Voltage Requirements in St Barts

When traveling to SBH from the United States, you will need to account for both a different electrical socket and a different voltage level. Electricity on SBH operates at 220 volts. As such, to run U.S. appliances you will need a plug converter and if you intend to connect your laptop to a phone line, you will also need to acquire a modular telephone adapter (about $8).

WiFi is found in many villas and free WiFi is found in many establishments, mostly free of charge
