I Visited the Secret Island Where Billionaires Holiday

[@adamdaniel5119]

I used to go to St Barts every week or two when I worked on cruise ships. I believe they ended up stopping most ships arriving as our passengers were not the type of tourists that the island wanted. St Barts is beautiful and there are (or were) some amazing restaurants there. It was 300 dollars for dinner for two back in 1997, god knows what it costs now.

[@LuveGlow]

probally $3,000 now in 2024

[@n9ne]

the people that actually live there hate it. it's a very strange place with underground secrets and natives aren't allowed at any of the tourist locations. they also have these auctions that only exist to evade taxes. Alex Monopoly last year was auctioning his art there and a single ticket was $125,000 that's just for the entry ticket to the event. if you're a business owner you go to this place to evade taxes.

[@ThunderRoad1]

My bank card went into hiding while I was watching this. I think I give this island a miss, even though Ben, you did well to pay just over 354usd a night (roughly £280) for that airbnb. It was lush. Great video as always.

[@Danielisak]

Cant believe you got a boat to St.Barts. landing on that airport is every Aviaton geeks dream

[@GIG_TRAVELS]

Can’t believe that too until I finally believed 😅❤😊 one love

[@johnmosquera6915]

hey ben. I Was born in colombia but i lived on saba. its really close to st.barths. ive been saba for 18 years and never have i visited st.barths. for me its to expensive lol. but you should really visit saba. its the worlds shortest runway and a very nature/peacefull island. also mt.scenery (saba volcano, yes its a volocano but its dormant) is the highest point in the netherlands kingdom.

[@GIG_TRAVELS]

Great place to live ❤ How does it feel to live in Saba? One love❤

I used to go there on holidays cuz I have family living in Gustavia. I miss it a lot. I took pictures with Kris Jenner, P. Diddy, Ne-Yo and Eddie Murphy

😂😂 bet you're not bragging now

[@AbroadInThailand]

Come visit Koh Samui in Thailand. It's way cheaper than St. Bart's, faraway from America, and thankfully not full of billionaires.

Tell me more about Koh Samui please. Will be visiting Thailand soon.

It’s a shame that there doesn’t seem to be any spotlight shone on the natives and their culture. It would be nice to see how the 'normal' people live out there

[@bigpapa2195]

There were no natives or culture in place on the island, there were natives who once lived there, another tribe slaughtered them then pretty much left the land until the white man found it in the 1600s, theres your fun facts of history for the day

[@Rippyy420]

theres no normal people tbh lmao

For Christmas Ben, please consider doing a Review of 2023 video where you tell us your highs and lows of the previous years with clips from all your videos this year, a nice 30 minute video would be idea. Cheers.

[@benmorris]

This could be a good idea for the second channel!

[@jahmallsuarez8648]

Now we need a video on Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Fascinating insight! Exploring St Barts with you was a ride. 😎 The exclusive lifestyle is surreal!

[@Tezhuh]

Fun Fact! - The tortoises that are in the video are called Red Foot Tortoises (Chelonoidis carbonaria) this species isn’t actually native but thrive in the Caribbean climate and the first mention of the species in St Bart’s was in 1815 :)

[@BdManus]

Ben, great video, but way too short. You sitting on the ground waiting for the plane to land on your head while all that traffic was behind you was hilarious. Can't wait for your next adventure.

[@rainessex]

If you've ever watched million dollar listing new york, on the show they go to st barts quite often and sell properties, its so insane how much money some people have that arent famous. Looks beautiful though and its nice to see they have cheaper places to visit & rent for a vacation :)

Merry Christmas, Ben! 🎄

[@navalrajnikanth3214]

For sure the locals would have been priced out of their island and the ones still somehow surviving there would have a very different experience compared to what the foreigners are experiencing.

[@daveotuwa5596]

St. Barts is a beautiful place. I would visit there if I were filthy rich. The island is eponymous to a disciple.

[@TheTruthSeeker-dr6jb]

With that price, I would prefer to tour around Papua or around Asian beaches in general. They have cheaper options and plus the rainforests beat anything thing, of course, you also get extra special case of mosquitos.

[@srspower]

$1063 for three nights for what is essentially your own apartment with a pool is pretty cheap, good value. I've stayed at places much more expensive than that and all you get is a hotel room.

[@francesckaringgg]

yeah that room is actually cheap. if he got a normal room no pool no view not modern not big and if he skipped restaurants and did normal grocery shopping it wouldn't be expensive at all. like any other place luxury is expensive and eating out is a luxury in 2024.

St Barts is nice but quite well known - Mustique is a lot more low key and also heaving with ultra rich.

[@elfuturo5112]

There has to be something sketchy and secret about this island that only the people at the top of the food chain are aware of; because there is absolutely nothing nice about this island. I;'ve seen better beaches in Islands like Roatan, Honduras. There is no activities, no nature... it really lower than mid. I would honestly rate this island like a 2/10. Something is happening there and we are not part of the club.
