Sumptuous decor, eye-widening sea views and a tantalising heated pool are just some of the allures that make Villa Cacao such an idyllic spot for a relaxing getaway in St Barts. Set on a hillside in Toiny, one of the island’s most exclusive areas, the villa is perfectly placed for gazing out over the ocean below and is only a short drive from the beaches at Petit Cul de Sac and Anse Toiny.

Impeccably designed with contemporary Caribbean features, from vaulted ceilings to floor-to-ceiling windows, the villa has a distinct airy feel and blends seamlessly with the outdoors. Walk through the living area’s floor-to-ceiling windows and you’ll find a heated infinity pool, which looks out over the sea below. There are plenty more places to enjoy the views, with sun loungers and outdoor dining space aplenty. There’s even a fitness room full of popular gym equipment to keep active guests entertained during their stay.

Wind down after a day in the sun by cosying up on the soft sofas in the open-plan kitchen and living area, and watching a film on the large flatscreen TV. The main kitchen is kitted out with modern amenities, a breakfast bar and sleek surfaces for rustling up a meal made with fresh island produce.

There are four bedrooms at Villa Cacao, three of which connect to the main living area, which are sumptuously decorated with colourful cushions and furnishings. All have ensuite bathrooms, complete with rain-head showers, king-sized beds and flatscreen TVs. The fourth room is located in a studio downstairs and boasts its own private kitchenette, small living space and sun terrace - perfect for peaceful mornings enjoying the sunrise with a steaming cup of coffee. The rooms and layout make it a great fit for multi-generational families, families and a separate couple, or even groups of friends seeking a sun-soaked getaway.
