With four serene bedrooms and comfortably sleeping up to eight guests, Villa Ott is a magical escape in the tropical paradise of St Barts. With sweeping views across St Jean Bay all the way to Saline, Villa Ott is a perfect retreat for families who relish time together surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Picture the quintessential Caribbean beach, and you have St Jean Beach. It is justifiably the island's most desirable spot, a never-ending swathe of powder-soft white sand lapped by azure water. But thanks to its size, this beach avoids that crowded feeling, letting you go for a sunset stroll with someone special, leaving a trail of footprints in the sand. Afterwards, let your dedicated concierge arrange reservations for a delicious meal of fresh seafood at one of the beachfront restaurants.

Villa Ott is typical of the best St Barts villas to rent, with its high-pitched ceilings, fresh, white interiors and indoor-outdoor lifestyle experience. The living areas are flooded with light thanks to the glass wall that fully opens and allows the soft Caribbean breeze to blow in. Furnishings are plush and echo the neutral tones with pops of sunshine orange textiles to lift them and give the space character. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and combines indoor and outdoor dining areas to make the most of those incredible views.

On the upper level is the primary suite, which has a spacious king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with an indulgent rainfall shower. Step out onto your private terrace for those early-morning coffee-and-a-view moments. A work area gives you space to answer essential emails before you get distracted by those ever-changing vistas once more. Two additional king-size bedrooms are located on the upper and lower levels, while a cosy queen-size bedroom is on the garden level with a private terrace and access to your own little garden oasis.

Outside, the large infinity pool sparkles in the sunshine, seeming to melt into the forest below. A sun terrace lined with loungers allows you to lie back and soak up the sunshine. At night, clever contemporary lighting brings the terrace to life, echoing the millions of stars above you. Villa Ott is your idyllic escape in the Caribbean, where time slows, and you can leave all your everyday cares far behind.
