Dunes
This unique villa is one of our must-visit of our St. Barts vacation rentals—it was the set of season five of the TV series, Modern Housewives of New York. Dunes is set on 2.5 acres of unspoiled tropical landscape and offers exceptional privacy. Discovered in 1493 and settled by French colonists in 1643, the island of St. Barts is a tropical paradise with unspoiled beaches that attract the rich and famous from around the world.
Flanked by the hillside and opening up to the valley and sea, you and your guests can relax in absolute privacy. The manicured gardens spread throughout the property are home to bougainvilleas, coconut trees and other tropical vegetation. The wooden terrace is perched above the gardens and offers incredible island and sea views as well as sights over the stone architecture on the grounds. There are two pools to choose from, one on the terrace as well as one below on the garden level, and you can take your pick from the many white loungers placed throughout the property to relax and enjoy the sun.
Spread over a massive 16,000 square feet and two levels, this cubist-influenced home is done in neutral colors with grey-toned walls, lacquered white oak parquet floors and contrasting brown furniture. The large living room opens up to the terrace and features bay views from the many sleek, white sofas. Also on this level, you’ll find the dining room, open to the exterior gardens, with a large table with seating for up to 20 guests.
The property’s six bedrooms scattered between the main home and guest houses can accommodate up to 12 guests. The main level features one master bedroom with three more rooms on the upper level with garden or ocean views. The remaining two bedrooms are located in separate bungalows down from the home, one of which also features a living room and fully equipped kitchen.
You’ll be within walking distance to the beach and just 10 minutes away from the bustling town of Gustavia where you can enjoy diverse restaurants, upscale boutiques and some of the Caribbean’s best spas.
