Villa Larimar St Barts

Larimar: Contemporary Lagoon Retreat in Grand Cul de Sac

Villa Larimar is situated within the private Issayah domaine in Grand Cul de Sac, an area known for its calm, crystalline lagoon. You enter the estate through a notable golden gate, setting the tone for the exclusive experience within. The villa’s position overlooks the lagoon, providing a serene, postcard view that is active yet peaceful. You can often spot sea turtles swimming in the protected waters.

From the bedrooms, you step into the villa’s cohesive living heart. The main pavilion is defined by a high, warm-toned wooden ceiling with exposed beams, creating a voluminous and inviting atmosphere. This open-plan space cleverly combines the kitchen, a formal indoor dining area, and a comfortable TV lounge into one flowing area. You can air-condition the entire space or throw open the large, retractable glass walls to the breeze, instantly merging indoors with out. The flow is a key feature, as the interior space extends directly into the covered outdoor lounge. This covered terrace, with its vaulted ceiling supported by rich brown wooden beams, is an all-weather sanctuary. The transition from the indoor living room to this shaded outdoor room is effortless, reinforcing the villa’s design philosophy of blending environments. It is a natural gathering spot that remains usable whether under the bright sun or during a brief tropical shower.

Villa Larimar gives you four bedrooms. Every bedroom is configured as a master suite, complete with a private bathroom and featuring a king-size bed. You’ll find three of these suites on the main level, arranged for privacy with direct access to the outdoors. The fourth bedroom sits upstairs, offering a private balcony for elevated, panoramic moments. This layout makes the villa a natural fit for two families or a group of friends seeking both shared space and personal retreats. Your primary suite is a study in textured tranquility. It’s defined by a striking accent wall, which in visual analysis appears as patterned blue and white wallpaper or rich dark wood paneling, adding a layer of curated depth to the room. A vibrant, colorful throw blanket drapes across the crisp white linens on the king-size bed, providing a single bold note against the neutral palette. You have direct access to the terrace from here, and your ensuite bathroom is a highlight, featuring a dual vanity and a distinctive tropical leaf-patterned wall that brings the garden indoors. One of the four bathrooms is noted to include an additional outdoor shower, offering a private, sun-drenched rinse. The second and third main-level bedrooms mirror this commitment to comfort and style. Each provides a king-size bed dressed in clean, white linens, often accented with a colorful throw for a touch of personality. These rooms benefit from the same thoughtful design touches, whether it’s a textured stone accent wall or the warm glow from unique golden pendant lights. Large windows or bay windows frame views of the lush gardens or the lagoon, flooding the spaces with natural light. Their ensuite bathrooms continue the theme of refined materials, with clean lines and quality fixtures. Upstairs, the fourth bedroom claims its own domain. This king-bedded suite enjoys a more secluded atmosphere, separated from the main living flow. Its private balcony is the key feature, a front-row perch for soaking in the vast lagoon vista that stretches out from Grand Cul de Sac. The decor here aligns with the villa’s overall aesthetic, blending warm wood tones with soft textiles. Having its own full ensuite bathroom ensures complete autonomy, making this room ideal for a couple desiring a bit more separation or for guests who appreciate a vantage point.

Designed as both a stylish and functional centerpiece, the kitchen features an expansive island incorporating a breakfast bar, perfect for relaxed gatherings. It features a blend of warm wood cabinetry and sleek black units with golden hardware, equipped with a wine fridge for easy entertaining. The living space offers deep charcoal-gray sofas and plush bench seating, establishing an inviting nook for cinema evenings on the large screen. The room is punctuated by vibrant, large-scale artwork and decorative panels, including eye-catching yellow pieces with palm or elephant motifs. A dining table for ten stands ready for more formal indoor meals, its setting reflecting the refined yet relaxed vibe. Out here, you’ll find another plush lounge area, perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying cocktails in a very private atmosphere. Just beside it, an al fresco dining table seats ten for meals beneath the elegant wooden structure.

Beyond the covered area lies the villa’s focal point: a broad, sun-drenched terrace commanded by a 16-meter heated infinity pool. This long, elegant pool runs along the full facade of the villa, its vanishing edge creating the illusion that the turquoise water spills directly into the Grand Cul de Sac lagoon. Sun loungers are lined up along its length, offering perfect perches for all-day sunbathing with that uninterrupted view. The pool is heated, extending your swimming comfort into the cooler evening hours. This expansive deck is where you’ll spend hours watching the lagoon’s colors shift from bright daytime turquoise to the softer pastel tones of dusk. The terrace is also home to the property’s most distinctive artistic feature: a magnificent arch sculpted from amber shards. This striking piece stands proudly to the side, its warm, translucent colors reflected in the pool’s surface, creating a captivating play of light and form. It is a unique focal point that adds a layer of sophistication and artistry to the outdoor space. For more secluded moments, a stone pathway meanders through the lush, tropical gardens planted with palm trees. This path leads you to charming, hidden seating areas furnished with simple driftwood benches, offering a quiet cocoon surrounded by greenery.

As part of the Issayah domaine, your stay at Larimar includes access to a shared fitness room, providing a convenient option for maintaining your routine.

The location is both convenient and tranquil, approximately a 10 to 20-minute drive from the airport, and you won’t require a 4x4 vehicle for access. Grand Cul de Sac itself offers a handful of excellent beachfront restaurants and is a popular spot for kite surfing and paddleboarding, giving you options for casual lunches and water activities right on your doorstep. To accommodate bigger parties, the villa offers a special benefit. It is available for combined rental with the adjacent estates known as Lazuli, Quartz, and Tourmaline.
