Villa Pélican St Barts

Pélican: Modern Horizon Villa in Anse des Lezards

Light pours in from every angle. It catches the white vaulted ceiling with its exposed beams, spills across light gray tiles, and warms the wooden dining table. Pélican is bright and airy, a modern villa where the crisp interior palette is energized by vibrant textile accents in navy, teal, and mustard yellow.

The entire space feels drawn outward, focused on the long infinity pool that visually merges with the expansive ocean horizon. Here in Anse des Lézards, the view is the anchor, and the villa’s clean-lined architecture is designed to frame it perfectly. The living area sets the tone with its spacious, open layout. A unique chandelier featuring cascading black cords and industrial-style pendants hangs as a sculptural centerpiece, while a charming round window adds an unexpected architectural detail. Spanning the entire wall, the glass doors open fully, merging the interior with the terrace and the view beyond. Pélican delivers a specific, modern charm. It’s the clarity of the white walls against the wood, the pop of a turquoise cushion, and the long, dark line of the pool pointing toward the endless blue. It’s a bright, airy environment where the architecture steps back to let the view and the light take center stage.

The four bedrooms are configured across two levels, offering both shared views and private retreats. The two primary bedrooms are located on the upper level, each commanding a direct ocean vista. Bedroom 1 features a queen-size bed (5.9 by 6.56 feet) framed by a warm wooden headboard, with sliding doors that connect you to the sea breeze. It’s equipped with air conditioning, a safe, and a TV offering Dish, Apple TV, Primevidéo, and Netflix via French and US satellites. Its en-suite bathroom introduces a textural element with a feature wall and dual white vessel sinks set on a natural wood vanity. Bedroom 2 mirrors this serene setup with its own queen bed and full suite of amenities, including the same premium entertainment options and an ocean-facing aspect. Down on the lower level, Bedrooms 3 and 4 offer a different, more grounded privacy. Each queen-bedded room opens to a small, enclosed garden, creating a cozy, secluded feel. They are similarly well-appointed with air conditioning, safes, and TVs with full satellite and streaming capabilities, and each has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. These rooms provide a quiet haven, suited for guests seeking a moment of retreat or for younger members of the family. Floating wooden desks in some rooms add a functional, modern touch. This four-bedroom villa, with its four en-suite bathrooms, is configured for a large family or a group of friends seeking a contemporary escape.

Large, comfortable sofas dressed in colorful cushions face the view, and a Sonos sound system is ready to fill the space. It’s a room designed for lingering conversation, with French and US satellite channels, Dish Network, and Canal+ available on the TV, and a ceiling fan stirring the ocean-scented air. Adjacent, the kitchen continues the theme of modern simplicity with dark gray countertops and dark wood cabinetry providing a striking contrast to the prevailing white. It’s fully equipped for preparing anything from a quick breakfast to a celebratory meal, featuring a microwave, a coffee machine and an espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. A breakfast bar offers casual seating, and the same clean sightlines to the terrace and the water beyond make even washing up a pleasant task. The indoor dining area, with its warm wood table and woven chairs, sits under the vaulted ceiling, bathed in natural light throughout the day.

Outside, the terrace is your true living room. Built-in, cushioned seating invites long, lazy afternoons, and the gas barbecue stands ready for evening grills. The undeniable focal point is the 16.4 by 29.5-foot rectangular infinity pool. With its dark gray concrete edge, it stretches parallel to the ocean vista, creating a powerful visual extension toward the horizon. Lying on a lounge chair at its edge, you’re lulled by the gentle melody of the waves below. This is the villa’s stage for the day’s main event: watching the sky ignite with color as the sun dips into the Caribbean Sea. You’ll find your gaze constantly pulled to that seamless blue meeting point, especially as the day softens into exceptional sunset views.

The villa’s modern design is matched by its practical location in Anse des Lézards, just a 10 to 20-minute drive from the airport, and a standard rental car is perfectly suitable for access. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has matched guests with properties that capture the true spirit of their location, and Pélican in Anse des Lézards is a compelling example of modern Caribbean living, designed for days that begin and end with the horizon.
