Saphire Seas (RGR)

St. Jean, St Barts

Villa Saphire Seas (RGR) is situated on the St Jean hillside, and provides breathtaking views across the bay from the iconic airport to the Eden Rock hotel and beyond. You enter the villa though a large teak door, and up a few steps, you are in the main house. Villa RGR is made for holiday living - all the open plan spaces seamlessly integrate. The main house consists of a large spacious room that can be open on both sides - giving you the sense of being inside but outside. The front of the house faces out to sea and you step out through large sliding doors onto a teak deck with a huge custom made teak table by the English designer Emily Readett Bayley. Below this, at a slightly lower level is the pool and the sundeck, all taking in the same uninterrupted view.
This main living area has the kitchen at one end with its individual eclectic touches such as hand chosen bowls, baskets and platters. At the other end there are the Italian Minotti sofas giving a cosy seating area. The whole room is decorated totally in shades of grey and white giving a calm relaxed feel - the interior comfortable but with clean lines. Two large silver sphere lamps from Morocco hang above the kitchen counter and there is a large dining table, made by the local carpenter on the Island, to the owners specification all following the grey and white styling. Either side of the main room a bedroom and bathroom each opening out on to a small lawn allowing you to lie in bed, and take in the breathtaking view.
In the bathrooms, the basins are made from huge river pebbles that have been hollowed out and there are both inside and outside showers. At the back of the main living area is courtyard making it a lovely place to sit quietly.
Up a few steps, you find another two bedrooms and bathrooms all decorated in the same gray and white tones â?? each room the same yet a little different. Villa RGR is a house for holidays every detail radiates, comfort, style and gives it the quiet magical feel that is St Barts.
In each of these the furniture is custom built and continues with the same palette and feel. There are large antique mirrors made of hammered metal panels from Birgit Israel in London, throws and elegant bowls from Paris.
