Clinging to the hillside in the lofty heights of Lurin in the south of St Barts, Krystel is a modern villa with panoramic views over the beautiful St Jean Bay. Spend your days relaxing on the sun terrace, gazing out over the sparkling infinity pool and watching the yachts bobbing on the tranquil turquoise water. The villa is located within easy reach of an abundance of golden beaches, including St Jean, Gouverneur and Saline, as well as high-end fashion boutiques and elegant restaurants.

The contemporary villa is nestled in pretty, landscaped gardens which provide privacy and peace. Krystel is bright and airy, with traditional Caribbean high vaulted ceilings and warm natural wood finishes. Colourful furnishings, house plants and bold artwork add pops of colour to the muted tones of the home. Stylish spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxing are spread across three floors. The middle level is the perfect place for socialising, with large doors opening onto a sun terrace which wraps around the gorgeous pool; the perfect spot for a refreshing early-morning swim. If you want to get your heart racing, then there’s also a fitness room for daily work-outs. A contemporary kitchen offers a calm space to experiment with local ingredients before a lazy lunch at the indoor/outdoor dining table, large enough to fit the whole family. A water feature bubbles nearby, creating a serene setting and the perfect ambience for a relaxing dinner with friends.

While there’s plenty of space for everyone to socialise together at Krystel, there are also lots of cosy nooks to enjoy peace and quiet in your own private corner. The glass doors slide back to open the central living room to the outside space, with one seating area making the most of the views and a second collection of sofas arranged around the TV. The villa offers four ensuite bedrooms, two of which are decadent master suites housed in their own private bungalows on each side of the main building, both with gorgeous sea views. The other two bedrooms look out onto the tropical gardens, one boasting a king-sized bed and the second with a king-sized bed that can split into twin beds, making it an ideal room for any children in the group.
