About Saint Barthelemy
Saint Barthelemy is a French overseas collectivity located in the Caribbean in the Leeward Islands, east of the US Virgin Islands, covering an area of approximately 25 square kilometers. As of 2025, Saint Barthelemy has a population of about 7,079, with French as the official language. The island has few natural resources, with its beaches fostering tourism. Gustavia serves as the capital, and the government operates as a parliamentary democracy under a Territorial Council.
Saint Barthelemy has a high-income French Caribbean territorial economy with no established GDP, driven by duty-free luxury commerce and tourism. The territory is import-dependent for food, water, energy, and manufacturing, with a large Brazilian and Portuguese labor supply. Saint Barthelemy is environmentally fragile and is known as a luxury destination for yachting and high-end tourism. The island has a life expectancy of 81 years.
