Villa Eclipse St Barts

Villa: Eclipse

Eclipse gives you six bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and an ocean view. You’ll find a mix of king, queen, and twin configurations across distinct spaces, from the main villa to a traditional island case. Your mornings begin with the Caribbean light filling rooms defined by clean lines and warm wood tones.

Five of these bedrooms look directly over the water, ensuring privacy and a consistent panorama for your entire group. The layout is thoughtfully distributed, offering separation and quiet corners alongside generous common areas. Bedroom 3 is the master suite. It’s positioned directly off the pool terrace, a location that prioritizes the vista. You’ll notice the elegant dark wooden floors first, a rich contrast to the high, white ceilings. This king-sized room comes with a dedicated dressing area and a very large bathroom for added convenience. Its equipment list is comprehensive, featuring air conditioning, a safe, a TV with US satellite, and a DVD player. An iPod Dock is there for your music, and the overall feel is one of spacious, minimalist calm focused squarely on the ocean view through its glass doors. The remaining bedrooms provide variety and character. Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 are often called the Red room and the Blue room, each featuring a queen-sized bed and that same ocean outlook.

They are identical in their amenities—air conditioning, DVD players, and en-suite showers—differentiated primarily by their bold color accents. Both have iPod Docks as well, and Bedroom 2 also includes a safe. For a truly unique experience, Bedroom 4 is housed in a traditional St. Barth "case," a separate bungalow that offers complete privacy. It has a queen-sized bed and includes the distinctive feature of an outside shower; its bathroom is located in a separate part of the bungalow.

Two more bedrooms occupy the lower levels. Bedroom 5 is a king-sized retreat on the lower level that comes with its own sitting room, providing a lounge area away from the main living space. Bedroom 6 is configured as an independent studio under the main villa, offering flexibility with a king or two twin beds. Both of these lower-level rooms have air conditioning, DVD players, en-suite showers, and iPod Docks. They also grant access to the villa’s cactus garden, a unique and textured landscape feature. You enter Eclipse through an alfresco courtyard, a transitional space that immediately introduces the indoor-outdoor flow. From this courtyard, you step directly into the expansive central living space, which integrates the lounge, dining, and kitchen zones, all oriented toward the vista. Large, elegant beige sofas and armchairs create a comfortable living room anchored by a beige textured rug. The space is bright and airy, open on multiple sides to let the island breeze wash through.

You’ll find a large wall-mounted TV here with Dish Network and US satellite, and an iPod Dock is ready for your playlists. It’s a natural spot to unwind with a drink, gazing past the terrace to the ocean. Adjacent to this, the open plan design flows into the dining area. A generous table of pale wood provides the spot for the entire party of twelve to dine together. The conversation can easily drift from the kitchen, as the sightlines are completely open. You’re surrounded by warm wood tones and those panoramic views, making every dinner a scenic event. The villa’s personality shines through in curated artwork and sculptures, like an elephant piece or a vibrant orange flamingo, adding playful notes to the serene backdrop. Guests who enjoy cooking will appreciate the gourmet kitchen. Rich, warm wood cabinetry is elegantly paired with gleaming stainless-steel appliances, resulting in a workspace that is both sophisticated and practical.

It’s equipped with a professional Lacanche stove featuring double ovens and a grill top, a full suite of appliances including a microwave, coffee machine, espresso machine, toaster, blender, and dishwasher. A Nespresso machine stands ready for your morning espresso. Whether you’re preparing a family feast or just mixing cocktails, this kitchen makes it a pleasure. Step outside and the villa’s most iconic feature commands your attention. A long, heated swimming pool, measuring 13.1 by 55.8 feet, stretches before you. Over it, a series of striking white contemporary arches are built directly along the water’s edge. They create dynamic areas of dappled shade on the surface throughout the day, a brilliant architectural detail that defines Eclipse’s outdoor space. The pool is surrounded by a beautiful teak terrace, where loungers are scattered for sunbathing. You can swim with a framed view of the rolling hills of St. Barts and the sparkling Caribbean sea beyond.

This expansive terrace wraps around the living areas, offering plenty of room for everyone. A comfortable outdoor lounge area provides cozy seating for evening conversations under the stars. For dining al fresco, you have a gas barbecue ready for grill nights. The outdoor experience is complemented by subtle details like a blue sculpture by the pool or a black alligator sculpture on the terrace, reinforcing the villa’s artistic vibe.

It is an extension of the indoor living space, magnifying those incredible views. For recreation beyond the pool, Eclipse includes a dedicated fitness room on the lower level. It’s air-conditioned and equipped with a body-building bench, a bike, and an elliptical trainer. This room also enjoys a panoramic view, making your workout anything but mundane. Inside, the villa is equipped with Wi-Fi throughout, a CD player, French satellite TV, and an iron and ironing board for your convenience.

The careful distribution of bedrooms across different levels—some at the entrance, one off the pool, one in a separate case, and two below—ensures both community and privacy for larger groups. Eclipse occupies a hillside location in Vitet, a locale also known as Camaruche, nestled between the areas of Lorient and Marigot. This elevated setting is the reason for its sweeping ocean views and the vista over the bay of Marigot. You’re about a 10 to 20 minute drive from Gustavia and the airport, and just a few minutes from the shops and restaurants of St. Jean. The drive is easily managed without a 4x4 vehicle. It’s a location that feels private and serene, yet keeps the island’s best beaches and amenities within a short, convenient drive. Your stay at Eclipse is managed by Premium Island Vacations.
