Gouverneur
Explore Gouverneur, a neighbourhood celebrated for having one of St. Barts’ most breath-taking beaches. Its wide sweep of powder-white sand and shimmering waters are surrounded by dramatic green hills.
Gouverneur feels like a secret hideaway as it is located in an underdeveloped part of the island, yet it remains easily accessible by car. For those seeking privacy and connection to nature, Gouverneur is a perfect spot to find a vacation rental and an authentic Caribbean escape.
Beaches
Gouverneur Beach is the highlight of this region. Uninterrupted by hotels, restaurants, or beach clubs, its appeal lies in its raw simplicity: an unspoiled shoreline, crystal-clear waters, and panoramic views stretching toward St. Kitts and St. Eustatius on the horizon.
The calm, sandy bottom of the shore makes it excellent for swimming, while the surrounding cliffs offer stunning backdrops for picturesque beach walks.
Dining & Nearby Options
There are no restaurants directly on Gouverneur Beach which adds to its sense of privacy. Visitors often picnic on the beach, an experience that can be curated by your luxury villa rental staff. For fine dining options, Gustavia is only a short drive away, with iconic options like Bonito, Bagatelle, and Black Ginger.
Or, you can have a five-star experience within the comfort of your St. Barts villa rental as we offer a private chef and a butler free of charge with each booking.
Things to Do
This region is best known for it’s swimming, sunbathing on soft sand, or snorkelling along the rocky edges of the bay without the interruption of strangers.
Gouverneur is also a favourite for photographers, thanks to its rugged landscape and dramatic coastal views. Guests staying in a villa rental often combine a Gouverneur beach day with fine dining and shopping in Gustavia.
