Anse des Cayes

Anse des Cayes is a tranquil coastal area on the northern side of St. Barts, known for its wild beauty and relaxed spirit. The beach stretches in a crescent of golden sand backed by rugged hills and is often framed by the rhythmic sound of waves crashing onto the shore. Popular among surfers for its steady swells, the area also appeals to travellers who enjoy a more natural and untamed setting.
While Anse des Cayes feels secluded, it remains conveniently close to Gustavia and St. Jean, offering easy access to dining, shopping, and island life. The villas here are often perched on the hillside or set directly above the beach, giving guests sweeping sea views and cool ocean breezes.

Surf & Serenity

Beloved by surfers and nature lovers alike, Anse des Cayes captures the essence of laid-back island living.

Whether you’re watching the surfers from your terrace or walking barefoot along the sand, this area perfectly balances vitality with calm.

Between Seclusion & Sophistication

Despite its peaceful, off-the-beaten-path feel, Anse des Cayes is only minutes from the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Gustavia and St. Jean. This ideal location makes it easy to enjoy the island’s luxuries while returning to your private sanctuary by the sea. Guests love this balance of accessibility and seclusion, the best of both worlds on St. Barts.
