On arrival to this sublime villa guests instantly know that they have entered one of the finest tropical sanctuaries in the Caribbean. Situated high on the hillside overlooking Lorient Bay in one of the most blissfully unspoilt areas of St Barts lies the spectacular Villa Veronika with sublime ocean views at every vantage point.

The home is a design lover’s dream with high, open pavilions and rich dark wood floors and walls throughout, all of which evoke a Balinese flair, further contributing to the serene ambience of the villa. A large rattan sofa sits lavishly in the living area, complete with an exquisite formal dining room seating up to eight guests; this space is ideal for a special occasion meal or a celebration with loved ones. In contrast to the old-world island feel of the rest of the home, the ultra-modern, colourful kitchen is a paradise for any discerning gourmand. This space leads directly out through a large glass door to the stunning al fresco dining area and wooden decking stretching out to the horizon. Lie lazily around the sun-soaked pool and marvel at the panoramas or enjoy a book in the shade in the outside lounge area fit with colourful cushions.

Each of the three beautifully-appointed bedrooms has its own unique personality. All rooms boast spacious ensuite bathrooms and two are situated in separate cottages within the home, for added privacy. This feature makes Villa Veronika ideally suited to groups of friends travelling together.
