Villa Edunia St Barts

The light is different here. It’s a soft, golden wash that fills the open room, catching the warm tones of natural wood and the vibrant red of the rattan sofas. Cooling island breezes drift through the full-wall sliding doors, carrying the scent of salt and hibiscus.

Design & Ambiance This is the atmosphere of Villa Edunia, a contemporary four-bedroom home in Lurin where art, architecture, and the spectacular St. Barts sunset converge. Named for the artist Eduardo Kac, the villa feels like a living gallery, its design an extension of the hillside it occupies. That flow defines the living space. The large, open-plan main room is the heart of the home, anchored by a weathered wood dining table under a vaulted ceiling. Flanking one side, a lounge area is defined by bold sofas in a rattan weave of crimson and cream, their vibrancy complemented by Kac’s contemporary botanical prints on the surrounding walls. With the touch of a button, the entire space can transform. Large sliding glass doors pocket completely away on both sides, opening the room to the elements and unifying the indoors with the outdoors. You can close it off for air-conditioned comfort or let the Caribbean trade winds weave through.

Shared Spaces The kitchen continues this blend of style and function, featuring light beige cabinetry and a full suite of appliances including an oven, microwave, grill, espresso machine, and dishwasher. A high table with stools offers a casual spot for breakfast, the morning light spilling in.

Accommodations Each of the four bedrooms is a sun-filled space with an ocean view and an en-suite bathroom. Three are positioned on the main level, flanking the pool terrace. They are similarly sized and appointed, each featuring a U.S. king bed (convertible to two twins upon request), a dedicated dressing room, and refined, contemporary appointments. Two of these rooms open onto private balconies. The primary suite among them makes a distinct statement. Sleek brass wall sconces flank the bed, casting a warm glow, while a vibrant botanical or black-and-white wall mural creates a focal point that echoes the artistic theme found throughout the villa. The fourth bedroom offers a more independent arrangement on the lower level. It includes its own terrace, a kitchenette, and a private access point, providing flexibility for guests seeking a bit more separation or for a family with older children.

Outdoor Amenities Outside, the villa unfolds across two distinct spaces, each with its own character. To the rear, a grassy garden area is enclosed by rustic stone walls, offering a private, shaded lawn perfect for children to play. A seating area and a gas BBQ are nestled here, right in the tropical vegetation, providing an alternative spot for a casual meal. But the view is centered on the other side. The roof structure extends over the front terrace, creating a covered outdoor lounge that feels like a natural continuation of the living room. Here, your gaze is drawn past a large outdoor dining table, set with a striking white orchid centerpiece, to the fifteen-meter infinity pool. It’s a heated expanse of blue that appears to merge with the ocean far below, bordered by a sun deck lined with loungers. This is the villa’s stage, oriented for the daily performance of light and color over Gustavia’s harbor. A convenient half bath and a coded entrance gate complete this outdoor area.

Your Gateway to Island Living Villa Edunia’s location in Lurin places you perfectly between serene privacy and island activity. You’re just a few minutes’ drive up the hillside from Gustavia, putting the harbor’s shops and restaurants about a five-minute journey away. Shell Beach is a mere three-minute drive, and Gouverneur Beach is only five. The airport is a convenient 10 to 20 minutes away, and the villa is easily accessible without the need for a 4x4 vehicle.
