With three beautiful bedrooms and comfortably sleeping up to six guests, Meli Melo is a tropical paradise where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The stunning location close to St Jean Beach is ideal for anyone who dreams of strolling along a beach at sunset as the wind whispers through the palm trees.

St Jean Beach is regarded as not just one of the best beaches in the Caribbean but one of the finest in the world. This spectacular beach epitomises the Caribbean dream, with powder-soft white sand lapped by an azure ocean. Water sports are a major feature here, with the Trade Winds that caress the island, making it one of the top destinations for windsurfing. If you've always wanted to try the sport, your dedicated concierge can arrange for equipment hire and tuition to help you make the most of your time.

Built over two levels, Meli Melo is a contemporary St Barts villa rental that elevates the experience to the next level. Fusing traditional island architectural motifs with a more modern palette and choice of furnishings, the ambience is cosy, relaxed and spacious, with a flawless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The fully-equipped kitchen lets you rustle up a plate of fresh crab cakes to accompany your rum cocktails or prepare something a little more formal to eat in the elegant dining room. To work off that rich food, the villa comes with a well-equipped fitness room.

The three bedrooms are serene spaces where the scent of jasmine from the lush gardens and the soft breeze lull you gently into a restful sleep. All three have king-size beds and king-size views to match. The primary suite sits at the front of the villa and greets early-morning risers with a fabulous view of the bay. The remaining two guestrooms both have views of the ocean and Saline and are havens of peace and quiet. The fresh, white ensuites are spa-standard with walk-in showers.

Outside, a sparkling pool is inviting for a few laps before breakfast, while the well-established and beautifully manicured tropical gardens are filled with fragrant flowers. A sun terrace surrounds the pool, or you can adjourn to the outdoor living area with a cocktail and watch the sunset over Saline with a cocktail in hand and wait for that magical moment when the stars start to blaze across the sky. Meli Melo is perfect for that lazy, laid-back Caribbean vacation you have always promised yourself.
