That ‘270’ refers to the degrees of this villa’s sensational sea views: a sweeping vista which follows the sun over tropical flanks, ocean and islands from Rams Head right round to St Thomas. You can see it from the curving pool. You can see it from the adjacent deck, which includes sunbeds, a shower, a dining area, a bar and even an outdoor TV. You can see it from St John Great House 270’s orchid garden, or from the shaded hammock. And you can see it from sheltered sitting or dining spaces along wrap-around upper terraces.

You can also admire those grand views from many spots indoors. Expertly built into hillside at the top of a private neighbourhood, the villa is designed to emphasise its wondrous perch. All three ensuite bedrooms look seawards through sliding glass doors. The trio also boast top-notch mattresses in four-poster, king-size beds and custom furnishings by prestigious American brands, such as Thos. Moser.

Other amenities are akin to a five-star resort. The chef-style kitchen includes everything down to a wine fridge and ice-cream maker, plus premium cookware. A contemporary smart TV lines a stone feature wall in the lounge, and every room is air-conditioned. Equally well-suited to families or groups of friends, the villa is within a 15-minute drive of bustling ‘capital’ Cruz Bay, national park hiking trails and Trunk Bay, frequently ranked among Earth’s top ten beaches.
