Colombier is a residential quarter at the northwestern tip of Saint Barth, two and a half miles from Gustavia, reached by road beyond Flamands.
It should not be confused with Anse de Colombier, the protected beach that shares its name: no road goes down to it.
You reach it on a coastal path of about a mile, twenty-five to thirty minutes over rocky ground, or by boat from Gustavia.
There is nothing down there, no restaurant and no restrooms, and that is exactly what has preserved the bay.
The villas sit on the surrounding hills, with some of the widest views on the island.
Allow fifteen minutes to Saint Jean and around twenty to Gustavia.
A villa rental in Colombier suits guests who come for quiet and for the view.
