Villa Ixfalia St Barts

Ixfalia: African-Inspired Sanctuary in St. Jean

Villa Ixfalia provides a four-bedroom St. Barts villa rental with a heated 98-foot pool, a private fitness bungalow, and exceptional sunset views over St. Jean Bay. This property includes a separate master suite pavilion, three additional bedrooms in the main house, and a distinctive African-inspired interior design.

Inside the main house, a high ceiling with exposed wooden beams creates a warm, lodge-like atmosphere in the great room. The living room, kitchen, and covered dining terrace function as one contiguous space that opens fully to the outdoors. A collection of large, intricately woven 'bird's-nest' pendant lights hangs from the ceiling, complemented by African-inspired art objects like driftwood sculptures and shell necklaces that round out the villa’s travel-themed decor.

The four bedrooms at Villa Ixfalia are all air-conditioned and feature en-suite bathrooms, safes, US satellite TV, Apple TV, TNT, DishNetwork, and iPod docks. The primary suite, named Bedroom 1, is housed in its own freestanding bungalow for maximum privacy. It contains a king-size bed and faces the ocean view. This room includes a bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower, along with its own private outdoor terrace. The decor continues the natural theme with driftwood and woven textures, creating a Zen retreat separate from the main house. Bedroom 2 is located within the main house and offers a queen-size bed with garden views. Its en-suite bathroom includes a shower and a private outdoor shower enclosure surrounded by greenery. Bedroom 3 also features a queen-size bed and enjoys an ocean view. This room's en-suite bathroom is equipped with a shower. The fourth bedroom, Bedroom 4, provides another queen-size bed and an ocean view. Similar to Bedroom 2, it includes an en-suite bathroom with a shower and an additional outdoor shower. This layout, with three bedrooms in the main house and one separate master pavilion, offers flexible accommodation for groups or families.

The living area is equipped with a Sonos sound system, a Bose sound system, Apple TV, and both TNT and DishNetwork satellite US television. Across from the living space, the kitchen features light brown wooden cabinetry with black countertops. It includes a microwave, a coffee machine, an espresso machine, a Nespresso machine, a toaster, a blender, a dishwasher, a plancha grill, and an ice maker. The adjacent covered dining terrace holds a large wooden table with seating, positioned for meals with an unobstructed view of the bay and the iconic Eden Rock hotel.

The outdoor area is defined by its exceptional heated infinity pool. It measures 98.4 feet long by 13.1 feet wide, curving along the hillside to maximize the panoramic ocean vista. This pool is heated for your comfort, allowing for a swim at any time of day. The terrace surrounding it provides ample space for sun loungers and leads directly from the main living area through large sliding glass doors. Below the main level, a separate sundeck offers additional private seating to enjoy the view and the lush, exotic garden filled with palm trees and dramatic rock formations.

A key facility at Villa Ixfalia is its private fitness room, located in its own bungalow on a lower level of the property. This air-conditioned gym is equipped with a treadmill, an elliptical machine, a stability ball, and Technogym equipment.

Other villa facilities include high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, an iron and ironing board, and of course, the heated pool. You'll find this villa situated in the private Morne des Diamants area above St. Jean, approximately a 15-minute drive from the airport, with no requirement for a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The property's hillside position in St. Jean ensures a high level of privacy while placing you just minutes from the shops and restaurants of St. Jean and a short drive from Gustavia. The west-facing orientation guarantees those exceptional sunset views over the water, a daily spectacle from the terrace or the pool.
