WHAT TO DO: After shopping for sexy beachwear, head to Hotel Saints-Barths Isle de France or Hotel Guanahani for a couples spa treatment. For something completely different, book an astrological compatibility reading with resident guru Hubert Delamotte at Hostellerie des Trois Forces. Afterward, relax on one of the island’s bare as you dare beaches: Saline and Gouvenuer, where bathing suit tops are rarely worn and bottoms, too, are optional. Then, dance the night ways at Nikki Beach, with sexy banquette beds on the sand.
WHERE TO STAY: Hotel Le Toiny, a hillside enclave where A-listers are known to hole up in seductive cottages with toile-draped four-poster beds; Hotel Saint-Barths Isle de France, where beachfront rooms feature deep soaking tubs and Jacuzzis; and Hotel Guanahani & Spa, for colorful West Indies-style cottages, a crescent beach and a serene Clarins spa.
