Villa Bastide St Barts

Bastide: Panoramic Serenity in Lurin

Villa Bastide looks out over the shimmering expanse of St. Jean Bay. The view is a constant, sweeping from the turquoise water to the green hills and the small planes making their dramatic approach to the airport. This panorama defines the Lurin villa, framing every indoor space and extending naturally to the terrace. It is a scene of serene blue that meets the villa’s clean, angular lines, creating a backdrop of sophisticated island calm.

The living spaces are designed around that view. A bold red console provides a striking pop of color against the living area’s neutral white walls and pale wood flooring, a playful dash that defines the villa’s chic character. This large, open-plan room flows from a lounge with wrap-around sofas into a dining area and then the kitchen, all on one elegant, single level. A distinctive copper pendant light adds a warm, metallic glow over the dining table, which seats six. The entire wall here is made of large glass doors that can be pulled completely open, allowing the trade winds inside and merging the cool, air-conditioned interior with the sun-drenched deck.

The living area is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, a TV with Apple TV, and that ever-present ocean vista. You will find the kitchen is fully integrated into this great room, featuring custom-made cabinetry and a comprehensive suite of appliances. It includes a microwave, a coffee machine, an espresso machine, a Nespresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. A wine cellar is built in for storing your selections. With air conditioning and a fan, it is a practical and stylish space where preparing meals feels connected to the social heart of the villa and the view outside.

The outdoor area at Villa Bastide is a destination in itself, fully equipped for full-day enjoyment. The centerpiece is a 59.1 by 11.5 foot infinity-edge pool, which is heated and appears to spill into the valley and sea beyond. It features integrated steps and a shallow lounging area. The sun deck is lined with loungers facing the vista. Under a covered section of the terrace, a full outdoor living and dining zone unfolds. Here you will find a gas barbecue, a kitchenette with a refrigerator, an ice machine, a blender, and a wet bar. This alfresco space includes a half bath for convenience and is serviced by its own WiFi network. A coded entrance gate provides security and privacy to the entire property.

Three bedrooms, each with an ocean view, provide privacy and comfort for up to six guests. The villa’s layout ensures not a single room misses the spectacle of St. Jean Bay. The primary suite, Bedroom 1, commands attention with its direct access and special features. It features a queen-sized bed (5.9 x 6.56 ft) set against a custom wooden headboard with integrated lighting. This room opens to a private terrace, allowing you to step straight into the morning light over the bay. Inside, you have a dressing area and an iPod dock for your music. The en-suite bathroom includes a shower, and it leads to a private outside shower. Equipment includes air conditioning, a safe, a TV with both French and US satellite channels, ensuring this room is as connected as it is serene.

Bedroom 2 offers another queen-sized bed (5.9 x 6.56 ft) facing the ocean. It is connected to Bedroom 3, providing a flexible arrangement perfect for families or friends traveling together. This room is equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a TV with French and US satellite, and an iPod dock. Its en-suite features a bathroom with a shower, finished with the same clean, contemporary style found throughout the villa.

Bedroom 3 mirrors the master in several key amenities. It has a queen-sized bed (5.9 x 6.56 ft), an ocean view, and includes both a dressing area and a dedicated office space. Like Bedroom 1, it features a coveted outside shower in addition to its en-suite bathroom with a shower. It shares the connection to Bedroom 2 and is equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a TV with dual satellite services, and an iPod dock.

Beyond the main terrace, a separate fitness room allows you to maintain your routine. Located one level below for quiet, it is air-conditioned and equipped with a bike and a treadmill, all while offering a nice ocean view to motivate your workout.

Villa Bastide’s position in the Lurin hills offers both tranquility and convenience. The drive to Gustavia, with its high-end shopping and restaurants, takes only a few minutes. The famous beaches of Gouverneur and St. Jean are also just a short drive away. The airport is approximately 10 to 20 minutes from the villa, and a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access, making arrivals and explorations straightforward. As a three-bedroom villa in Lurin, Bastide represents a strong option for those seeking a blend of modern design, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and that quintessential St. Barts panorama.
