What an All-Inclusive St Barts Week Actually Includes
The line items of a villa all-inclusive week — included, optional, and who bills what.
The core: house, table, wheels
Every serious all-inclusive frame contains the villa, a chef formula (from breakfasts-only to full board), one or two cars, and airport transfers timed to the SXM connection. That core makes the island effortless; everything else is intent.
The usual seconds: water and care
A boat day — Fourchue at anchor, Colombier at snorkel hour — and the care layer: provisioning before arrival, housekeeping cadence, childcare or spa at the villa. These join the frame according to who is travelling.
What stays deliberately outside
Restaurant bills, boutiques and the personal whims of the week. A good frame leaves room for appetite — a stay with every hour pre-paid is a cruise, and the island deserves better.
Who bills you, and why it matters
Each provider — villa agency, chef, car company, boat — contracts with and bills you directly at their public rates; the curation itself is a flat advisory fee. The model is explained plainly in our guide to how all-inclusive works here.
Questions
Are flights part of all-inclusive?
No — you book flights to SXM and the 10-minute hop or ferry yourself, though the transfer timing on island is handled for you.
Is the chef’s food included in the chef’s rate?
Chef fees and provisioning are separate lines: you pay the chef’s daily rate plus the market cost of what you eat — transparent and itemised.
