Villa Anja St Barts

Villa Anja looks directly onto the sand and sea of Lorient Beach. The view is the central, organizing principle of its design, a constant panorama of calm water and sky framed by the villa’s own wooden deck. This isn't a distant vista from a hillside; it's an immediate, intimate connection where the boundary between the property and the beachfront dissolves.

The architecture turns entirely toward this scene, creating a living experience that is permanently oriented to the light, the breeze, and the sound of the waves. You're not just near the beach here, you are of it, with the outdoor deck serving as a direct extension of the shoreline. This beachfront positioning is the villa's defining feature, a rarity among St. Barts luxury villas. A clear, direct pathway leads from the wooden terrace down a few simple steps onto the soft sand, confirming the promise of direct beach access. The design capitalizes on this with a single-level, open-plan layout where the primary living space isn't inside a room at all.

This expansive, sun-drenched wooden deck functions as the home's true heart. Large sliding glass doors and open doorways from the interior rooms create a transparent connection to this central outdoor area, ensuring the ocean view and the outdoor living ethos are present from every point within the villa. Living here happens in the open air. Furnished for alfresco life, the deck presents sun loungers arranged alongside the generous swimming pool. A covered area provides shade for reading or conversation, while the entire space is unified by the predominant material palette of warm, natural wood underfoot and overhead against crisp white structural walls. Anchoring the pool's edge, a covered pavilion provides a shaded lounge and a dedicated grilling station, forming an outdoor sanctuary for casual meals or sunset cocktails. An outdoor dining table sits beneath an umbrella, and an outdoor shower near the deck enhances the beachfront functionality. You'll find an outdoor sound system for music, and the entire property is served by WiFi.

The practicalities are handled with a coded entrance gate and ample parking on the villa's single, easily accessible level. When you step inside, the aesthetic is one of minimalist contrast and cool relief. The galley kitchen presents a striking visual: sleek black countertops set against clean white cabinetry and walls. Designed for efficiency, the fully equipped galley features an oven, gas stove top, microwave, toaster, and espresso machine. A dishwasher, phone, juicer, ice maker, and refrigerator complete the setup. A cozy bistro set in the kitchen provides a convenient nook for morning coffee, yet the allure of the terrace is ever-present. The design encourages simplicity, with a compact, air-conditioned interior providing a complete and serene retreat from the sun. The bedroom continues this theme of elegant simplicity with a focus on comfort and connection to the outdoors.

The room is appointed with a spacious European king bed and benefits from full climate control. High, sloped ceilings with exposed wooden beams create an airy, open volume, enhancing the sense of space and calm. A woven pendant light fixture adds a touch of rustic texture. For entertainment, there's an HDTV with Canal Sat, and a programmable safe provides security. The room opens directly onto the central wooden deck, ensuring the ocean view and breeze are integral parts of the experience. Its ensuite bathroom is finished with soft, warm beige tiles on the walls and floor, and it's equipped with a rain head shower and a steamer, blending practicality with a spa-like feel. The pool area is the focal point of the outdoor deck.

You'll find a good-size swimming pool, complete with steps for easy access, positioned to maximize the beachfront sightlines. Sun decks surround it, providing plenty of space for loungers. The adjacent gas BBQ in the shaded gazebo makes al fresco meals simple, from poolside lunches to sunset dinners. The direct beach access means you can transition from a swim in the freshwater pool to a walk along the sand or a dip in the Caribbean Sea in moments. This effortless flow defines the daily rhythm at Villa Anja. Located in the calm and peaceful area of Lorient, Villa Anja occupies one of the island's most tranquil corners.

The beach here is known for its gentle waters, and the villa's position right on the sand is exceptionally rare. The villa is a convenient 10 to 20 minute drive from the airport, with no 4x4 vehicle required for access. The villa's location is just steps from the soft sands of Lorient Beach, a short stroll from the village's boutiques and the renowned Petite Colombe, all while maintaining a deeply private and peaceful ambiance. This one-bedroom villa in Lorient is presented by Premium Island Vacations, who bring over 20 years of expertise in matching guests with the finest island properties.

Villa Anja represents a specific type of St. Barts holiday: minimalist, beach-obsessed, and entirely focused on the serene dialogue between a comfortable wooden deck and the endless blue of the Caribbean.
