Villa Provisioning & Pre-Arrival Stocking in Saint Barthélemy
Arriving at your villa in St. Barth to find the fridge stocked with your favorite foods, champagne chilling, fresh flowers on every table, and a personalized welcome basket waiting — that's the experience I create for every client. Villa provisioning is one of the most practical and appreciated services I offer, and it sets the tone for your entire stay on the island.
My name is Rémi, and with over 10 years on the island and many years as a villa concierge in Saint Barthélemy, I know exactly where to source the finest groceries, the best local wines and spirits, and the freshest tropical flowers in St. Barts. I shop personally at the island's premium markets and work directly with local suppliers to ensure everything meets the highest standards.
What I Can Arrange
- Pre-arrival grocery stocking — your villa kitchen fully provisioned before you land, with everything from breakfast essentials to gourmet ingredients, based on your personal preferences
- Wine & spirits — curated selections of champagne, rosé, fine wines, premium spirits, and mixers, sourced from the best wine merchants in Gustavia
- Fresh flowers — tropical floral arrangements delivered and placed throughout your villa in Flamands, Gouverneur, Lurin, or any neighborhood on the island
- Welcome baskets — custom gift baskets with local delicacies, French pastries, exotic fruits, and luxury treats to greet you upon arrival
- Specific dietary needs — gluten-free, vegan, kosher, halal, organic, low-sugar, and any other dietary requirement accommodated with care
- Baby & children's supplies — formula, baby food, snacks, diapers, and child-friendly provisions stocked at your villa before your family arrives
- Daily provisioning — ongoing grocery shopping and restocking throughout your stay, so your villa is always fully supplied with fresh food, drinks, and essentials
- Special occasion setups — birthday cakes, anniversary champagne, celebration decorations, and custom touches for any milestone during your St. Barth vacation
Why Book Through Rémi
Grocery shopping on a small Caribbean island is different from shopping at home. Availability varies by season, certain products arrive on specific days, and the best items sell out quickly — especially during the Christmas and New Year's peak season. Having worked in luxury hospitality with the most demanding international clientele, I know exactly what to source, where to find it, and when to buy it.
I don't just fill a generic shopping list — I curate your provisioning based on your preferences, dietary needs, and the number of guests in your party. Whether your villa is perched on the hillside of Colombier, overlooking the lagoon at Grand Cul-de-Sac, or steps from the sand at St. Jean, I personally deliver and organize everything in your kitchen. Available 24/7, I ensure you never need to worry about supplies during your stay in Saint Barth.
Where I Source the Best Products in St. Barth
Saint Barthélemy has several excellent gourmet markets and specialty shops. The markets in St. Jean and Lorient offer fresh produce, imported French cheeses, charcuterie, and bakery items. The wine shops in Gustavia carry exceptional selections from France and around the world. For tropical fruits, fresh fish, and local specialties, I source directly from trusted suppliers across the island. And for items that aren't available in St. Barts, I can arrange special imports from St. Martin to ensure your villa has everything you need — from your favorite breakfast cereal to a specific vintage of champagne.
