11th March 2016 Comments are off for this post

Villa Ti Moun (MOU) is one of those rare properties that offers views so captivating that the beauty of the house almost goes overlooked. From a secluded Lurin hilltop high above the picturesque harbor of Gustavia, you will enjoy an unparalleled vista of the blue Caribbean Sea with Statia, Saba, and St. Maarten in the distance, and of course St. Barth’s spectacular sunsets. Combined with the comfort and convenience of this recently renovated home, Villa MOU’s unique location will likely make this your favorite spot on the island.

The villa itself reflects a keen understanding of design with a holiday lifestyle in mind. The main living area opens out onto a two-tiered hardwood terrace, an inviting and refreshing pool, sheltered outdoor dining, and chaises for relaxing in the sun. The kitchen is open and convenient, so mealtimes can be social even before you sit at the table, with plentiful counter space integrated with barstool-style seating for guests. A Bosch pro-quality range in the kitchen and a Weber gas grill on the terrace mean that no recipe is out of the question.

The living room offers comfortable seating for six on plush, white sofas, a full HDTV system with U.S. and French satellite, DVD, and Bose sound with an iPod dock. A decor of fine art photos, a vertical wall-garden, seashells and the occasional splash of bright color lends this living space a calm and inviting ambiance. In the evening, with the lights of the harbor below and the stars above, the atmosphere is simply magic.

Villa MOU’s two master bedrooms are situated on either side of the main living area, providing privacy while still enjoying the fabulous views and easy access to the terrace and pool. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bath, decorated with travertine tiles and fitted with quality fixtures and rain-head showers. A third bedroom one level down from the terrace offers greater seclusion, with its own small terrace with outdoor seating and views of the harbor and the surrounding garden of jasmine and flambouyant.

Truly a St. Barth gem, Villa MOU gives its guests a range of qualities and features that are not often found in one single property. It offers a spectacular view along with a great degree of privacy. It provides the efficiency and clean, modern lines of a new villa in the comfortable and convenient form of a more traditional St. Barth home. Any newcomer to Villa MOU soon understands why it is one of those special places that guests come back to again and again. Villa MOU will win your heart.

The name says it all. There’s a certain unpretentiousness, a welcome respite from posturing at this easygoing ocean-view vacation home. Villa What Else (WTS) reveals a dash of insouciance from the moment you walk in, welcoming you in a cocoon of laid-back comfort and style. The modern design, the grace of the architecture, and the stunning sea views over Pointe Milou, Lorient Bay and the surrounding islands add up to a luxury rental that’s so singular, what else could it be called?

Oh, and p.s., the sunsets are breathtaking.

Right above the Christopher Hotel in Pointe Milou, Villa What Else is truly one of a kind. It’s built over three levels, the better to maximize those sea views. The layout also enhances privacy, which makes this island house a good choice for extended families or groups of friends traveling together.

The villas main level comprises a cozy indoor living and dining area, with beautiful weathered-wood tables; an open-air covered living area on the terrace; an infinity pool; an open kitchen with a pass-through that makes sending meals out to the outdoor eight-seater table easy; and two of the villa’s four bedrooms. On the level below, two additional bedrooms offer comfortable sleep; while smaller than the upstairs rooms, they also have Euro king beds, large and modern bathrooms and ocean views. Each of the bedrooms occupies its own private pavilion, and warm woodworks—which were constructed in and imported from Bali—enhance the welcoming vibe throughout. Also there is a grassy nook set up with sunbeds—one more thing that makes the living at Villa What Else effortless.

The seduction begins the moment you arrive at Villa Lina (DER), as you pass through a verdant arbor and beside a small pond surrounded by beautiful exotic plants. Then it is enhanced, as you step into the cool sanctum of the gracious, flowing living area. Designed by noted architect Johannes Zingerle, this luxury rental villa was built to be a vacation home distinguished by its comfort, feeling of well-being and subtly contemporary details.

Villa Lina (DER) invites laid-back island living with its blissfully secluded location, clean-lined furnishings, artful details like coral-pattern cushions on the long, low-slung gray couches and an eye-catching photograph of a woman’s face, wearing lipstick in Murakami’s rendition of the beloved Louis Vuitton logo. This vacation home’s playfulness is welcome in this tranquil environment, which is defined by its cooling ocean breezes and spectacular Caribbean Sea views beyond Colombier and Flamands beaches, as well as the surrounding emerald-colored hills.

The views are commanding everywhere: the living area, the terrace, the bedrooms and especially the endlessly inviting infinity pool. And the visuals inside are just as natural and appealing, as the main materials are wood and stone, which merge the indoors and out. And, of course, light. Large bay windows in the front and the rear allow sunlight to stream in and Villa Lina’s privileged guests look out. They can be opened to let the breezes waft through.

Well-suited to families—who would be well advised to retain concierge to plan activities for all ages and see that some of the cooking is taken care of—Villa Lina’s layout includes two good-size bedrooms on either side of the spacious living area. Each has its own private bathroom with a walk-in shower and dressing area. A third, smaller bedroom is suitable for young children or a nanny, and has a bathroom right across the hall. The villa also includes an outdoor shower.
