Perched on a hillside in Gustavia, this stylish villa offers privacy, and sweeping views of the sea and neighbouring islands. Glorious sunsets are a bonus. The iconic harbour, shops, restaurants and popular Shell Beach are all nearby. Spacious, with four en-suite bedrooms, AR08 is a perfect vacation home to share with family or friends. An abundance of outdoor living space, a stunning heated pool with a swim-up bar, a Sonos sound system, and a pool table up the fun factor. If guests must work while on vacation, this is one of the few villas on St Barts with fiber optic internet.

A professional kitchen will delight the cooks in the group, or it’s ready and waiting for a private chef. Sliding glass walls can contain all the sights and sounds of dinner preparation. Guests can dine al fresco on the terrace, and a lovely dining area is incorporated into an open floor plan with a living room that includes a wet bar. Furnished for relaxing and TV viewing, it’s an ideal spot for all to gather; a guest bathroom is nearby.

Air-conditioned throughout and contemporary in architecture, the modern décor is complemented with a cool white palette and unique artwork. The bedrooms are true retreats with smart TVs (there’s DISH Network and Apple TV) and refrigerators; three are upper-level with terraces and sea views. The fourth bedroom is on the main level and opens to the pool terrace. A small bedroom with a bath is located off of the third bedroom, and is also accessible from the outside; it has a trundle bed and only suitable for older children of a staff member.
