Set above Gouverneur on the south side of Saint-Barthélemy, this villa is built around a west-facing infinity pool that stretches the full width of the terrace – each evening, the Caribbean horizon turns to fire right in front of you. The living and dining spaces open directly onto that terrace, so the line between inside and outside dissolves at every meal. Five air-conditioned bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, one with an unusual underwater pool view and a dedicated office area. A concierge, daily housekeeping, and an on-request private chef mean the hard work is handled from the moment you land.
