Perched on the hillside above Grand-Cul-de-Sac, this villa is arranged across three separate buildings, each one stepping down through palms and tropical gardens toward a long pool terrace where the Caribbean sea and lagoon shimmer beyond the deck. The open-sided living room catches the trade winds on three sides, making it feel less like a room and more like a pavilion. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower – two in a lower bungalow with ocean views, one above the main level looking over the garden. Daily housekeeping and on-request staff, from a private chef to a yoga teacher, cover everything else.
