Boarding Call: St. Barts

by Guide Login November 06, 2024

St Barths Surf Vacation

 

When it comes to surfing in style, St. Barts is in a league of its own, and no spot captures the island’s unique allure quite like Hotel Manapany. Imagine stepping from your private villa directly onto the sand. No winding paths or “close enough” beach access here. Hotel Manapany is the only resort in St. Barts with true beachfront villas, meaning you can roll out of bed and into the waves while the rest of the family sleeps in, or dive into one of the many activities offered by the resort. This direct access to the ocean brings a whole new level of luxury and convenience, blending the island’s famed art de vivre (The French art of living) with the thrill of surfing right outside your door, perfect for those eager to hit the waves at a moment’s notice.

St. Barts boasts a dreamy tropical climate year-round, with an average of 300 sunny days per year and water temperatures hovering between a warm 77-82°F (25-28°C) - perfect for slipping into boardshorts. Timing your visit, however, can make all the difference for the best surf. October to April is prime surf season, with November through February offering the most reliable, larger swells. These months bring consistent winter groundswells, making it easy to paddle out and ride clean waves straight from Hotel Manapany’s beachfront.

While Hotel Manapany's beachfront break offers friendly left-handers right on your doorstep, the island has a diverse surf lineup to explore. Just a quick drive from the resort, spots like Lorient, St. Jean, and Flamands provide sheltered waves ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers. For more seasoned surfers craving a challenge, St. Barts has hidden gems: Le Toiny’s left-hand point break lights up beautifully with the right swell, offering a clean, powerful ride. Meanwhile, Pointe Milou’s right-hand point is a faster break that can be a highlight for experienced surfers. There are even offshore breaks for those wanting to venture out by boat for a more secluded session.

The island offers endless adventures both on land and at sea. Embark on a wildlife excursion to observe turtles in their natural habitat, sail around the island by catamaran, dive into the turquoise waters to uncover mysterious shipwrecks or explore all sixteen beaches with a gourmet picnic hamper in hand.

Get inspired by the island’s artistic side with visits to museums, galleries, and creative workshops. Kids can enjoy hours of fun at the beachfront pool or in the dedicated kids’ room, packed with games and activities like ping pong, video games, and soccer tables.
