Sitting directly on Anse des Cayes, this villa puts the Caribbean Sea at arm's length from nearly every living space. The terrace, the pool, and the main bedroom all face the water, so the ocean is a near-constant presence rather than a distant backdrop. Trade winds drift through the living and dining area, kept naturally cool beneath a mansard ceiling, while a gas barbecue and alfresco dining table make evenings outside an easy choice. When you want more, Gustavia's yacht-lined harbour and its boutiques are within reach for a change of scenery.
