Villa La Petite Sereine St Barts

La Petite Sereine is a study in layered light. Crisp white walls and dark structural lines carve a contemporary silhouette into the Pointe Milou hillside, a tiered sanctuary where every level opens to its own horizon. You step into an atmosphere of expansive, quiet luxury, defined by the seamless slide of glass and the ever-present shimmer of the Atlantic.

Here, the architecture frames a daily spectacle, with westerly orientation ensuring those exceptional sunset views are the villa’s defining rhythm. This is a home built for the slow savoring of space and sky. That connection is immediate in the large, central living space. Supple white-leather sofas anchor a room designed for choice. You can retreat into the interior lounge, closing it off for a cinematic experience with Dish Network, Apple TV, and a Sonos-controlled video library, all managed from an iPad. Or, you can push back the expansive glass doors to merge with the exterior living area, where the conversation effortlessly flows toward the terrace and the endless blue. Geometric ceiling details draw the eye upward, while custom-built hardwood cabinets conceal the technology when not in use. Adjacent, the chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully set apart for efficiency. It’s equipped with every imaginable convenience: a microwave, espresso machine, blender, and dishwasher, alongside a dedicated wine cellar.

Whether preparing coffee or a catered feast, the space works unobtrusively, allowing the view to remain the focal point. Outside, the villa unfolds across multiple terraces, each with its own character and heated pool. The upper level presents a stone-tile terrace furnished with chaises and umbrellas, centered on a 13.1 by 62.3 foot heated infinity pool that seems to pour into the ocean vista. This is the gathering place for sunset. Flanking this pool, two symmetrical stone staircases, a noted ‘Great Gatsby’ touch, descend to the lower level. Here, a larger, mirroring terrace and pool await, offering a more secluded sun-drenched retreat. Steps lead further down to a broad, sweeping plush grass lawn that stretches toward the palm-fringed edge. For alternative dining, a rear courtyard features a top-of-the-line gas barbecue, a wet bar, and seating for eight or more, complete with an outdoor shower and sound system. You’re never far from water, Wi-Fi, or wonder.

The five bedrooms are exercises in nearly identical, superlative comfort, each with an ensuite bathroom featuring dual vanities and a rain-head shower. Two reside on the upper floor. Bedroom 1 offers a queen bed facing the ocean, equipped with air conditioning, a mosquito net, and a safe. Bedroom 2 mirrors this serene setup with its own queen bed and ocean view, plus air conditioning and US satellite access. The lower level, accessed by those dramatic staircases, houses three more suites. Bedroom 3 is on the ground floor, opening directly to a terrace with pool access and sunbeds; it includes a queen bed, ocean view, TV, and air conditioning. Bedroom 4 shares this prime lower-terrace access and connects directly to Bedroom 5, a configuration suited for a family or close friends. Both feature queen beds, TVs, and ocean views, with Bedroom 5 overlooking the terrace itself. Each room is a cool, private haven with custom closets and hidden HDTVs, ensuring rest is as luxurious as the living.

Located in the exclusive enclave of Pointe Milou, La Petite Sereine places you about 10 to 20 minutes from the airport, with no 4x4 required for access. This five-bedroom villa stands out among St. Barts luxury villas for its dual-pool design and panoramic western exposure. It provides all the facilities for seamless living: dedicated Wi-Fi, US satellite TV, an iron, and a separate office room for when you need to connect. This contemporary retreat is designed with architecture that yields to the horizon, offering a vantage point from which to witness the day's end in a spectacular wash of color. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected guests with properties that define island living, and La Petite Sereine is a compelling example.
