Let’s ride.
Can we go back to St. Barth now? A few of our favorite moments from the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Swim Special…
The Angels take on a different kind of runway—see them, plus performances from Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas, TONIGHT on the Victoria’s Secret Swim Special, 9/8c on CBS.
Candice making waves, as usual. See her & the rest of the Angels on the Victoria’s Secret Swim Special, March 9 at 9/8c on CBS.
From villa hopping to champagne popping, St. Barth is easily one of the sexiest islands on the planet. It’s easy to see why we’ve been bringing the Angels here for over 20 years to shoot some of our steamiest swim moments.

Superstar Beaches
Of course, our Angels hit the three hottest spots: Shell Beach for the killer sunsets, Colombier Beach for the gorgeous white sand & St. Jean Beach for the swanky social scene.

Hop In!
The Angels cruised around in beach buggies called Mini Mokes, which used to be the only kind of car on the island. It’s still the coolest way to sightsee.

It Takes A Villa…
Or a super swank hotel like Le Sereno. Our Angels fell in love with the minimalist-chic rooms, the beachfront pool & the breathtaking views of the Caribbean.

Shopper’s Paradise
St. Barth is part of France, so the boutiques are just as chic. The girls spent an afternoon in Gustavia, luxury capital of the island, where they picked up designer finds from Clic Bookstore & Gallery. Next stop: the beachy shops in laid-back St. Jean.
Watch the Angels take over St. Barth on the Victoria’s Secret Swim Special on March 9, 9/8c on CBS.
Spice it up.
We spent a week in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, a remote surfing
destination known more for its laid-back
vibes than its cell reception.

Pura Vida
Directly translated as “pure life”, this popular Costa Rican saying is all about living in the moment.

Natural Beauty
Over 25 percent of Costa
Rica’s land is dedicated to national parks.

Lost In The Trees
This tree house is part of Rancho Delicioso, an eco-village where residents pitch in to grow fresh produce.

Surf’s Up!
Surfing is more than just a sport here—it’s a way of life. Santa Teresa is known as a surfer’s mecca due to its unbeatable breaks & swells.
Globetrotting besties Candice Swanepoel & Behati Prinsloo reflect on their favorite trips & shared African heritage during our Costa Rica photo shoot.
CANDICE: What’s your most memorable travel moment?
BEHATI: When I was 12 or 13, I went to Egypt with my family. Egypt blew my mind. Seeing the Sphinx and the pyramids and traveling the Nile, it was so spiritual it was insane.
CANDICE: That’s amazing! When I look at the globe, I love to know that I’ve been on “that” spot. You know what I mean? It’s a weird, childish thing of mine, when you look at a spot and think, “Check, check, check.”
BEHATI: I know! Like you’re putting a pin in it. So what’s the most memorable place you’ve traveled?
CANDICE: Rhodesia [modern Zimbabwe]. My family and I used to stay on houseboats on Lake Kariba & watch lions. We’re in such a different world now!
BEHATI: It feels like a different life! When I think about growing up in Africa and what I’m doing now, it feels like I’m making it up.
CANDICE: That’s a big reason why you and I became such good friends, because only someone who’s lived that can understand.
BEHATI: We have a connection. Like a soul connection. What about Costa Rica? Have you been here before?
CANDICE: Yes. Costa Rica’s really special to me. The whole energy here, the weather, even when it’s pouring rain…
BEHATI: It’s very raw. That raw, kind of savage beauty. It’s nice to lose yourself in a place and I think that Costa Rica has that energy. I was so excited when I heard about this shoot.
CANDICE: I had a lot of #friendshipgoals pictures in my mind.
BEHATI: Like two girls, running through the water?
CANDICE: Running and showing the happiness of being in a beautiful place. And you’re probably the only person in the world who could have been there.
BEHATI: Aww…you’re so sweet.
