Villa Emotion is well-named, as this enchanting four-bedroom villa will stir a longing to return again and again. Comfortably sleeping up to eight guests, Emotion nestles in a secluded, wooded location in the Tourterelles district overlooking St Jean Bay. If you’re looking for the perfect St Barts villa rental for a family vacation, Emotion is guaranteed to provide you with an unforgettable experience.

St Jean Bay and Beach epitomise the laid-back, hassle-free life on this tropical island paradise. St Jean Beach is a crescent-shaped sweep of powder-soft white sand and azure water so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. Close by, restaurants serve up the day's catch or grab some accras, a salt fish fritter served with a spicy Creole dipping sauce for a mid-morning snack. To explore the hidden coves and secret bays along the coastline - and perhaps even bag your own catch - your dedicated concierge can arrange for yacht or fishing boat hire.

From the moment you arrive at Emotion, you begin to relax. Fully air-conditioned throughout, the transition from indoors to outside through wide-open arches lets the soft breeze blow through, making this a cool and comfortable villa. Marble tiled floors, bespoke paintings and designer furniture add to the ambience - with that ever-changing view undoubtedly the villa's finest feature. The stainless-steel and polished surfaces of the kitchen will delight any chef, whether you’re mixing up some rum cocktails and snacks or a personal chef is creating that special anniversary dinner.

Four air-conditioned bedrooms offer sumptuous king-size beds, ensuites and outdoor showers. Decorated to the highest standards, they are tranquil, peaceful spaces where you can drift off into a peaceful night’s sleep. Two of the bedrooms are located in separate bungalows, with magnificent views of the gardens and the shimmering water of St Jean Bay in the distance. The bedrooms located in the main villa have access to the terrace and swimming pool area.

Filled with perfumed flowers native to the island and swaying palms set against a manicured lawn, the gardens are the ideal place to reconnect with the beauty of your surroundings. Terraces and decking sympathetically combine to create a pristine yet natural feel for that early-morning yoga or meditation session. A sparkling swimming pool invites you to dive in for a few laps. In the evening, sit back and watch the stars come out and plan your next day’s adventures.
