BOM

15th December 2015 Comments are off for this post

Upon entering Villa BOM (BOM), you’re immediately seduced by the breathtaking sea view, and the warm, comfortable-yet-slightly-exotic feeling of the interior design. Although this luxury villa is the work of architect François Pécard, who has spent the past 30 years designing many of the most prestigious homes on St. Barth, there’s something about it that may briefly transport you to Bali. The property has graceful rooflines and open pavilions that bring to mind breezy South Seas bales, exotic wenge wood floors and a stunning black lava-tiled pool that rises up from an expansive wood deck and overflows on all four sides. But as you settle in under the whitewashed wood ceilings, it becomes undeniable that you’re in the Caribbean—in fact, in one of the finest vacation homes in the West Indies.

At least as appealing as that heated swimming pool are the calm waves of St. Jean Beach. Right outside a digicode-locked gate, a short set of stairs leads directly onto the sandy shore, and the layout of this rental property is ideal for groups who don’t want to all have take the same sort of swim. Parents can lounge on the shaded pavilion and keep an eye on children in the pool or playing in the sand.

That’s not the only reason Villa BOM is family-friendly. Most of its living and sleeping spaces unfold across a single level. Four bedrooms are in the main house, along with the living and dining rooms, shaded outdoor dining area and gourmet kitchen. All of the bedrooms are generous in size and have sea views and luxurious full bathrooms stocked with Ligne St. Barth bath products. Two have four-posted king beds and private terraces, and two are outfitted with twin beds, which can be set up as a king, but there’s not a bad room among them. A fifth bedroom is housed in an independent pavilion with its own bathroom and fully equipped kitchen, making it an attractive option for a nanny or other guests who would like more privacy.

Caribbean Collections concierge can also arrange for baby-sitting or child-friendly activities around the island. That doesn’t mean Villa BOM is only for young families. Families with adult children or groups of friends can also enjoy the space, perhaps enhanced with visiting massage therapists or yoga teachers, also arranged by the concierge.

Whatever your group looks like, you’ll appreciate the villa’s convenience—not only to St. Jean Beach but also to some of the island’s top restaurants. A supermarket, pharmacy and the airport are all within easy walking distance. The Tom Beach Hotel and its lively restaurant, La Plage, are right next door, and villa guests can even offer room service.

La Danse des Etoiles

La Danse des Etoiles (Villa DOL) is an extraordinary achievement of design and craftsmanship. The exquisite melding of wood and stone throughout this home creates a cool and relaxing atmosphere. Combined with the carefully selected furnishings, Villa DOL is one of the finest properties in St. Barth. Nearly two years of painstaking work by stone cutters and carpenters brought to fruition this extraordinary vision from the New York architectural firm of Barnes and Coy.

The entrance to the house leads directly into the main living, dining and kitchen area, whose high ceilings and panoramic view give it an airy, loft-like feel. To the west, an entire wall of glass slides out of sight, opening the space to the large terrace, infinity pool, and broad vista over the bays of Lorient and St. Jean, the Atlantic and St. Maarten visible in the distance. A teak deck beneath a large canvas awning offers plentiful seating for relaxing in the shade or dining outdoors. Chaises for sunning are cooled by an automatic misting system. A professional Fisher and Paykel grill makes barbecuing a breeze. Not far from the terrace is a dramatically designed, nautilus shaped bathroom with a rain head shower. A lower terrace beyond the pool provides a secluded space for sunning or just relaxing to the soothing sound of the black stone fountain. The view from here is simply stunning, with only an expanse of brilliant bougainvillea blossoms between you and the vision of the blue Caribbean water.

Villa DOL’s first three bedrooms, located on the property’s pool level are all roughly equal in size and are exceptionally well-furnished in dark hardwoods and chocolate-hued leather. The first bedroom offers views to the east and south, and has a glass-tiled ensuite bath, generous closet space, and a private deck with chaises and an outdoor shower. The second and third bedrooms also have their own secluded, private outdoor spaces, as well as ensuite baths. The villa’s fourth and fifth bedrooms are located on a lower level, and boast their own private living and entertainment area, gym, massage room and private ensuite baths.

The open kitchen will let aspiring chefs flex their culinary muscle without being antisocial. Multiple SubZero refrigerators, a Viking range top and Delonghi oven are just a few of the top-quality amenities arranged both discretely and conveniently to make kitchen both pleasure to use and pleasure to look at. The dining area offers elegant seating for eight at a lacquered, dark wood table. Plush, inviting sofas in the living area seat ten. A home office in a loft space above the living and dining area provides a large and comfortable work space for taking calls or handling email and faxes.<p>*Prices vary depending on the time of year.
