Villa Matajagui St Barts

Matajagui: Contemporary Hillside Retreat in Flamands

Matajagui is a contemporary villa. Its design is a study in deliberate contrast, built on the Flamands hillside with a sharp, modern aesthetic. Dark wood furniture stands boldly against crisp white walls and linens, a theme that runs throughout this two-level home. An unobstructed ocean panorama orients the entire main living floor, a vista so integral to the experience that the infinity pool is designed to merge with the horizon. This is a villa built for the view, with every architectural choice reinforcing that connection.

You enter on the upper level, where the open-plan layout immediately pulls you toward the light. The living area is anchored by plush white leather sofas, a sleek and comfortable contrast to the dark built-in entertainment unit. A vibrant red floor lamp adds a single, striking note of color. Large sliding glass doors run the length of the room, and they don’t just open. They disappear, erasing the boundary between inside and out. With a ceiling fan overhead and a mosquito net available, the room is prepared for island living. The space flows directly into the dining area and kitchen, all sharing one airy, unified volume under a high ceiling.

You'll find an iPod Dock and Apple TV here for your entertainment. At the rear of this level, the kitchen continues the high-contrast palette with sleek dark brown cabinetry and white countertops. It's comprehensively equipped with a microwave, a coffee machine, an espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. The details elevate it: a Nespresso machine, a kettle, and a dedicated wine cellar. The most clever feature is the pass-through window and bar that connects the kitchen directly to the covered terrace, transforming meal service into a simple, elegant gesture.

The outdoor living space is the villa's undeniable centerpiece. The weathered gray wood deck extends from the living room, creating one expansive platform for sun and relaxation. At its heart is the heated infinity pool, measuring thirteen by twenty-six feet, its edge designed to visually spill into the blue of the Flamands Bay below. A modern outdoor shower is integrated into a white wall beside it. The terrace is furnished for every mode of leisure: loungers line the deck for sunbathing, and a black wicker dining set with light gray cushions sits under the covered pergola. This is where you’ll find the woven fiber dining table, accommodating up to six guests for meals with a front-row view. For evening gatherings, a gas barbecue is ready for grilling, allowing you to cook and dine alfresco as the sun sets over the ocean.

Descending the staircase leads you to the villa's private quarters. Both bedrooms are located on this lower level, offering a clear separation between living and sleeping areas that provides a real sense of retreat. They are configured as perfect equals, each a self-contained sanctuary with the same thoughtful amenities. This symmetry makes Matajagui a strong Flamands villa for two couples traveling together or a family with older children. Bedroom 1 is a study in serene contrasts. The focal point is a distinctive four-poster king-sized bed, measuring six and a half feet square, framed in rich dark wood. It faces the ocean view, ensuring the panorama is your first sight each morning. The room is equipped with air conditioning, a mosquito net, and a safe for your valuables. For entertainment, there's a TV and DVD player, complemented by an iPod Dock. The ensuite bathroom features a shower and a vanity of the same dark wood, topped with dual white vessel sinks. Bedroom 2 mirrors this arrangement precisely, offering an identical king-sized four-poster bed facing the same ocean vista. It includes the same suite of amenities: air conditioning, a mosquito net, a safe, a TV, a DVD player, and an iPod Dock. Its ensuite bathroom with a shower also boasts the elegant dark wood vanity with twin sinks.

Beyond the obvious leisure, Matajagui includes a dedicated, well-considered amenity for active guests. The air-conditioned fitness room is a genuine asset, equipped with a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, free weights, dumbbells, and its own TV and DVD player. It’s a private gym with an ocean view.

This facility, alongside the villa's other provisions like Wi-Fi, CD and DVD players, and French and US satellite TV channels, adds a layer of practical luxury. You'll also find an iron and ironing board for convenience. The villa's position in Flamands defines its character. It is situated on the hillside, a short two-minute walk from the sands of Flamands Beach, placing you within easy reach of the sea while offering elevated, sweeping perspectives. The drive from the airport takes between ten and twenty minutes, and a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access. A note on the location: the villa is built above a road crossing, which means some ambient road noise can be present, a practical consideration for light sleepers. The property is not suitable for young children, with a policy welcoming only those aged eight and above, and pets and events are not permitted.
