Villa Lazuli St Barts

Lazuli: Lagoon Sanctuary in Grand Cul de Sac

Villa Lazuli looks out over the Grand Cul de Sac lagoon. Its view is a wide, serene expanse of turquoise water, framed by the lush, green vegetation of its own gardens and the natural landscape of the Issayah estate. The villa’s architecture is designed to capture this panorama from nearly every angle, with a multi-level layout that creates layers of privacy while keeping the water in sight.

High, white ceilings are crisscrossed with exposed dark wooden beams, a structural detail that adds rustic warmth to the clean, modern lines. This is a design led by the view, where the outdoors is the constant, quiet focus. This visual connection defines the living spaces. The palette here is a study in calming neutrals: white walls, light beige flooring, and warm wood tones. Textured elements like woven light fixtures and patterned wall panels add depth without clutter. You can enclose the entire space for air-conditioned comfort or open it wide to the island breeze, a flexibility that suits any time of day.

The main area is a long, open-plan room that unites the kitchen, a dining area for eight, and a lounge. Large sliding glass doors and a broad bay window open the room completely to the outdoors, flooding the space with light and framing an uninterrupted vista of the lagoon. For evening entertainment, a large projection screen is set up for movie nights. Adjacent to the sleek, functional kitchen, a distinctive decorative wine cellar provides a curated backdrop. Flowing from the dining area, a second lounge zone offers a change of pace with its greige-toned fabrics and raw wood accents under the high framework of the ceiling.

Four bedrooms provide sanctuary, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The layout is arranged for group harmony and individual privacy. Two bedrooms are positioned side by side on one wing of the villa. These rooms feature king-sized beds and share the same serene, lagoon-facing aspect through their own windows, decorated with earthy-toned textiles and the soft glow of wicker pendant lights. Across the main living area lies a third bedroom, also with a king-sized bed, enjoying similar views and a sense of quiet separation. The primary suite claims its own distinct realm. It occupies a lower level, accessed via a private staircase, which grants it a tangible sense of retreat. One wall is adorned with nature-themed wallpaper or murals, featuring elegant illustrations of colorful birds amidst tropical foliage. The contrast of dark wood beams against the white ceiling is repeated here, and accents of woven materials and subtle metallic finishes complete the elegant, uncluttered design. This suite opens directly onto its own terrace, where sun loungers provide a secluded spot to enjoy the garden access and the prized views of the water.

Outdoors, the 16-meter heated infinity pool is the centerpiece. It runs the entire length of the wooden deck, a long, inviting ribbon of blue that appears to merge with the lagoon beyond. The pool is lined with comfortable sun loungers, and a few driftwood tables are placed nearby for setting down a book or a cool drink. Just off the main deck, a path of stepping stones set into the grass leads to a charming, separate seating nook with armchairs and a coffee table, a private conversation spot surrounded by greenery. The covered terrace, extending directly from the living room, is furnished with a shaded al fresco dining table and additional lounge seating, allowing every meal and moment of relaxation to be accompanied by the view. At the rear of the villa, a lovely patio area with charming vegetation houses a barbecue, offering an alternative spot for casual grilling. The outdoor experience here is about choice: sun or shade, social poolside energy or a quiet corner in the garden.

Your stay includes the use of a communal fitness facility on the estate grounds, a practical amenity for guests wishing to continue their wellness regimen.
