Sheherazade is an opulent romantic retreat woven into the hillside above Gustavia Harbour on the western side of St Barts, boasting unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding ocean. Artfully hidden from everyday life, this home is perfect for a couple looking to reconnect and blissfully rejuvenate.

From the villa’s high perch in Corossol, the infinity pool blends in with the natural environment and gives the impression of spilling over into the crystal clear waters below. The living area is equally as breathtaking, with subtle Middle Eastern design touches throughout. The main room boasts a living and dining space which can open to the outdoors if preferred, with a large terrace enhancing the stunning view from all angles. The natural rock wall in the home is the backdrop to a seating area adorned with plush silk cushions, which can be transformed into an intimate little hideaway by drawing the curtains that surround it. The space blends seamlessly with the well-appointed, modern kitchen, fit with Moroccan style lamps and tagines.

The bedroom offers a decadent ensuite bathroom, direct access to the outdoors so you can meander down to the pool, extensive sea views and a regal scalloped arch design above the king bed. The villa is close to stylish bars and eateries on the island but is also perfect for a secluded sunset dinner for two, in complete privacy. Come nightfall, watch the lights flicker from the yachts below and draw back the giant glass windows so that you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and awaken to scintillating sunrises, without having to move from the plush bed.
