Ultra minimalism lets the fabulous vistas sing out at Villa Rock, a bespoke villa on the Caribbean island of St Barts. Simple yet stylish, Villa Rock is a three-bedroom villa that offers up to six guests a serene and private getaway in the sun.

St Barts has a unique character, a spiced blend of French and Caribbean culture that’s unlike any of its neighbouring islands. This serene tropical island is known for its vitality, colourful festivals, and laid-back lifestyle. Natural wonders surround you both on land and under the crystal-clear waves, where coral reefs filled with fish are a snorkeller’s paradise. On land, hiking trails take you deep into the interior, and the truly adventurous can embark on an adventure up Morne du Vitet, the highest peak on the island.

The key to Villa Rock’s appeal is its understated refinement. However, the accents used throughout the villa elevate it to the extraordinary. A gourmet kitchen is brought to life with organic light shades and soft wood panelling, while the open-plan living space allows the sun terrace and those genuinely spectacular views to take precedence. An infinity pool seems to melt seamlessly into the ocean below, while subtly manicured gardens are just the spot for that early-morning yoga session. Salute the sun while the breeze whispers in the palm trees.

The villa's three bedrooms are sublime. The master bedroom suite offers a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom, with picture windows framing the ocean views, and private access to the room. Bedrooms two and three both provide king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms and also have private access. Little touches such as programmable safes, and rainfall showers in the ensuite bathrooms give them an elegant and sophisticated ambience. All three use that minimalist aesthetic to create a tranquil oasis that’s elevated by the natural beauty of the surroundings. Villa Rock is an indulgent haven on one of the French West Indies’ most beautiful islands.
