New Year’s Eve is one of the most exceptional St Barts events during the holiday that devoted followers return every year to celebrate with family and friends. Villas, hotels, and the restaurants and chic shops of Gustavia are all brimming, and those accustomed to enjoying the perfect weather conditions that the island boasts this time of year are particularly merry on New Year’s Eve.
At midnight, above Fort Oscar, the night sky is suddenly lit up by magical fireworks, and all the magnificent superyachts moored off the island sound their foghorns in unison. This extraordinary festive evening continues through the night, and the first day of the new year is celebrated under the most favorable auspices.
