Villa At Yaya St Barts

At Yaya looks out over the harbor and the open ocean. The view is a constant, panoramic presence, framing the villa's modern silhouette against the sky. From the main terrace, your gaze sweeps across the water to the distant horizon, a vista that transforms dramatically with the sun's arc.

This position on the Gustavia heights provides front-row seats for the island's famous sunsets, where the sky ignites in color before giving way to the twinkling lights of the town and harbor below. The villa’s design emphasizes a serene, muted palette. White walls and high, white-beamed ceilings define the main living area, creating a bright and airy volume filled with natural light. Contrast comes from dark wood elements—exposed ceiling beams and sleek furniture frames—while natural textures are introduced through woven chairs, rope-like pendant lights, and light stone flooring. Large, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors line the living room, opening completely to connect the interior with the lush, panoramic outdoors. This open-plan main level connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas into one cohesive space. The living area, equipped with a fan and offering an ocean view, features a Smart TV with Apple TV and Dish satellite. It connects directly to an extra air-conditioned TV room, providing a cozy retreat for movie nights.

The space is designed for gathering, with sightlines that carry from the interior lounge straight out to the infinity pool and the sea beyond. Flowing from here, the fully equipped kitchen stands ready. It includes air conditioning, a microwave, a coffee machine, an espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. A dining table for eight people is situated nearby, positioned to make the most of the views whether you’re inside or venturing onto the terrace.

The outdoor terrace is built around the 82-foot by 13-foot heated infinity pool. Designed to visually merge with the ocean horizon, the pool is framed by lush tropical foliage and a distinctive palm tree. It features steps for easy entry and remains heated for year-round comfort. A unique wooden walkway and railing runs alongside it, adding texture to the space. The terrace is equipped with a half bath for convenience, a charcoal BBQ, and an integrated sound system. WiFi extends throughout the area, and a coded entrance gate secures the property. Four well-separated bedrooms ensure privacy for all guests, distributed over two levels with multiple access points. The primary suites on the main floor command the most attention, each with direct access to the pool terrace. Bedroom 1 is a spacious ocean-view suite featuring a queen bed (5.9 × 6.56). It comes with air conditioning, a fan, a safe, a TV with US satellite, and a Marshall speaker.

Its en-suite bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower, but its most distinctive feature is the exterior bathtub—a private, open-air indulgence. Bedroom 2 mirrors this privileged position. It also offers a queen bed (5.9 × 6.56), an ocean view, and direct terrace access. Air conditioning, a fan, a safe, a TV with US satellite, and a Marshall speaker are provided. Its en-suite bathroom is equipped with a shower. Accessed via internal stairs or directly from the parking area, the lower level presents two further bedrooms, each overlooking the garden and enjoying a quiet, private atmosphere. Bedroom 3 features a queen bed (1.8 × 2), air conditioning, a fan, a safe, a TV with US satellite, and a Marshall speaker. Its en-suite bathroom has a shower. Bedroom 4 is similarly appointed with a queen bed (1.8 × 2) and the same suite of amenities, including the Marshall speaker. Its en-suite bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower.

Also on the lower level, accessible from indoors, a dedicated fitness room allows guests to maintain their wellness routine. It is air-conditioned and has a TV, with a window looking out into the pool area. This facility, along with the gas barbecue, iron and ironing board, and comprehensive audiovisual equipment throughout, rounds out the villa’s practical amenities. The location in Gustavia places you within a 10 to 20-minute drive from the airport, and a standard vehicle is suitable for access; no 4x4 is required. You’re close to the energy of Gustavia’s shops and restaurants, yet returned to a private, elevated retreat. Villa At Yaya represents a specific kind of St. Barts luxury—one that is modern, serene, and visually connected to the landscape. Its four-bedroom configuration, with well-separated suites and expansive communal areas, makes it a strong option for families or groups of friends seeking both togetherness and privacy. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected guests with properties that capture the essence of island living, and this Gustavia villa, with its exceptional sunset views and masterful design, is a definitive example.

It is a place where the view is always part of the conversation, and the line between inside and out is beautifully, intentionally blurred.
