Gustavia is the horseshoe-shaped capital of St. Barth’s and the most commercial parts of the island. During the high season, especially New Year’s Eve, everyone comes out to see the mega-yachts in the harbor and maybe even be invited aboard for the all-night parties. For those staying on land, there’s super-chic shopping, whether it’s at Hermès and Cartier or at the only-in-St. Barth’s boutiques, and best of all, it’s all duty-free.
