Even beyond the glitz and glamour, everything about the Caribbean island is true paradise.

The allure of glamorous St. Barths begins when you board that tiny shuttle plane from a neighboring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/palm-heights-grand-cayman-boutique-hotel">Caribbean</a> island or that <a href="https://www.flytradewind.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAu9vwBRAEEiwAzvjq-0PsPN4bfKh6lH6uwgkaBCRTa99u4V5MN38ovyTH6yr42ldcSDfVQRoCDVEQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Tradewind</a> flight from San Juan. Larger commercial planes require longer runways that&nbsp;don&rsquo;t exist on the beautiful French-Caribbean island, meaning the only way to land at Saint Barth&eacute;lemy Airport is via a&nbsp;smaller jet. This is just one part of the island&rsquo;s exclusive appeal, which has lured in celebrities and one-percenters worldwide for years. If you&#39;re headed to St. Barths, you know you&#39;re about to have a luxurious trip.

But beyond the glitz and glamour of champagne parties at Nikki Beach, decadent stays at Cheval Blanc and Eden Roc, and inevitable <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/scorpios-mykonos-luxury-travel-soho-house-2019">celebrity run-ins</a>, there&rsquo;s so much more to uncover when you visit St. Barths. Beyond the scene, this Caribbean paradise is really just that: paradise. If you plan it right, a long weekend is all you need to have a rejuvenating experience&mdash;though, with all the luxurious experiences you&#39;ll have, chances are you&#39;ll end up wanting to stay longer. From the unspoiled, white sand beaches and&nbsp;translucent blue waters to secret swimming enclaves&nbsp;and fresh pastries at local bakeries, we&rsquo;ve created a guide for how to spend three&nbsp;perfect days in St. Barths.

Day 1

Check in to <a href="https://www.lebarthelemyhotel.com/en" target="_blank">Le Barth&eacute;lemy Hotel &amp; Spa</a> for a luxury hideaway away from the&nbsp;crowds on the quiet bay of Grand Cul-de-Sac. The beachside hotel features 44 rooms and suites, each featuring their own terraces and private plunge pools. Other highlights include a spa&nbsp;as well as Aux Amis restaurant, which features al fresco dining experiences serving up fresh, island-inspired French cuisine. If you&#39;re traveling in a larger group,&nbsp;check out their sister company <a href="https://www.lebarthvillas.com/en" target="_blank">Le Barth Villas</a>, where you can rent a luxury villa to fit your lifestyle&mdash;the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/millennial-travel-hotels-2020">swoon-worthy Instagram photos</a> are an added bonus. Once you&rsquo;ve settled in, work off that travel fatigue by taking a hike to the natural pools of Petit Cul de Sac. Head back to the hotel for a sunset cocktail on the rooftop, then enjoy a seaside dinner at island-favorite&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bonitosbh.com/en/" target="_blank">Bonito</a>, which offers&nbsp;a fusion of Peruvian and French cuisine. Don&rsquo;t miss ordering one of their signature, bespoke cocktails to kick off what&#39;s sure to be an evening to remember.&nbsp;

Day 2

Now that you&#39;re settled into your accommodations, explore the island by sea. Rent a boat of your choice from <a href="http://www.masterski-pilou.com/en/masterski-pilou-st-barts-luxury-yacht-rental-with-skipper-st-barts-sin-maartin-anguilla/" target="_blank">MasterSki Pilou</a> yacht charters and spend the day visiting all of St. Barths&#39;&nbsp;quiet local beaches, like Saline, Gouverneur, Shell Beach, and Colombier. Once you&rsquo;re ready for lunch, head to the ultra-sceney Plage de St. Jean for a meal at celeb-favorite hotspot&nbsp;<a href="https://saint-barth.nikkibeach.com/" target="_blank">Nikki Beach</a>. Sip on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/paul-de-lanouvelle-champagne-2019">champagne</a> or spray it&ndash;anything goes here. Once you&rsquo;re partied out, head back to the hotel and indulge in a spa treatment at Le Spa. From there, continue the relaxed mood with&nbsp;a toned-down dinner at <a href="http://www.tamarinstbarth.com/" target="_blank">Tamarin</a>.&nbsp;

Day 3

Embrace vacation time by sleeping in, then begin your last morning by stopping at <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g147339-d3266401-Reviews-La_Petite_Colombe-Gustavia_St_Barthelemy.html" target="_blank">La Petite Colombe</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mayastogo.com/" target="_blank">Maya&rsquo;s to Go</a> for freshly baked pastries. Since you&rsquo;ll likely need a break from the sun, spend the day exploring St. Barths&#39;&nbsp;main town, Gustavia. There, you&rsquo;ll find a range of local boutiques and&nbsp;high-end luxury brands to shop (or window shop). When you&rsquo;re in the mood for lunch, stop into <a href="http://shellonabeach.com/en/saint-barts/" target="_blank">Shellona</a> on Shell Beach for a French-bohemian vibe. Head back to the hotel for an <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/sleep-solutions-insomnia-routine">afternoon nap</a> before your farewell dinner at <a href="https://www.stbarths-restaurant.com/index.php/item/santafe-st-barth/" target="_blank">Santa Fe</a>, a local favorite and the perfect place to wind down the trip.
