St. Barts offers many opportunities to work up an appetite, from of course water sports to a all range of other activities:
Several hotels are equipped with fitness clubs and air-conditioned rooms complete with sophisticated equipment.
Some accept outsiders, others limit the use of these facilities to guests.
The popularity of Spas and massages is consistant with the notion that St Barts is a place where people come to relax. Hotel Spas do welcome outsiders.
A sporty atmosphere naturally hovers over the island thanks to the repeated efforts of the municipality and local associations, who organise competitions and friendly tournaments. Football and rugby gather many players in numerous teams playing on the new stadium in St-Jean.
