Elevated above the rocky coastline of Pointe Milou, Maria is a stylish four-bedroom villa in St Barts. Accommodating up to eight guests with lots of room to spread out, it’s perfect for family holidays and gatherings with friends. Whether you’re searching for a tranquil haven to completely recharge in or an incredibly comfortable base for a holiday packed with adventure, Maria is the one for you.

When creating Maria, the French designer, Olivia Putnam, was inspired by the elegance of a ship’s bow. From this, the villa was brought to life - a chic retreat facing the shifting blue of the Caribbean, with the sound of crashing waves as its personal soundtrack.

The sunny deck is wonderful for whiling away your day in the island’s balmy temperatures. Fully furnished with comfy loungers and a private swimming pool, you’ll have all you need to unwind.

Nestled among lush tropical greenery, Maria blends beautifully into its natural surroundings thanks to the use of bamboo and volcanic stone materials throughout. The interior of the villa is set across two spacious levels, with an airy living and dining room at its heart. You’ll also find a separate media room to cosy up in and enjoy all your favourite films.

The four bedrooms are split across each level, with two rooms on the main level and the remaining two downstairs. All four have ensuite bathrooms, king-sized beds, and dressing rooms - although two can be converted into twins upon request.

Maria is conveniently placed, being steps away from the five-star Christopher hotel which offers two restaurants, a beach bar, and a spa to which you will have full access.
