Sitting directly on Flamands Beach, this villa puts the Caribbean Sea at the foot of a two-level terrace where a heated pool and teak seating make it easy to lose track of the day entirely. The main living room opens on three sides to ocean breezes beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling, blurring the line between inside and out. Eight suites – split between the main building and a separate guesthouse – all feature mahogany beds and terraces that catch the morning air. A private tennis court, concierge welcome at the airport, and on-request services including a private chef round things out quietly but generously.
