Perched on a hillside above Anse des Cayes, this villa frames panoramic Caribbean Sea views from its light-filled living room – high mansard ceilings add a generous sense of volume that makes the space feel calm. Outside, a heated pool sits within a lush tropical garden of palms and cacti, with sun loungers and an alfresco dining area close by. The bedrooms are cool and restful, each opening onto the pool or the patio. Daily housekeeping and a concierge offering private chefs, butlers, and in-villa massage mean the only real decision is how little you want to do.
