2_first_4627e21426

With its hillsides and sheltered bays, Saint‑Barthélemy offers a variety of neighbourhoods, each with its own character and appeal. Whether you’re seeking panoramic ocean vistas, beachside convenience or secluded retreats, the island’s luxury villa scene has something to suit every couple, family and group of friends. Le Barth Villas curates properties across these diverse destinations, making it easy to match your ideal getaway with the perfect setting.

St Jean – lively hub with beach access

Situated along the north coast, St Jean is often considered the heart of the island. It offers beach access to the island’s most famous stretch of sand and clear waters ideal for swimming and paddleboarding. Villas here blend modern design with Caribbean charm, featuring open‑concept layouts and terraces that capture the sea breeze. The area’s proximity to shops, restaurants and the airport makes it an excellent choice for those who want convenience and style. A Saint Barts villa in St Jean typically offers one to five bedroom layouts and may include a private garden or pool, making it suitable for both couples and small families.

Gustavia – harbour views and upscale comforts

The capital of the island, Gustavia, is known for its harbour lined with superyachts and its chic boutiques. Villas perched above the town provide breathtaking views over the harbour and out to the sea. These upscale homes are perfect for travellers who enjoy strolling to designer shops, art galleries and French bistros. While the bustle of town is nearby, many properties still offer ample privacy and quiet. Design features often include sleek interiors, seamless indoor outdoor living areas and infinity pools overlooking the bay. A villa in Gustavia allows you to watch the sunset from your terrace, then walk down for dinner at a gourmet restaurant.

Pointe Milou – sunset vistas and cliffside serenity

Perched on a headland, Pointe Milou offers some of the island’s most dramatic panoramic ocean views. Villas here are ideal for romantic escapes or groups seeking tranquillity, as they are located in a calm residential zone. Architecturally, homes in Pointe Milou emphasise indoor–outdoor living with wide decks and floor‑to‑ceiling windows; one villa even boasts a large wooden deck with an infinity pool that seems to blend into the sea. While the area is secluded, Saint Jean and its lively beach bars are only a short drive away, making Pointe Milou a perfect balance of retreat and convenience.

Colombier – remote beauty and hiking trails

If you crave solitude, look toward the Colombier hillside. Villas here are accessible only by boat or footpath, offering unspoiled views of the bay and abundant privacy. The area is a favourite among families and nature lovers who enjoy hiking the trail down to Colombier’s crescent beach. Properties in this area tend to have large gardens, shaded terraces and private pools. Staying here invites you to explore the island’s wilder side while returning each evening to refined comforts and luxury amenities.

Anse des Cayes – surfers’ paradise with relaxed ambience

On the island’s northern coast lies Anse des Cayes, a laid‑back neighbourhood beloved by surfers. Villas in this area feature tropical landscaping and are often steps away from the surf break. Many are designed with couples in mind, offering compact footprints and cosy terraces, though larger homes can accommodate groups as well. The nearby hillside provides panoramic views of the bay, making this an ideal spot for those who want a relaxed vibe with easy access to town.

Grand Cul‑de‑Sac and Marigot – water sports and family‑friendly fun

The shallow lagoon of Grand Cul‑de‑Sac is perfect for kiteboarding and kayaking. Villas around the bay often have direct lagoon access and amenities like kayaks and paddleboards. Le Barth’s properties here include beachfront houses with spacious decks and open‑air living rooms, perfect for an ideal family holiday. Close by, Marigot offers similar calm waters and is an excellent base for vacation rental seekers who want both tranquillity and proximity to Anse des Cayes and Pointe Milou.

Visitors can spend their days on the warm water, trying windsurfing and paddleboarding, and their nights enjoying the quiet of a private terrace.

Saline and Gouverneur – off‑the‑beaten‑path retreats

For a getaway away from the crowds, the areas around Saline Beach and Gouverneur Beach remain relatively untouched. Villas here are surrounded by untouched landscapes and provide unparalleled privacy. Many feature minimalist design with natural materials and large windows framing stunning vistas. With few commercial developments in sight, these properties offer guests a chance to reconnect with nature while still enjoying luxury interiors, private pools and the services of Le Barth’s concierge team.
