On the island of Saint Barth, located in the Caribbean, every December is special. Here everyone can celebrate the New Year with their favorite celebrities.
At your service are large-scale parties with top DJs, glamorous dinners in luxurious restaurants, parties in bars and on the beaches, as well as the long-awaited fireworks show, which can impress with its scope.
Most celebrities come to the annual big concert of the international fund UNICEF. In past years, Rita Ora, Leonardo DiCaprio, Luke Evans, Drake and Lenny Kravitz have been featured here. During the event, funds are raised to help children from different parts of the world. In 2023, it is scheduled for December 28, but the exact location is still unknown. There are many ways you can participate in charity: buy a special cocktail or purchase a valuable item at the Simon de Pury auction.
Sailing regatta is one of the most anticipated events. However, this is not really a competition, but rather fun entertainment. Any yacht can take part in the 24-mile swim without restrictions, and the route runs around the entire island. The entertainment program also includes the usual fireworks displays. On December 31, the sky of the pearl of the Caribbean islands is painted with hundreds of bright lights. It is better to watch them from one of the many beaches.
Another option for celebrating among celebrities is to spend New Year's Eve on a yacht. For those wary of seasickness, try one of the island's many restaurants. The establishments mainly specialize in French and Creole cuisines and organize dinners in different formats. Bonito and La Guerite, for example, organize special gastro parties on December 31st. And Tamarin, Zion and Esprit, make a choice in favor of a calmer and more comfortable pastime.
To have time to see the maximum number of unusual locations, rent a car. It’s best to rent the optimal model from one of the available services for at least a week so as not to worry about mobility and availability. And make sure to book your accommodation in advance, because New Year's Eve is the busiest tourist season in St. Barths.
