Perched on a hillside above Marigot Bay, this villa frames one of Saint-Barthélemy's most coveted panoramas. Here, the Caribbean sweeps out from the heated infinity pool – it's the kind of view you keep returning to at different hours. Beneath a vaulted timber ceiling, the living room opens directly onto that same outlook, with an alfresco dining terrace catching the trade winds. Each of the four en-suite bedrooms has its own private terrace and sitting area, while a media room and fitness room mean there's no shortage of ways to spend the slower hours.
