Villa The Loft St Barts

The Loft looks out over Gustavia harbor. Large glass doors frame a panoramic sweep of water, boats, and the distant ocean, creating a continuous visual flow from the interior to the exterior. You’re in the heart of town, yet elevated into a private, panoramic perspective.

This is the defining feature of the villa: an indoor-outdoor experience centered on that harbor vista. The visual character is cosmopolitan and eclectic, where mid-century design lines meet playful, tropical accents under a high, light-colored ceiling. It’s a space built around the light and the view. Step inside and the open-concept layout immediately unfolds.

The living area, with its inviting mix of leather sofas and armchairs, flows directly into the dining and kitchen zones. A distinctive wicker hanging chair adds a note of Caribbean ease, while vibrant red dining chairs pop against a deep blue wall. Natural textures are everywhere, from the warmth of wooden cabinetry to the softness of a cowhide rug. The space feels personal, underscored by decorative touches like a mounted surfboard that hints at island lifestyle. This isn’t a sterile showroom; it’s a stylish apartment with character and a relaxed, playful energy. At the heart of the social space is the well-equipped kitchen. It features a large central island perfect for casual meals or socializing while cooking. The warm brown wooden cabinetry contrasts with sleek white countertops, creating a modern yet welcoming culinary hub. It’s outfitted for both simple meals and entertaining, with an oven, grill, espresso machine, and a full suite of appliances including a refrigerator, separate freezer, ice machine, and wine storage.

A dishwasher and toaster round out the conveniences, making it easy to enjoy meals at home. The kitchen’s open design keeps the cook connected to the living area and the views beyond. Outside, the terrace is the villa’s focal point. An infinity pool with steps appears to spill towards the harbor view, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. This is the place to spend your days, alternating between the water and the comfortable lounge furniture. For alfresco dining, a gas BBQ is ready for grilling, allowing you to enjoy meals with that spectacular backdrop. The terrace is equipped with WiFi, so you can stay connected without ever going inside.

Access to this urban oasis is secure and private via a coded entrance gate, ensuring discretion in the heart of Gustavia. The bedroom suite is a private retreat. It houses a European king bed, often dressed with a vibrant turquoise bedspread that echoes the tropical palette. The room is designed for relaxation and connection to the outdoors, with sliding glass doors opening directly onto a private terrace.

This secluded outdoor space offers its own sea views, creating a perfect morning coffee spot or a quiet evening alcove. The ensuite bathroom merges with the sleeping quarters, emphasizing the suite’s open feel. It’s a space that prioritizes light, privacy, and a direct link to the island atmosphere. The Loft’s location is its other great advantage. You’re right in the middle of Gustavia, with the boutiques, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife just a short stroll away. Yet, once inside the villa, the bustle of town feels wonderfully distant.

The airport is a convenient 10-20 minute drive, and a standard rental car is sufficient for access—no 4x4 is required.
