ST. BARTHELEMY remains a well-guarded secret

O ne has to be a bit of a connoisseur to appreciate the stark
beauty of these few acres of abrupt hills of quartz and lime,
dotted with aloe and blue gaïac trees. Amazing hotels, with
few but exquisitely appointed rooms amidst lush green
undergrowth, and cliff-hugging architects’ villas overlooking
the island’s inlets in all their minimalist glory, offer their
vistas unaffectedly, like barefoot contessas.
