01 — The property

Three white pavilions on a hillside, open to the sea.

Completed in 2024, Villa Ciel is composed of three pavilions set around a lawn and a pool: an open living pavilion, a master pavilion and a two-bedroom pavilion, each with its own outdoor shower and a view of the water.

Aerial view of Villa Ciel’s open living pavilion, pool and lawn framed by a stacked-stone retaining wall

Sweeping aerial panorama of Saint-Jean Bay, turquoise surf breaking at the foot of green hills — Saint-Jean Bay from the hillside, at the end of the afternoon.

The house was drawn around the view rather than around the plot.

Square dark concrete vessel sink and matte black tap on an oak vanity, rolled towel and amenities set out — Honed stone, pale oak, a black tap — the small things were chosen too.

Matte black rain shower and handheld spray mounted on a travertine-tiled wall, bamboo towel ladder alongside — An outdoor shower under the palms, on the way back from the pool.

02 — The villa

Architecture and interiors

White timber ceilings, pale oak, honed stone and linen. Every bedroom has a king-size bed, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and twin basins, an outdoor shower, air conditioning, a safe and a desk.

Master bedroom under a soaring white timber-vaulted ceiling, oak bed flanked by twin wardrobes opening onto the ensuite

Second bedroom under a peaked white ceiling, oak desk and a glimpse of the ensuite through the open doorway

Master ensuite with a walk-in stone-tiled shower and double black vessel sinks set into an oak vanity

Open-air living pavilion with vaulted white ceiling, two linen sofas, round oak coffee tables and the open kitchen behind — The living pavilion, open on three sides.

Pool and lawn beside the white pavilion, bamboo hedge screening the view and the green hillside behind — Bamboo along the edge of the lawn, the hillside behind.

03 — Outdoor living

Pool, terraces and the view

The living pavilion opens fully onto a covered deck, the pool and a lawn that ends at the horizon. Sun loungers, an outdoor lounge and a dining table under the roof.

Solid oak dining table under the covered terrace, open kitchen and tropical planting against a stacked-stone wall

Morning · Day · Evening

A day here

Nothing on this island is far. Most days still begin and end at the house.

Dark-stone plunge pool bordered by lawn, three loungers facing the open sea

Morning

First light on the pool, the shutters folded back, and the whole terrace to yourself for an hour.

Day

Flamands for the morning swim, Saint-Jean for lunch, and the pool for the long hours in between.

High-altitude aerial view of the full curve of Saint-Jean Bay with a small offshore islet and the village below

Evening

The louvres half closed, the light going long, then dinner here or the short drive down to Gustavia.

View through white louvre shutters onto the wooden pool deck, lawn loungers and the sea

Late afternoon through the louvres, the deck already in shade.

04 — Location

Perfectly placed in St. Barth

Private, and minutes from everything

Located on the heights of Anse des Cayes, with views toward Saint-Jean Bay and the surrounding hills.

Anse des Cayes is a quiet hillside quartier on the north-west coast: little passing traffic, villas on the slope, and the rest of the island within about a quarter of an hour.

Housekeeping: The house is set right every morning except Sundays and public holidays; linen is changed every four days.
Concierge: Chef, provisioning, transfers, a boat or a table in Gustavia — asked the night before, arranged by morning.
Local assistance: A doctor, a pharmacy, a mechanic, a passport left behind: someone on the island deals with it alongside you.

Saint-Barthélemy

The island, from here

Twenty-two beaches, one harbour town, and an airport about ten minutes from almost everything. Where we swim, where we eat, how a day here is spent — the island as we know it.
