The pool gazes out towards the sea views and is flanked by a verandah leading inside the villa. There is also a full-sized outdoor lounge with banquette sofa, a cozy dining nice between the villa and cottage, a shady garden spot, and another lounge by the cottage.

Inside, the villa’s designers managed to blur the lines between exterior and interior with oversized glass doors, high white painted ceilings, and wood floors that emulate the pool deck just outside. A heavy use of island and tropically inspired décor means there is a lot of wood furniture and natural hues in the living room and TV lounge as well as the kitchen. It features a breakfast bar and open-air kitchen with entries to the terrace as well as the great room.

The three bedrooms are meant to be private, master suite-like retreats. Each features a king bed, a private terrace area, inside and outside showers, large and opulent private baths, and a long list of high end electronics and technologies.

Activities

The beaches and all they offer are not the only things to be appreciated on the island. You will find on Saint-Barthelemy a large choice of sporting and outdoor activities. Have confidence in our qualified professionals who can advice you on what is available and where.

Diving

Whether you use snorkeling equipment or you dive with bottles you will be enchanted by this rich and wonderful marine world You will discover in the not very deep waters, the magnificent coral reefs, the multitude of multi-coloured fishes and turtles (which have been illegal to fish since 1991).

Each beach has its coral reef; each small island has it rocks and grottos. The best diving is to be found around Pain du Sucre just out side the port of Gustavia, around the point at l’Ane Rouge in Colombier and around the Isle of Coco. Just outside the harbor in 1991 a ship sunk and you can have fabulous dive around this wreck at a depth of 75 meters.

Every person who dives in the protected marine reserves must pay 1 euro per dive. The funds raised go to help to maintain the moorings made available for boats wishing to visit the reserves.

Surfing and Windsurfing

St Jean and Grand Cul-de-Sac are best for Windsurfing whilst Anse des Cayes and Lorient are more frequented by surfers. Windsurfing boards and catamarans can be hired on the beach at St Jean. As a novice or at competition level, specialist schools and shops will advise you in either of these water sports.

Yachts and Sailing

To relax and get away into the calm, turquoise waters or race, hiring a boat will help you discover Saint-Barthelemy from another angle, that of the sea with its steep cliffs, large bays and sandy beaches.
