIRES recommends the luxury hotel Le Barthélemy. Along a magnificent bay facing the ocean, it is also a paradise for gourmets, who will appreciate the cuisine of the Michelin-starred chef Guy Martin. You will also find all the comforts you can expect by staying at Villa Marie Saint-Barth, a 5-star hotel overlooking the heights of Colombier.
