Nikki hasn’t traveled to St. Barths in 23 years, and O BOY, has it changed! She recently traveled there to celebrate her birthday with a few close friends and family. Read on for highlights from the trip, including outfits, beach clubs, lunch recommendations, and lots of celebrating!
The flight to the island is in a tiny prop plane with roughly ten seats. It’s not for the faint of heart! Even for the most experienced flyers, it’s rough.
The beaches in St. Barths are beautiful and fun. The best plan is to spend the day at a Beach Club. Nikki’s favorites are La Guérite, Shellona, and Le Toiny.
Lunches consist of great food, cocktails, and the best music. Lots of 80s pop!
During the day, Nikki mostly wore button-down shirts, dresses, coverups, and caftans. They were easy and colorful.
As for the night, St. Barth’s nighttime scene is wild. Nikki’s favorite spot is Le Ti St. Barth. It’s a cabaret restaurant offering a dinner show at 9 P.M. and an after-dinner party at 11 P.M. You can go into their back room and grab a costume. Get ready to dance on the tables!
Honorable mentions that weren’t included: Nikki Beach — sadly, she didn’t go to her namesake, but she heard it was a party and that Sundays are the best days to go. Cheval Blanc St. Barth for dinner (a very pretty hotel), Le Café for drinks, and shopping at Clic St. Barth (a popular shop there).
Special thanks to Jessie Randall for your recs! You nailed it 😉
And because you can’t do St. Barths without music, here’s Nikki’s playlist from the trip 🎶🙂
