Villa Kiara House St Barts

Light floods in. It’s the first thing you notice at Kiara House, washing over blonde-wood floors and catching the soft teal of a pendant lamp. That bright, airy atmosphere is immediate, a relaxed blend of Hamptons ease and Caribbean light.

High white ceilings with dark-stained timber beams stretch overhead, while blue-painted wainscoting adds a crisp, classic frame to every room. This is a villa defined by its distinctive character, an eclectic, art-filled home that feels both collected and completely comfortable. You’re high in the hills of Vitet, where the view stretches over the lush Grand Fond valley to the Caribbean Sea. Uniquely for a hillside retreat, a path leads directly down to the sand, allowing you to move between elevated serenity and spontaneous shoreline moments with ease. Step inside the main living area, where the space feels both grand and inviting.

Those exposed beams draw your eye upward, adding texture to the bright white expanse. Glass doors stand open to the garden, merging the interior cool with the tropical greenery outside. A white grand piano sits as a quiet centerpiece, hinting at the villa’s artistic soul. Sink into the comfortable seating here, a mix of modern lines and vintage touches that creates that described Hamptons feel. The room is equipped for relaxed evenings with air conditioning, WiFi, and an HDTV with Canal Sat and Dish Network. It’s a large, comfortable room for escaping the afternoon sun or gathering after a day by the sea. Adjacent, the well-equipped kitchen is designed for both efficiency and view. The French country-style center island is a focal point, topped in dark countertop that contrasts with white cabinetry. It’s a practical space for preparing meals, outfitted with a full refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and range. You’ll find an ice maker, toaster, espresso machine, coffee maker, and microwave all within easy reach.

The real luxury is the perspective. The kitchen and its indoor dining area are positioned to frame that magnificent panorama through large windows. You’re not closed off; you’re connected, cooking with a vista of rolling hills and distant ocean blue. Outside, the main terrace level is your serene domain. The heated pool shimmers at its heart, its surface reflecting the sky. A pool alarm provides peace of mind for families. The deck space around it is furnished for pure leisure, with ample outdoor seating for lounging. A covered area shelters a dining table, where unique green pendant lights cast a soft glow over evening meals. You can fire up the BBQ for an alfresco lunch or rinse off in the outdoor shower after a swim.

A convenient half bath means you don’t have to go far. This space—pool deck, covered seating, indoor rooms—all focuses on one thing: the picture-postcard view over the valley and the sea. It’s an environment crafted for slow afternoons and long, lingering sunsets. The villa’s distinctive layout offers privacy and variety for guests. Two equal bedrooms reside on the garden level below the main house. Each features traditional Caribbean-style white shiplap walls and continues the signature blonde wood floors. They are bright, airy spaces, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Their decor carries the villa’s eclectic charm, with artwork themes of beach scenes, palm leaves, and bicycles adding playful, personal touches. One room might offer a cozy wicker chair in the corner, while another uses dark gray linens for contrast against the crisp white. They are quiet retreats, tucked into the lush hillside with garden views. A few steps up from the main house, the master bedroom awaits in its own private bungalow.

This separation creates a wonderful sense of retreat. The space is bathed in light, with the same crisp architectural details defining it. Your gaze is drawn to the artwork—perhaps a large, vibrant surfboard leaning against the wall or a canvas bursting with coral and navy hues. It’s a detail that embodies the villa’s art-filled, relaxed atmosphere. The en-suite bathroom provides a sanctuary, and the overall feel is one of secluded comfort. This bungalow layout ensures the master suite is a haven, a quiet step away from the main flow of the house with its own connection to the fresh island air. Located in the Vitet hills, Kiara House gives you the best of both worlds.

The setting is peaceful and elevated, with a perspective that captures the island’s green heart and blue horizon. You’re just a 10 to 20-minute drive from the airport, and a standard car is perfectly suitable for the access road. Then there’s that standout feature: direct access to the beach below. It’s a rare find for a villa with such a view, allowing you to transition from poolside serenity to sandy strolls without getting in the car. You’re well-positioned to explore the boutiques and restaurants of Gustavia, yet you’ll always have that quiet path to the sea. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected guests with distinctive island homes.

It’s a bright, welcoming base for families or friends, where art meets ease and the horizon is always in view. This is your relaxed, style-forward retreat in the Vitet hills, where every day ends with the sea’s gentle rhythm just a walk away.
