Villa Manon St Barts

Villa: Manon

Manon looks out on the ocean. It’s a west-facing view from the hillside of Colombier, a perspective defined by light and horizon. The villa’s entire layout is oriented toward this panorama, where the water meets the sky in a broad, uninterrupted sweep.

You’ll watch the sun track across the sky each day, culminating in the property’s defining feature: exceptional sunset views that paint the evening with color. This visual spectacle is the consistent thread, noted by every source, from the villa’s positioning to the design of its rooms. It’s a private, calm setting at the end of a small road, where the only spectacle is the natural one unfolding over the Caribbean Sea and the distant silhouette of the island of Saba. Inside, the living area is built around that view.

Large glass doors stand open to the terrace, connecting the cool interior tiles with the warm outdoor air. The space is crowned by a high, vaulted ceiling with exposed white wooden beams that amplify the sense of airy volume. Against a backdrop of terracotta flooring, white sofas are piled with vibrant cushions in blue, red, and yellow, creating a cheerful, relaxed focal point. A carved wooden armoire adds a touch of crafted detail, while the room is fully air-conditioned and equipped with a fan for comfort. It’s all set up for easy living, with a Dish Network satellite connection for entertainment. The adjacent indoor dining area offers a comfortable spot for meals, positioned close to the well-equipped kitchen for convenience. That kitchen is both functional and subtly stylish. Light gray cabinetry is topped with a dark, likely granite, countertop, housing a full suite of appliances including a microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and dishwasher.

A unique trio of decorative clocks mounted above the refrigerator adds a personal touch. A US-style bar with six stools invites casual breakfasts or evening drinks, making the space a natural gathering point that still feels connected to the home’s bright, open flow. The many hints of bright wood throughout these living spaces create a consistently warm and comfortable atmosphere. Both bedrooms at this Colombier villa share the prime vista. They open directly onto the terrace, ensuring the ocean is the first and last sight of each day. The bedrooms are configured with a thoughtful asymmetry, offering similar comforts but in uniquely sized spaces.

Bedroom 1 is the more spacious of the two, appointed with a queen-size bed measuring 5.91 by 6.56 feet. Wrought iron bed frames dressed with blue fabrics establish a cozy, refined island aesthetic. The room is fully air-conditioned and protected by a mosquito net, with a safe for valuables and a TV connected to US satellite and Dish Network for private viewing. Its en-suite bathroom introduces a bold, playful character with a distinctive yellow and white checkerboard tile pattern, a vibrant contrast to the serene bedroom palette. Bedroom 2 offers a slightly more intimate queen-size bed, measuring 4.56 by 6.56 feet, yet it is furnished with the same attention to comfort and style. The same wrought iron and blue fabric theme continues here, under the watchful eye of air conditioning and behind a protective mosquito net. It also includes a safe and a TV with US satellite and Dish Network access.

This bedroom’s en-suite bathroom presents a more sophisticated, modern tone with its two-tone light and dark gray tiling, providing a sleek and serene environment. Both rooms are designed as private retreats where you can rest in an exclusive ambience, lulled by the sea air drifting in from the terrace. The outdoor living space is where Manon truly shines, designed as a continuous platform for sun, swimming, and sunset gazing.

At its heart is a heated infinity pool measuring 19.7 by 9.8 feet. Its clever design makes it appear to merge with the sparkling waters of the ocean beyond, a visual trick that enhances the feeling of boundless space. Integrated within or directly adjacent to this pool is a unique circular hot tub, also heated, offering a dedicated spot for relaxation at any hour. Blue fabric awnings provide patches of shade on the sunny terrace, where deckchairs are arranged for reading and sunbathing sessions right by the water’s edge. An outdoor lounge area furnished for comfort faces the view, creating the perfect place to unwind with a book or a cocktail. Under the covered portion of the terrace, an al fresco dining area invites meals in the mild Caribbean air. For culinary adventures, a gas barbecue is ready for grilling. The terrace is also equipped with an outdoor shower, ideal for a refreshing rinse after a swim or a day at the beach.

This blend of water, lounge, and dining spaces, all oriented toward the horizon, makes the exterior the villa’s true living room. Manon’s location in Colombier offers a balanced St. Barts experience. It’s a peaceful hillside retreat, yet Gustaf III Airport is only a 10 to 20-minute drive away, and a standard rental car is sufficient for access; a 4x4 is not required. This places you within easy reach of the island’s famous beaches, like nearby Colombier Beach, and the boutiques and restaurants of Gustavia. The villa itself is equipped for a carefree stay, with amenities including Wi-Fi throughout, a DVD player, a CD player, a VCR, and an iron and ironing board for convenience. As a two-bedroom villa in Colombier, Manon occupies a sweet spot in the market for St. Barts luxury villas. It’s a property that understands its strengths: unbroken ocean views, a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and those legendary sunsets.

It’s a strong option for two couples traveling together or a small family with children over the age of nine, offering privacy, comfort, and a spectacular natural setting. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected guests with properties that capture the essence of their destination, and Manon, with its bright, airy character and focus on the western horizon, is a compelling example.
