Villa Mirande St Barts

Villa Mirande is especially enchanting in the final hours of daylight. It’s a bright, airy space defined by clean white walls and high ceilings, where exposed dark wood beams trace a traditional St. Barth silhouette against the sky.

The visual vibe is one of crisp modern contrast, energized by vibrant abstract artwork and anchored by dark gray tiled floors that flow toward the view. That view is the anchor. Perched in Pointe Milou, the villa's western orientation perfectly captures evening displays above the waters of Lorient and its surrounding islets, a recurring highlight that sets the pace for each day. This is a place for slow living, where the wide wall of glass in the living room folds away to let the Caribbean breeze sweep through, blurring the line between the cool interior and the sun-drenched terrace. Step inside and you’re met with a fully open-plan great room.

It combines living, dining, and kitchen areas in one convivial space. Large sofas in neutral beige tones, accented with blue and black cushions, face the view. A large TV and Dish network are there for movie nights, and an iPod dock stands ready for your soundtrack. The airy volume above, with its exposed beams, makes the room feel expansive yet intimate. The formal dining space, positioned between the lounge and kitchen, features an elegant glass table surrounded by eight white chairs. It’s an elegant setting for shared meals, with the ocean as your permanent backdrop. Anchoring the rear of the main living space, the kitchen presents a bold, monochromatic design. White lacquered cabinets rise against sleek black granite countertops, and a contemporary curved bar adds a soft architectural detail. It’s fully equipped for preparing anything from a quick breakfast to a celebratory feast, with a microwave, espresso machine, blender, and dishwasher.

You’ll find an extra refrigerator for beverages, an ice maker, and a Nespresso machine for easy mornings. Outside, the terrace is your primary living space. The connection is immediate and total. A path of dark gray tiles draws focus to the 9.8 by 19.7-foot vanishing-edge pool, its reflective surface capturing the sky and creating an illusion of flowing into the distance. Steps lead gently into the water. Comfortable loungers with blue and white striped cushions are arranged for sunbathing and reading, each one a perfect vantage point. The terrace offers two distinct outdoor dining areas. One sits right by the pool, facing the deep blue ocean—an ideal spot for sunset cocktails. The other is situated at the back, surrounded by a lush, refreshing garden, offering a more shaded, intimate alternative. A gas barbecue is on hand for grilling freshly caught seafood, and the entire area is served by WiFi, so you can stream music or simply stay connected.

This outdoor realm is designed for lingering, for conversations that stretch as long as the shadows, and for marveling at the glowing transformation of the sky each evening. The villa’s classic St. Barth layout places two master bedrooms on the main level, flanking the living room. They are equal in stature, both offering the same serene ocean view and a sense of quiet retreat. Bedroom 1 features a queen-size bed and is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and a mosquito net for your comfort. A safe, TV, and DVD player are provided, and its en-suite bathroom includes a shower. Bedroom 2 mirrors this arrangement perfectly, with its own queen bed, ocean view, and the same suite of amenities including air conditioning, fan, mosquito net, safe, TV, and DVD. Its en-suite bathroom also features a shower. These rooms are peaceful sanctuaries, decorated with the same clean aesthetic and occasional bold artwork found in the living areas.

On the lower level, two additional bedrooms offer flexible accommodation, perfect for teenagers, other couples, or friends. Bedroom 3 can be configured with a queen bed or two twin beds and includes air conditioning, a TV, and DVD player. It has an en-suite bathroom with a shower and, like its counterpart downstairs, is noted as being ideal for younger guests. Bedroom 4 provides the same configuration choice between a king-size bed or two twins. It is equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a TV with French satellite, and its own en-suite shower bathroom. Both lower-level bedrooms share access to the beautiful terrace, ensuring everyone feels connected to the outdoors.

Each of the villa’s four bathrooms incorporates unique textural details, like pebble flooring in the showers, adding a subtle, tactile layer to the modern design. Villa Mirande’s location in Pointe Milou is both convenient and deeply relaxing. The villa is situated just uphill from The Christopher hotel, ensuring proximity to premier shores like Lorient Bay, along with St. Jean's boutiques and dining, all only a short drive away. The airport is a 10 to 20-minute drive away, and a standard rental car is suitable for access; a 4x4 is not required.

The villa is well-suited for a family or group of friends, though please note it is not suitable for children under 12. Your four-bedroom villa is equipped with amenities like Wi-Fi throughout, a CD player, and US satellite TV to complement the experience.
