Most often described as “elite” due to it’s sophisticated French vibe, St Barth packs a lot into a small island package. Considered by many to be the culinary capital of the Ca-ribbean, its cuisine is rivaled only by it’s chic, luxury boutiques. And what else is St. Barth known for? It’s 22 white-sandy beaches - each of which is magnificently uncrowded.

The entire day will be yours to do as you wish on the quaint island of St. Barth. Uniquely YPO, this day will give you an opportunity to explore the island at your leisure. Will you spend your time basking in the Caribbean sun? Perhaps you’ll explore the 200-plus duty-free boutiques that St barth is known for? Or, maybe you’ll dive in to the history of the island at the local museum? It’s up to you to choose your Caribbean escape. Relax, dine, and uncover all the excite-ment beaming from this island.
