Villa Carpe Diem St Barts

Villa: Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem gives you two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. You’ll find them positioned on either side of the villa’s entrance, offering a nice level of privacy with their direct exterior access. Both are spacious rooms with king-size beds, air conditioning, and high-definition televisions.

Their vaulted, whitewashed ceilings are supported by exposed dark wood beams, creating a sense of volume and a classic Caribbean architectural feel. Every bedroom offers a breathtaking ocean view, framing the sparkling water and sky from a space designed for personal tranquility. The decor here is traditional and cozy, featuring natural materials and personal touches like woven wall hangings that add to the island spirit. You’ll wake each morning to the same panoramic vista that defines the entire property, a seamless connection to the outdoors that begins the moment you open your eyes.

The en-suite bathrooms complete these personal sanctuaries, ensuring every convenience is close at hand. It’s a layout designed for couples or close friends, providing equal comfort and shared access to the villa’s most celebrated feature. That feature is the view. From its hillside perch in Colombier, Villa Carpe Diem commands a magnificent, sweeping panorama of the ocean. This commanding view encompasses the entire sweep from Gustavia Harbor in the east to the far-off silhouette of St. Maarten. It’s a vista that changes throughout the day, from the bright morning light on the water to the day’s main event. The sunset views here are exceptional. Each evening, the western sky transforms into a spectacle of color, painting the clouds and the sea below in brilliant gold and amber reflections. The villa becomes a dedicated lookout point for this daily performance, a fact celebrated by the ‘CARPE DIEM’ sign mounted on the property.

You’re invited to embrace the moment with a sundowner in hand, watching as the light washes over the surrounding hills and the water’s surface turns to fire. This isn’t a fleeting glimpse; it’s a front-row seat from multiple terraces and living spaces, a defining characteristic that you will experience from dawn until the last light fades. Your days will flow between the villa’s charming indoor spaces and its many outdoor rooms. The main living area is housed in its own separate bungalow, a bright and airy space with large sliding glass doors that open to the terrace. Inside, a comfortable lounge area features a white sofa accented with caramel-colored soft furnishings and armchairs, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

This is where you’ll find the villa’s playful heart: a foosball table ready for friendly competition, complemented by a library of books for quieter moments. A flat-screen television is also available for evening entertainment. The space is decorated with a bit of whimsy, a blend of rustic charm and personal character that feels authentic and lived-in. Adjacent to this living bungalow, the fully equipped kitchen is designed for effortless island living. Its wrap-around counter with barstools serves as a perfect breakfast bar or a spot for casual snacks, and it opens directly onto the covered outdoor dining area. Designed for sociable living, this arrangement lets you cook without missing a moment of conversation, all while enjoying the constant ocean air. Outside, the villa truly comes alive across a series of distinct terraces and gardens shaded by lush tropical trees. Multiple outdoor living and dining areas are at your disposal, each offering a slightly different perspective on the view and the surrounding greenery.

The covered dining terrace, just steps from the kitchen, is the natural spot for meals enjoyed in the gentle trade winds. A second, furnished outdoor space near the villa’s entrance provides another peaceful nook for reading or conversation. The visual observations note a whimsical statue of a cow in the garden, a quiet detail that adds to the property’s unique and charming personality. Stone walls with heart-shaped decorations and vibrant red corrugated metal roofs on some structures provide pops of color against the dominant white and wood palette. Casual, layered comfort defines the space, inviting you to move with the sun or seek shade, perpetually accompanied by nature's sounds and the panoramic vista. At the heart of the outdoor experience is the pool terrace.

Here, a beautiful pool with broad, gracious entry steps provides the perfect setting for a refreshing, calming dip. It’s flanked by deck chairs that face directly out toward the ocean, ensuring your relaxation is always accompanied by that incredible vista. This terrace also features a dedicated sundeck and a lookout point, emphasizing its role as the property’s premier vantage spot. The space is designed for pure leisure, whether you’re basking in the island sun, taking a midday dip, or simply sitting quietly as the world unfolds below. The proximity of the pool to the main outdoor dining area means refreshments are always close at hand. While the villa notes a third bedroom in a bungalow near the pool, this space is not currently available for guest rental, ensuring your privacy and exclusive use of the main amenities. The entire outdoor domain masterfully embodies indoor-outdoor living, with the boundaries between the built environment and the natural landscape artfully dissolved.

Carpe Diem’s location in Colombier provides the privacy and quiet that comes with a hillside setting, yet it keeps you well-connected to the island. The villa is situated high up on the slope, granting it both seclusion and its commanding perspective. You’re just a 10 to 20 minute drive from the airport, and a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access, making arrivals and explorations straightforward. The area of Colombier is known for its serene, residential feel and its proximity to some of the island’s beautiful natural landscapes and walking trails, including the path to Colombier Beach. From your elevated retreat, you can easily venture into Gustavia to explore its boutique shopping and renowned dining, or tour to other famous beaches and towns, knowing you have a private, view-filled haven to return to. This balance of easy access and removed tranquility is a key part of the villa’s appeal for those seeking an authentic St.

Barts villa rental experience that feels away from it all without being isolated. Choosing Carpe Diem means selecting a property with genuine character and a view that will define your holiday.
