The opulent grandeur of the past combines with contemporary style and sensibilities in this gorgeous, sprawling estate that lies ready and waiting for a group getaway or special occasion. With rooms split across four buildings, focused around a magnificent shared space, Manoir de Lurin balances privacy with the opportunity to connect and celebrate to perfection.

Hidden amongst the lavish greenery of the Lurin hillside, Manoir de Lurin is wonderfully situated, with the airport just ten minutes away and the vibrant hub of Gustavia only five minutes away. Furthermore, the shining sands of Gouverneur Beach are a mere four minutes drive away and, with Salines and Saint Jean beaches also nearby, you will be truly spoilt for choice. The lofty setting of the estate provides spectacular panoramic views of the ocean, and sunsets across the bay, and the surrounding tropical gardens mean that fragrant aromas and delicate beauty lie everywhere you look.

The main house in Manoir de Lurin is a gorgeous, colonial-style edifice bordered by a covered terrace and plays host to the master bedroom with ensuite, personal desk and private balcony. Three other spaces provide their own personal charms and flavour. The Sunset View pavilion is a secluded little world of its own with two bedrooms - both with sea views - its own living room and bathroom with tub and outdoor shower. The bold and stately Garden pavilion offers a striking, mahogany-enclosed space with two queen beds, capacious ensuite bathroom and kitchen. The Guests pavilion is best suited for those wanting to get out and about and contains an ensuite bedroom with an alcove that provides an extra bed if needed.

Throughout the property, you will stumble across chic and elegant accents of style and flair: from the Christian Liaigre sofa and the vintage writing desks to the sumptuous mahogany four-poster beds and the wood-louvered windows and doors which make a true Caribbean home. A state-of-the-art kitchen hides its technology behind a charming, rustic style, with a beautiful blue stone island lying in a sea of terracotta tiles. The rich dark woods of the flooring form a pleasing contrast to the ivory walls and elegant arches: every detail sings with refinement and poise. For entertainment, there’s a billiard table and a media room with large, flatscreen TV.

Amongst the emerald lawns and swaying trees, awaits an array of shady spots for a peaceful picnic or afternoon tea. A grand deck leads up to a dining gazebo along with an outdoor kitchen, BBQ and sun beds. The immense sparkling pool seems to have been hewn from the very rocks which shape the garden and its sheer size (50ft by 13ft) gives you the feeling of bathing in a tropical river, rather than a simple pool. With every inch of its homes and grounds dedicated to simple splendour and the celebration of all that is finest, Manoir de Lurin really is the epitome of Caribbean enchantment.
