Ela

Castaway to Villa Ela, a glamorous private compound with a total of 8 bedrooms, located directly on Flamands Beach, St. Barts. Inside, creamy white interiors dazzle and impress. Understated and chic, the minimalist style encourages you to relax, unwind, and disconnect from the hectic pace of modern life.

There’s also plenty of space to spread out and entertain as well - the best of both worlds. Picture yourself strolling outside onto the golden sand of Flamands Beach, walking to the restaurants at Cheval Blanc or Baie des Anges, exploring the world-class dining scene in nearby Gustavia, or enjoying the glamorous bars of St. Jean. Sophisticated stays in St. Barts don’t come much better than this.

Sea breezes gently flow through large doors into the open-plan great room, with a living area, dining room, and kitchen. The entire space features a pleasing mix of whitewashed floors and furnishings that contrast with solid teak accents. The living room at Villa Ela features inviting sofas and chairs facing the pool terrace.

It’s a great spot to escape the heat of the day, sinking into the soft sofas with a cool drink. Behind the living room is Villa Ela’s modern kitchen. Well-equipped, you’ll have everything you need to create gourmet meals during your stay.

Our concierge can organize grocery pre-stocking or delivery, catered meals, or even arrange a private chef service for a special occasion. Meals are hosted at the outdoor dining table on the covered terrace, with seating for 10+ guests. Pairing a delicious meal with the warm island air is exactly what life in the Caribbean is all about.

Four of the villa’s beautifully appointed bedrooms are housed in a separate two-story bungalow located just across the terrace from the main house. On the upper level, the primary suite features a striking four-poster mahogany king bed, elegant lacquered white wood floors, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom finished in travertine tile with a sunken soaking tub and rain shower. Adjacent to the primary suite, the second bedroom also offers a four-poster king bed and a private ensuite bathroom.

The lower level, at poolside, is home to the third and fourth bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed in the same refined style. One bedroom is furnished with a king bed, while the other features two four-poster twin beds, making it ideal for children or friends traveling together. All four bedrooms enjoy breathtaking ocean views, creating a serene and picturesque retreat.

For larger groups, Villa Ela also features a two-story guesthouse near the villa's entrance, adding four additional bedrooms along with its own comfortable living area and kitchenette. Designed to complement the elegant style of the main residence, the guesthouse showcases the same sophisticated blend of crisp white furnishings, rich dark wood accents, and airy interiors. Although the guesthouse bedrooms do not offer ocean views, they provide an exceptional level of privacy, making them ideal for extended family, teenagers, or guests seeking their own secluded retreat.

Just a short walk away, guests can easily enjoy the main villa's expansive terraces, spectacular sea views, and shared living spaces, allowing everyone to gather together while still enjoying the comfort of separate accommodations. Outside at Villa Ela, a lounge area on the covered poolside terrace is a great place to relax with a cool island cocktail. Sunset views from here are incredible, lighting up the bay and offshore islands of Île Frégate and Île Bonhomme.

Steps lead down to the pool terrace, stretching out to meet the soft sand of the beach. Several teak couches, chaise lounges, and a covered swing provide plenty of space to relax and enjoy the weather. There are also remote-controlled awnings for extra shade, an outdoor shower, and a full wet bar.

Diving into the pool is an easy way to cool off; otherwise, the golden sand and turquoise water at Flamands Beach are seconds away. Other beaches are also within easy distance. St. Jean Beach is a 7-minute drive to the east, while the secluded Colombier Beach, only accessible on foot, is a 30-minute trek.
