Colombier
Colombier is one of the island’s most secluded neighbourhoods and a haven for nature enthusiasts. It sits on the rugged northwestern coast of St. Barts. Due to its lack of road access, it remains the most untouched part of St. Barts as it is only reachable by offroad vehicle, boat or via scenic hike. It is home to the Saint Barthélemy Marine Nature Reserve, a great spot for snorkelling. Visitors cherish its quiet atmosphere and panoramic hiking trails. It is often chosen by travellers seeking a vacation rental in the Caribbean that offers serenity and a closer connection to nature.
Beaches & Water
Colombier Beach is one of St. Barts’ most private treasures, as it is famously untouched by direct road access. To reach it, travellers either embark on a scenic 20–45 minute hike along rugged coastal trails or arrive by boat, which adds to its sense of exclusivity.
Home to the Saint Barthélemy Marine Nature Reserve, the cove is protected and teeming with marine life. Its calm, crystalline waters are a paradise for snorkelers wanting to see coral reefs, starfish, rays, sea turtles, and occasionally dolphins gliding through the bay.
Hiking & Access
Reaching Colombier is an adventure in itself, with two distinct trails running through it: Petite Anse and Colombier Road. Petite Anse is a coastal path that winds around to the bay in about 20 minutes, with views of the Caribbean sea and a moderate hiking difficulty.
And for those seeking a challenge, the steeper trail, Colombier Road takes closer to 45 minutes, but rewards hikers with sweeping panoramas of the coastline. Journeying along either route, you’ll see glimpses of the island’s natural life like iguanas basking in the sun, bats hanging out in the shade, delicate orchids and hardy cacti, and even the occasional sighting of St. Barts’ protected snakes.
Every step through Colombier is a private expedition into nature.
Dining & Nearby Options
Colombier preserves its peaceful charm of an untouched rugged neighbourhood by being without famous restaurants, hotels, or beach clubs in the immediate bay area.
For dining or nightlife, guests of luxury villa rentals in St Barts usually head to the neighbourhoods of Flamands or Gustavia, only a short drive away. A popular alternative is to enjoy the exclusive services of a private chef and butler within your villa. It’s an ideal way to savour gourmet dining without leaving the tranquillity of Colombier.
