With three delightful bedrooms and space for up to six guests, MMK is a charming St Barts hideaway perfect for a family escape in the sun. Close to the bustling town of Saint Jean, this elegant villa is blessed with stunning vistas of the rolling countryside and the sparkling waters of the ocean.

St Barts is, quite simply, unique. This fascinating fusion of French colonial influences blended with authentic Afro-Caribbean culture gives it a distinctive character. The combination of cultural influences is apparent in everything, from the road signs to the cuisine, a spicy variant of Creole/classic French fusion food. The welcome is as warm as the sunshine, and the island's tranquil natural wonders just beg to be explored.

Modern, open-plan living design features make MMK a relaxed, transitional villa that seamlessly merges the inside and outside areas. The cool Trade Winds blow softly through the wide-open glass doors that lead into the main living area. The villa is built using a traditional Caribbean design with high vaulted ceilings and whitewashed walls, enlivened with pops of colour to add character. The kitchen is fully fitted and just the spot for whipping up a tasty meal or brewing that essential morning coffee. The outdoor dining area makes al fresco meals the order of the day, where you can enjoy million-star dining bathed in soft moonlight in the evening or bright, sunny breakfasts in the morning.

The villa's three air-conditioned bedrooms feature king-size beds and attractive ensuite bathrooms. Two open out onto the main terrace, while the third is on a lower level with a private sitting area and access to the tropical garden in all its finery.

Outside, a large infinity-edge pool is surrounded by a wide sun deck that provides magnificent views of the jungle canopy and the ocean in the distance. MMK is the epitome of a Caribbean retreat on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, where time seems to slow down and encourages you to do the same too.
