Perched on the hillside in Pointe Milou, this villa faces almost entirely toward the Caribbean. The bay of Lorient unfolds in front of you from the living room and from the infinity pool, where the water appears to dissolve straight into the sea below. A mahogany vaulted ceiling arches over the living space, and all three canopy-bed suites face the ocean. Come evening, the wooden terrace becomes the best seat in Saint-Barthélemy for watching the sun drop into the water. Keen to explore? Gustavia is a twenty-minute drive away - head there for upscale shopping, fine dining, and the postcard-worthy Shell Beach.
