Nikki beach reservation

[Nscyber09]

We have family visiting in November and it’s their first trip to st Barths. All they want to do is visit Nikki beach on Sunday. Apparently you need to know the owner to book a reservation here. Anyone have any luck or insight into how to book a Sunday at Nikki beach 2 months in advance? (I tried 3 months in advance). Maybe next time I should try a year?

If it wasn’t for my family members I would gladly take my business elsewhere but they want to go here and I am trying to accommodate. Thanks in advance.

The concierge of your hotel or rental agency should be able to help.

Tried that already along with our credit card concierge. Best they can do is get you on a waitlist. Seems like all the tables are being held by the restaurant for their best / well-connected customers.

Nikki Beach is notoriously hard to get a reservation for Sundays, especially November through the Festive season. Last time I couldn't get in (I had the same issue with a friend wanting to go who had never been to SBH), we went to lunch next door at Gypsea and then after lunch we floated in the water right in front of Nikki and also hung out by the bar where you do not need a reservation. It was still a lot of fun! Otherwise, you may be out of luck.

Did you try for a Saturday reservation? The Saturday seatings are the same fun and craziness as Sundays.

They are dead set on Sunday and made other plans for Saturday unfortunately.

Then they have to plan their next visit to SBH. My advice, And this trip go in person to make their reservation.

Very helpful. Thank you. Was hoping someone here had booked before and had a contact person they recommended but this is great! Thank you Amyb!

Why not go to one of the chic French thump-thump-thump places on St-Jean rather than the American place? Nao ? La Guérite ? GypSea ?

They’re going to all of those places as well. Hence why, Sunday only unfortunately.

I do agree that Sunday at Nikki is my only “must do” besides L’Esprit. Maybe Premium IV could help?

Unfortunately, we weren't able to secure our Sunday 2nd seating reservation at Nikki Beach for early December. However, the concierge noted that Saturdays in December are quite festive as well. Has anyone experienced a Saturday there, or would it be better to book the first seating on a Sunday?

Both are fun . . . you can’t go wrong either time, & if you spend enough at the first seating on Sunday, you’ll very likely be allowed to stay beyond the table-change time.

We tried to made a reservation 4 months out and could only get the early sitting for a Sunday in October. Thinking about canceling it as they force you to leave for the last sitting and don’t want to feel rushed.

I would keep it-we have done the early seating the last 2 years and had a blast! yes we had to leave as the 2nd wave comes in but we were more than ready to go after 3 hours of great food/dancing and music

What time does the first service and 2nd service start?

Our villa is just up the hill from all the thump thump St. Jean activities. We just grab our chairs and a bottle of rose and head down and watch festivities from afar..no reservations needed.

Location, location, location. Well played.

If I remember correctly, the first service is 12:30 and the 2nd is 3:30. If you go to the earlier seating, they make it quite clear that you have to leave by the 2nd seating. Been there, done that!
