Villa Ivy St Barts

Villa Ivy looks out over the ocean. Its position on the heights of St. Jean frames a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea, the curve of St.

Jean Bay, and the distant outlines of Île Toc Vers and Île Frégate. This vista is present from nearly every interior space and the central focus of the outdoor terrace. The contemporary structure, with its clean lines and gray stone facade, is designed as a view-led platform. Expansive sliding glass doors act as moving picture frames, ensuring the connection to the water and sky is constant and immersive. You’re met with a bright, airy interior where the minimalist white volumes recede, allowing the ever-changing blues of the ocean to dominate the visual field. That connection between inside and out is the villa's architectural signature.

High, vaulted ceilings in the main living spaces amplify the light and volume, capturing the island sun that streams through the glass. The flow is intuitive and unobstructed. From the central living area, you step directly onto the terrace; from the kitchen, you pass the breakfast bar to reach the outdoors; and each bedroom opens privately to the pool deck.

This layout creates a relaxed, single-level environment. The overall visual vibe is one of calm simplicity, punctuated by thoughtful details like a unique woven pendant light in warm orange and natural materials that adds a tactile, artistic touch against the crisp white backdrop. The outdoor living space at Villa Ivy is an extension of the home’s design, centered around a heated infinity pool with a distinctive curved edge.

This pool appears to spill towards the ocean vista, creating a visual effect that blends the turquoise water with the distant sea. Steps provide easy access into the heated water. The surrounding terrace, laid with dark gray tiles, features a sun deck furnished with loungers, offering plenty of space for sunbathing while taking in the panorama. For alfresco dining, a covered area shelters a dining table illuminated by a distinctive large white spherical light fixture, creating an ideal setting for evening meals. A gas BBQ is on hand for grilling, and the entire terrace is served by WiFi, allowing you to share the view in real-time. The outdoor area is completed by a green lawn just a few steps down from the pool deck, providing another peaceful vantage point over the Caribbean landscape.

The living room is the social center of this St. Barts luxury villa, an air-conditioned space equipped with a fan for added comfort. Furnished with plush, inviting couches, it’s arranged to encourage relaxation while facing the view. A large television provides entertainment with access to both French and US satellite channels, making it easy to unwind with a movie after a day in the sun. The room’s design prioritizes comfort and connection, with its high ceiling drawing the eye upward and the glass wall pulling it outward toward the horizon. Just steps away, the modern kitchen continues this theme of integrated living. It features a striking contrast of white cabinetry against dark, glossy countertops, and is comprehensively equipped with a microwave, coffee machine, toaster, blender, and dishwasher. Its large central island is a multi-purpose hub, perfect for preparing meals, mixing cocktails, or serving as a casual breakfast bar for quick meals and conversation, all while enjoying the through-views to the terrace.

Villa Ivy features two virtually identical king-size bedrooms, positioned on opposite sides of the living area to ensure complete privacy for guests. This symmetrical layout makes the two-bedroom villa particularly versatile for two couples traveling together or a family. Each bedroom is a serene, air-conditioned retreat with direct access to the outdoor terrace and those uninterrupted ocean views.

They are equipped with a television offering both French and US satellite channels, and each includes a private, en-suite bathroom with a shower. The bedrooms share a clean, calming aesthetic with white walls and vaulted ceilings, but are subtly animated by vibrant color accents in the soft furnishings, such as blue and yellow pillows that add a cheerful, island-inspired touch. The consistent quality and mirror-image layout mean there’s no debate over who gets the better room. Villa Ivy’s location in St. Jean offers a superb balance of tranquility and convenience. Perched in the hills above the popular area, it provides privacy, yet the vibrant life of St. Jean is only a short drive away. You’re just minutes from the famous St. Jean beach, with its restaurants, shops, and water sports, and the capital of Gustavia is approximately a five-minute drive. The villa is also within easy reach of Lorient Beach. The property does not require a 4x4 vehicle for access, and the airport is a convenient 10 to 20-minute transfer.

This prime location places Ivy ideally for a mid-range stay, delivering high-design living and spectacular views from a well-positioned point in the St. Barts villa market.
