Nestling in the gorgeous enclave of Vitet, Villa Aurore is a magical five-bedroom hideaway that welcomes up to ten guests. The villa is designed with a module layout, spreading it across four bungalows and allowing guests to find their personal space. The panoramic views of the ocean and the privacy of an exclusive gated community make this the ideal escape for those who want to relax and connect with the beauty of St Barts.

St Barts may be small, but it manages to pack in plenty of personality into just 25km². From dense jungles to glorious sandy beaches, sleepy towns and busy ports, it's an eclectic island with a warm and friendly welcome that will have you coming back again and again. Indulge in gourmet food or wander along a deserted beach at sunset. Explore the island's tropical interior, or dive off the coast in crystal-clear waters.

The hills of Vitet give you the most wonderful panoramic views of the ocean and the rolling hills surrounding this tranquil spot. Villa Aurore captures the spirit of St Barts by using a classic island layout that divides the spaces into separate bungalows with upscale amenities and a flawless indoor-outdoor flow. The living area opens onto ocean-view terraces and has high vaulted ceilings to give a sense of space. The dining room occupies the same bungalow and is also close to the fully-fitted kitchen and bar.

Four of the five elegant bedrooms are located together in a single bungalow. All have cosy king-size beds and ensuites, tastefully decorated in soft tones and natural materials to give them an organic, opulent feel. The fifth king-size ensuite bedroom is in a separate bungalow and is just right for a couple who would prefer a little extra privacy.

A fitness room ensures everyone stays on track with their workouts, or you can slow things down with a dawn yoga session in the manicured gardens. A sparkling pool is inviting and surrounded by loungers and sun chairs for a few early-morning laps and relaxation. Al fresco dining is the best way to dine under the stars and watch the moonlight on the water at the end of another relaxing day at Villa Aurore.
