Manava

Welcome to Villa Manava, a 4-bedroom villa nestled in the hillside of Pointe Milou, above the Hotel Christopher. With beaches and shops a short drive away, this property enjoys sweeping views of the offshore islands and the St. Barts coastline. A superb mix of indoor and outdoor living spaces makes staying at Villa Manava incredible.

Modern and contemporary interiors are dazzling in white, with accents of red and grey in cushions, décor, and artwork. Minimalist and stylish, it’s an excellent choice for a luxurious stay on St. Barts. Within minutes, you can be scrunching your toes in the sand at either Lorient Beach or Marigot Beach, both just a short drive away.

For drinking, dining, and shopping, the elegant St. Jean is 10 minutes by car. As an added bonus, the pool club, spa and restaurant at the Christopher Hotel is within walking distance As you step through the entrance of Villa Manava, you’ll find yourself in the spacious great room. With an open concept design, it’s home to the living room, dining area, and kitchen.

The walls open completely to the outdoor terrace, allowing the interiors to spill out into the graceful outdoor living areas. The living room is contemporary and minimalist, with a large, soft sofa. Sinking in here at the end of your day and exploring St. Barts is ideal.

A large screen TV lets you unwind with your favorite movie, hooked up to U.S. satellite channels. Villa Manava’s modern kitchen is well-equipped with everything you’ll need to cook delicious meals during your stay. Our concierge can even organize grocery pre-stocking or delivery, catered meals, or arrange a private chef service for a special occasion.

Next to the kitchen is the elegant dining table with seating for 6. Captivating views of the Caribbean from the table are a great accompaniment to a gourmet meal and bottle of fine French wine. Two of the bedrooms at Villa Manava are on the upper level and two on the lower level.

All the bedrooms come with a queen-sized bed, air-conditioning, a spacious ensuite bathroom, and TVs with French satellite channels. Screens over the doors and windows let you fall asleep to the gentle sea breeze each evening. Outside, a beautiful deck spans the length of Manava Villa, offering stunning views over Lorient Bay.

Plush chairs and four-poster sunbeds are fabulous spots for admiring the sunset as it dips behind St Martin and Anguilla in the distance. The offshore islands of Île Toc Vers, Île Fregate, and Île Bonhomme are also in view. On one side is the villa’s infinity pool, which will no doubt tempt you in for a dip.

When it’s time to dry off, loungers lining the water let you bask in the island rays. When it comes to beaches, you’re spoilt for choice. Lorient Beach is an easy 5-minute drive, and home to a stunning coral reef and some of the best snorkeling on the island.

For something more laid back, 5 minutes towards the southeast is Marigot Bay Beach, secluded and quiet. During the December holidays the villa rents at the full occupancy rate regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
