Villa La Magnifica St Barts

La Magnifica: Modern Hillside Retreat in Deve

La Magnifica gives you two bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed and its own ensuite bathroom. The primary suite is the villa’s focal point. You’ll find it adjacent to the main living area, with sliding doors that open directly to the covered terrace.

Step from the bedrooms into the villa’s bright, open-plan heart. The living area feels loft-like, with a high white ceiling crisscrossed by dark wooden beams that create a striking contrast. Large windows and sliding glass doors stand on three sides, framing views of both the tropical garden and the expansive ocean vista. This is a kitchen designed for both easy holiday meals and more ambitious culinary projects, all within the social flow of the villa. Your days will naturally gravitate outside, where La Magnifica’s split-level design truly shines.

The primary suite is the villa’s focal point. You’ll find it adjacent to the main living area, with sliding doors that open directly to the covered terrace. Its king bed faces an ocean view, and the room is equipped with air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a safe for your valuables. A large dressing area provides ample storage, while entertainment comes from a TV with French satellite channels and a DVD player. An iPod dock lets you set the mood with your own music, and the ensuite bathroom features a shower. This is a room designed for mornings spent with coffee on your private terrace and evenings lulled by the sea breeze. The second bedroom offers a different kind of privacy. It’s situated on a lower level beneath the main villa, a quiet and self-contained space. It also features a king-sized bed, air conditioning, and a fan, along with a TV offering French satellite and DVD capabilities. Its ensuite bathroom is similarly appointed with a shower. The room’s notable characteristic is its lack of an outward view, as noted in the villa’s records, making it a cool, dark retreat perfect for late sleepers or teenagers. It provides comfortable, modern accommodation with a sense of separation from the main living areas.

You’ll relax on a plush L-shaped sofa positioned perfectly by the doors to catch the cooling trade winds. The room is kept comfortable with air conditioning and a fan, and it’s equipped with a Dish Network satellite system for US television, a CD player, and an iPod dock. A daybed invites an afternoon read, blending the line between indoor comfort and the allure of the outdoors just steps away. The kitchen flows from the living space, positioned at the back with a large window overlooking the garden. It’s a study in sleek, modern efficiency with white cabinetry and dark countertops. A central island with stool seating creates a natural spot for breakfast or casual conversation. You’ll have every appliance you need, including a microwave, a Krups coffee machine, an espresso machine, a toaster, and a blender. Cleaning up is effortless with the included dishwasher. A unique feature is the wine cellar, perfect for chilling your favorite bottles purchased from the island’s shops.

The covered terrace, with its warm teak decking, acts as an extension of the living room. Here, a wooden pergola shelters an outdoor dining table set for six, your setting for meals with a panoramic backdrop of Petit Cul de Sac and Toiny Bay. A daybed on this terrace offers a shaded lounge spot, while a gas barbecue stands ready for classic grill nights. To one side, a stretch of green lawn dotted with palm and banana trees features a small round table, a quiet nook for a morning coffee. A few steps down leads you to the sun-drenched lower deck and the villa’s standout feature: the long, glistening swimming pool. It measures 29.5 by 16.4 feet, a generous rectangle of cool water that seems to merge with the ocean horizon. This area is bathed in full sun, furnished with inviting chaises longues for soaking up the St. Barts rays. The pool is not heated, but in this climate, it’s always refreshing. This lower level is dedicated to leisure, where you can swim, lounge, and gaze out at the rolling hills meeting the sea, with the sound system capabilities extending your music outdoors.

La Magnifica is situated in the Deve area, at the far end of the Vitet hillside. This location provides a wonderful sense of privacy and those sweeping ocean views, yet it keeps you well-connected. You’re just a 10 to 20 minute drive from Gustavia’s shops and restaurants, and the famous beaches of St. Jean and Shell Beach are within easy reach. The villa does not require a 4x4 vehicle for access, making arrivals and explorations straightforward. While the villa is not suited for young children due to its split-level layout and pool, it’s an excellent choice for families with older teenagers or two couples, offering both shared social spaces and defined private areas.
