Villa Arapede St Barts

Villa: Arapede

Arapede gives you two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and its own private bathroom. You’ll find both rooms oriented to capture the full ocean panorama. The primary suite, Bedroom 1, is integrated into the main pavilion.

It’s furnished with a queen bed measuring 5.9 by 6.56 feet, and it comes with air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a personal safe. Your view from here is a direct line to the sea, framed by the villa’s expansive glass. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a shower. Across the terracotta-tiled terrace, Bedroom 2 offers a more secluded retreat. This standalone bungalow features its own queen bed, air conditioning, and fan, with an identical ocean-facing aspect and a private bathroom with shower. This separation creates a sense of privacy for two couples or a family, where each party has a distinct space connected by the shared vista and the central living area. Step into the main living pavilion and you’re immediately confronted with the villa’s defining architectural statement. The room is physically shaped to embrace a massive, existing rock formation. This raw stone wall isn’t a decorative feature; it’s a foundational element the structure was built around.

High above, a ceiling of exposed dark wooden beams and rafters, supported by black metal brackets, adds a rustic yet modern grandeur. A built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelving unit acts as a room divider, providing space for books and objects. You’ll find a distinctive black butterfly chair here, a sculptural piece that complements the organic feel. The room is equipped with a fan and offers a continuous Ocean view through walls of glass. It’s a space that feels both anchored to the earth and utterly open to the sky and sea. Adjacent, the dining area is defined by a round glass table. It sits beneath a cluster of white spherical pendant lanterns that hang like moons from the wooden ceiling. This area flows directly from the living space, maintaining that same uninterrupted visual connection to the outdoors.

The kitchen continues the warm, earthy material palette with its wooden cabinetry, some featuring traditional shutters. An open shelving unit holds a woven basket, adding texture. It’s fully equipped for convenience, including a fan, microwave, espresso machine, toaster, blender, and dishwasher. You can prepare a meal while remaining part of the conversation and the view, thanks to the open layout. Outside, your world expands onto a large, terracotta-tiled terrace. The 9.8 by 26.2 foot swimming pool is the centerpiece, its dark liner creating a reflective surface that mirrors the sky. It’s framed by a clear glass-paneled railing, an intentional design choice that ensures nothing obstructs the panoramic ocean vista from any vantage point. The pool area and terrace are a direct extension of the living and dining rooms, achieved through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that vanish to erase the boundary between inside and out.

You have a gas barbecue here, ready for grilling fresh local fish or vegetables as the sun sets. This is your primary outdoor living room, furnished for lounging and dining al fresco against a soundtrack of trade winds and waves. The architectural character of Arapede is its most compelling feature. This isn’t a villa with a rock feature; it’s a villa built with the rock. The design is a bold conversation between raw, natural elements and refined modern living. Sloped, corrugated metal roofs on the structures, supported by wooden beams and latticework, further the rustic-modern aesthetic. The color palette is consistently warm and earthy: terracotta underfoot, textured concrete and white walls, and all that rich, exposed wood. This is contrasted by cool tones of glass and the dark pool. The result is a visual vibe that is organically grafted onto the hillside. The design feels daring and intimate, achieving a flawless harmony with its surroundings.

Your stay includes practical amenities to ensure comfort. The villa provides Wi-Fi throughout and a TV for evening entertainment. For convenience, there’s an iron and ironing board. The commitment to indoor-outdoor flow means you can live largely on the terrace, with the sound system and barbecue enhancing the experience. The two-bedroom configuration, with its separate bungalow, offers flexible accommodation. It’s a layout that works equally well for two couples desiring privacy or a small family. Every detail, from the specific bed sizes to the kitchen appliances, is presented to give you a complete and accurate understanding of what Arapede provides. Arapede is located in the exclusive enclave of Pointe Milou.

This area is known for its dramatic cliffside positions and sweeping easterly views over the Atlantic. The villa’s specific placement makes it feel suspended above the ocean. You’re a 10 to 20 minute drive from Gustaf III Airport, and the route does not require a 4x4 vehicle. The villa provides a private retreat, yet remains within easy reach of the island's celebrated beaches, restaurants, and boutiques. Pointe Milou itself is a quiet, residential area, suited for guests seeking tranquility and architectural interest over immediate beachfront access. Choosing Arapede means selecting an experience defined by its architecture and its view. This two-bedroom villa in Pointe Milou stands apart for its authentic integration with the landscape. You’re not just looking at the ocean; you’re living in a structure that respectfully and dramatically incorporates the very land it sits on.
