Villa Kyody St Barts

Kyody: Rustic-Chic Sanctuary in Marigot

Kyody gives you two king bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and a direct view of the ocean. This Marigot villa is built for two couples or a small family, sleeping up to five guests in total. Your focus will likely be on the primary suite.

Step into the living area and you’re immediately greeted by a sense of spacious warmth. Sumptuous sofas and refined wood furniture ground the room, while a ceiling fan gently circulates the balmy air. Through a grand, arched doorway, your eye is drawn past the interior to the terrace and the glimmering pool deck beyond. This flow is the home’s defining architectural gesture. Expansive doors swing open, flooding the interior with sunlight and inviting the refreshing salt-air winds from Grand Cul-de-Sac Bay inside. A distinctive brick archway frames an entrance within this room, adding a layer of rustic texture against the smooth white walls and terracotta tile floors.

Bedroom 1 offers a king-sized bed dressed with a practical mosquito net, set within a room defined by high, beamed ceilings and walls painted in a warm, earthy yellow. You’ll find air conditioning, a safe for your valuables, and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower. The view from here is a framed portrait of the Caribbean, seen through one of the villa’s signature arched windows. It’s a space that feels both rustic and romantic, a private retreat after a day in the sun. The second bedroom provides an equally spacious king bed, also with air conditioning, a mosquito net, and a safe. Its en-suite bathroom includes a bathtub, and it shares the same captivating ocean vista. Accessed via a staircase, this upper-level room offers a slightly more elevated perspective over the lush hillside and the water beyond. Both rooms ensure the same high level of comfort and privacy, making Kyody a genuinely balanced choice for two couples.

You can relax here watching the US satellite TV, with access to Dish and Netflix, or use the international phone for free American long-distance calling. Speakers are on hand to set the mood with your own music. For a quieter moment, the villa features a cozy reading nook upstairs, complete with a bookshelf and a soft daybed, a perfect spot to get lost in a novel. The separate dining room is just off the main living space, centered around a rounded wooden table that can seat up to eight guests for an elegant indoor dinner party. Adjacent to the living room, the galley kitchen is both functional and full of character. Cabinets clad in rich tropical wood house a full suite of appliances, including a microwave, a dishwasher, a blender, and a toaster. You’ll have a choice for your morning brew with both a standard coffee machine and a Nespresso espresso machine. The decorative tilework on the backsplash, featuring a charming rooster motif, adds a vibrant local touch. A window overlooks the dense, green foliage of the garden, providing inspiration as you experiment with island flavors. The kitchen’s practicality is matched by its aesthetic, blending into the villa’s warm, earthy palette. For your convenience, the home is equipped with Wi-Fi throughout, and an iron and ironing board are provided.

While you may choose to dine indoors, the true allure is outside, where multiple settings await. Adjacent to the dining room, a quaint cobblestone terrace features a low, Asian-inspired table, offering a distinctive setting for outdoor meals. Another outdoor dining table for six is positioned next to the living area, promising meals with an uninterrupted ocean view. Anchoring the garden is a one-of-a-kind swimming pool crafted from individually cut slate, spanning 9.8 by 23 feet. Its curved edge and natural stone finish are surrounded by a deck of wood and stone, creating an organic, artistic focal point. Loungers are placed for sunbathing, and the water, though not heated, retains the day’s warmth for a refreshing swim. You’ll find an outside shower for a quick rinse, and a coal barbecue is ready for classic grill nights. A large Buddha statue and potted plants in earthy clay pots adorn the terrace, enhancing the garden. Whether from the poolside, the dining terrace, or the sheltered lounge, the vista unfolds: the verdant Marigot hillsides descend gracefully to the aquamarine expanse of Grand Cul-de-Sac Bay. The offshore island of La Tortue punctuates the horizon. As the day ends, the covered lounge area becomes the premier spot to enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset color the hills. This is a space designed for relaxation in the tranquil, lush landscape.

Kyody’s location in the Marigot hillside offers a prized combination of privacy and accessibility. Perched above the Grand Cul de Sac lagoon and the sea, the villa commands exclusive, sweeping vistas. Secluded amongst lush foliage in one of St. Barts’ more tranquil neighborhoods, it provides quiet. Yet, you’re not isolated. A mere ten-minute stroll downhill brings you to the shores and eateries of Grand Cul-de-Sac Bay, while Marigot Bay is also conveniently close. This proximity means a variety of coastal spots and restaurants are only moments away, eliminating the need for a vehicle for simple excursions. When you do wish to explore, the airport is a 10 to 20-minute drive away, and a standard rental car is perfectly suitable as a 4x4 is not required.
