ST. BARTS, CARIBBEAN – There are Caribbean islands, and then there is St. Barts. Small enough to feel like a secret, sophisticated enough to keep the world’s most discerning travellers returning year after year, this eight-square-mile French island in the Lesser Antilles occupies a category entirely its own.
A.M.A Selections has built its 2026 villa portfolio with that exclusivity in mind — a hand-selected collection of exceptional properties that capture the island’s particular alchemy: French elegance, Caribbean warmth, and a lifestyle that exists nowhere else on earth.
An Island That Refuses to Compromise
St. Barts has no mass tourism, no high-rise hotels, and no interest in being anything other than exactly what it is. Commercial flights land on one of the world’s most dramatic short runways. Development is strictly controlled. What remains is an extraordinary concentration of natural beauty, world-class cuisine, and a pace of life built entirely around pleasure.
The beaches tell a compelling story on their own. Shell Beach offers dramatic views of Gustavia harbour. St. Jean is the social heart of the island, framed by turquoise shallows and lined with beach clubs that define the term. Gouverneur and Saline, accessible only on foot, deliver the secluded white-sand coves that luxury travellers increasingly travel the world to find.
The A.M.A Selections St. Barts portfolio spans the island’s most sought-after locations — from contemporary hillside retreats with panoramic Caribbean views to beachfront properties with direct access to the water. Properties feature private pools, ocean-facing terraces, and interiors that reflect the island’s distinctly French aesthetic: refined without being formal, luxurious without being ostentatious.
For families, the collection includes child-friendly villas set back from the coast in lush, private grounds. For couples and groups, seafront properties offer the kind of direct beach access and sunset views that define the St. Barts experience. Each property has been personally inspected by the A.M.A Selections team to meet the company’s exacting standards for quality and character.
Beyond the Villa
Gustavia — the capital and principal harbour — hosts an extraordinary concentration of fine restaurants alongside designer boutiques more commonly found on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The blend of French culinary tradition with fresh Caribbean ingredients creates a food culture that genuinely surprises first-time visitors. Water sports, yacht charters, spa experiences, and island excursions are all easily arranged.
A.M.A Selections’ concierge team handles pre-arrival planning and provides on-the-ground support throughout each stay — ensuring guests spend their time living the island rather than organising it.
Bookings Now Open
