Grand-Cul-de-Sac is one of St Barts’ most exclusive locations; sitting in the heart of this glorious bay is villa Nala, a charming five-bedroom villa that welcomes up to ten guests. With panoramic views, bespoke décor and positioned just a few steps from the sugar-soft sand of the beach, Nala is an experience never to be forgotten.

St Barts offers so much for such a small island. Surrounded by some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and with a lush, tropical centre, St Barts is perfect for exploring. There are plenty of activities to try, including wakeboarding, kayaking, diving and water skiing. Or get involved in turtle conservation projects to help these gentle creatures thrive. Food lovers are in Creole heaven on St Barts, where you'll discover a fabulous fusion of French and Afro-Caribbean cuisine with an extra dose of spices. A must-try is mahi-mahi, or if you fancy a little indulgence (and it’s in season), the local lobster is hard to beat. Toast your vacation with some of the most notorious rum cocktails in the Caribbean.

After all that excitement, Nala offers a tranquil oasis of calm where you can relax and unwind. Split across two levels, the villa is contemporary yet comfortable, with no compromise on the little details. The living area is given that extra sensation of space thanks to the vaulted high ceiling, a feature of St Barts architecture. The kitchen and dining areas are sophisticated and well appointed, or you can go al fresco with two outside dining spaces to choose from for those meals under the stars. The five bedrooms all offer air-conditioned serenity, personal sitting areas and access to the terraces. They all have king-size beds and large, elegant ensuite bathrooms.

Outside, Nala is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens. A large terrace features an infinity pool as the main attraction and an outdoor bar area for cocktails in the sun. A few steps take you down to the beach, where you can feel the warm water lapping against your toes as you stroll along the sand at sunset. Breathe deeply, smell the salty sea air, and let the Trade Winds blow your cares away.
