Aqua

Castaway to Villa Aqua, a modern 6-bedroom villa in Grand Cul de Sac, St. Barts. This waterfront villa enjoys a fantastic location next to the new Barthelemy Hotel within steps of the beach and a short walk from restaurants. Bright and airy interiors inside Villa Aqua are a peaceful retreat from the rushes of modern life.

The clean island design features an open-plan layout, filled with natural light and playful breezes blowing in from the Caribbean. Minimalist, contemporary, and with plenty of cool spots to relax, this is a fabulous choice for a beachfront getaway in St. Barts. Nestled on the shores of the beach at Grand Cul de Sac, Villa Aqua enjoys a fantastic location on St. Barts.

Within walking distance are plenty of 5-star hotel restaurants, bars, and shops. St. Jean is a 10-minute drive, and the capital Gustavia is only 5 minutes further. Open and breezy, Villa Aqua can open on several sides to enjoy the full effect of the ocean breeze.

Doors and windows frame incredible views of the cerulean-blue sea, with a range of comfortable furnishings for everyone to kick back and unwind. The central great room is the heart of the home, an idyllic and luxurious setting for gathering with family and friends. The oversized living room enjoys several soft sofas, with some facing the view and others facing the entertainment center.

A dining area separates the living room from a well-equipped gourmet kitchen, which is suitable for hosting large parties. A second, connected preparation kitchen is equipped with a large refrigerator and wine cooler. With both, you’ll have no trouble preparing fantastic meals during your stay.

The large indoor dining table is a relaxed and casual spot to enjoy a meal, a highlight of any stay. There’s also a lovely alfresco dining table, coaxing you to dine outside with the fading afternoon sending rosy gold colors arcing across the sky. The bedrooms inside Villa Aqua are tranquil retreats for your stay in this island paradise.

Creamy, contemporary colors match with the natural wooden furnishings, while vaulted ceilings enjoy chic recessed lighting. There are two separate staircases on either end of the villa, both leading to one of the two master suites. Both enjoy king-sized beds, a dressing area, a private balcony with sea views, and an ensuite bathroom with a rain shower and a bathtub.

There are four guest suites on the main floor, all with king-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms. Two enjoy ocean views, while the other two are on the garden side of the house. For more space, Villa Aqua can be rented with its sister villa, Villa Bleu for a total of 12 bedrooms.

Stepping outside lets you immerse yourself in the wonderful views over the Caribbean. In either direction, the gentle curve of the bay is alluring, with the striking water bordered by white sands. A large deck surrounds the swimming pool, tempting you in to cool off each day.

There are several loungers lining the pool’s edge, and others nestled in the shade. Reading, enjoying a drink, or indulging in an afternoon nap are all on the menu. Mere steps away, the inviting Caribbean is the stuff of dreams.

The tranquil water is crystal-clear, with the white sandy shore ideal for lounging. During the Thanksgiving and December holidays, the villa rents at full occupancy rates regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
