Made up of multiple interconnected white-washed pavilions, Pastel is a hidden gem, tucked away in the blissful Vitet countryside. The villa, in central St Barts, is located just 2km from the beaches, bars and restaurants of Pointe Milou and Mont Jean.

Pastel houses four bedrooms all with king-sized beds; two of which can be converted into twin beds creating flexible accommodation options for any guests. Two bedrooms have ladders leading up to secret mezzanine levels, a perfect hiding space for playful children enjoying their setting. The high vaulted ceilings and bright white colour palette create light, airy and serene spaces in which to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The stylish living room leads into a dining area and onto a modern fitted kitchen with mod-cons such as an espresso machine, ice machine and juicer, so you can enjoy a strong, hot coffee or a sweet glass of freshly squeezed orange juice each morning as you breathe in the refreshing hillside air and step barefoot out onto the warm wooden decking. The simple but chic villa is finished with modern materials, such as polished concrete and steel, without compromising the traditional charm which helps it blend in with its surroundings.

Outside, the smart teak deck frames a plunge pool lined with plush loungers and a shady gazebo, offering relief from the hot midday sun. There’s a barbecue for grilled lunches and a ping pong table for family fun. The outdoor gourmet kitchen is housed under a high, vaulted ceiling and is the perfect place to cook up a delicious family meal. Alternatively, you could hire a private chef to create a tasty menu of fresh fish, crunchy vegetables and sweet treats while you relax at the long, al fresco dining table and sip rich wine or refreshing iced cocktails.
