Villa Vague Bleue St Barts

The light in Lurin is different. It’s a clear, golden wash that pours over the hillside each afternoon, setting the stage for the main event. At Vague Bleue, that light finds a contemporary canvas defined by bold color and clean lines, a villa where the deep blue of an infinity pool meets the vibrant orange of an accent wall.

This is a space with an artistic flair, a modern retreat where curated photographs hang beneath vaulted ceilings and every seating area is positioned for the view. Your arrival introduces a rhythm of sun and sea, of sleek indoor comfort flowing onto a teak terrace that seems to hover above the Caribbean. The atmosphere is bright, inviting, and quietly sophisticated, built around that singular, exceptional sunset view over the harbor and the distant hills. Step inside and the living area makes its statement immediately.

A vaulted ceiling with exposed white beams stretches overhead, amplifying the sense of space and drawing your eye to a large, abstract orange painting that serves as the room’s vibrant heart. Two comfortable purple sofas and sleek armchairs create a cozy conversation area, decorated with more modern artwork and unique thatched lampshades that add texture. A fan stirs the air, and the entire room is oriented toward the view through large sliding glass doors. They open completely, erasing the boundary to let the island breeze and the sound of the pool filter become part of the room’s soundtrack. This is the social heart of the home, a place designed for relaxed evenings and shared moments, all under the watchful gaze of that curated art collection. Just behind, the kitchen continues the theme of bold contemporary design with striking teal or blue-green cabinetry. It’s a well-equipped space for preparing anything from a quick breakfast to a full meal, featuring a concrete-topped island breakfast bar with dark brown leather stools.

You’ll find a full suite of appliances including a microwave, a coffee machine and a separate espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. A dedicated Nespresso machine stands ready for your morning ritual. The kitchen’s placement at the back of the living room keeps the chef part of the conversation, and a fan ensures the space stays comfortable as you work. It’s a streamlined, functional area that doesn’t sacrifice style, its colorful cabinetry a private counterpoint to the living room’s orange wall. Outside, the villa’s true character unfolds across multiple levels of decking and greenery. The focal point is the 23 by 16 foot heated infinity pool, its deep blue surface a mesmerizing mirror for the sky. It’s a social hub with built-in steps, surrounded by a rich teak sun deck lined with loungers for all-day sunbathing. Just off the pool area, a convenient half bath means you never have to go far.

Under the covered portion of the front terrace, a wooden dining table seats six for alfresco meals with that uninterrupted ocean panorama. For more private relaxation, a separate area at the back of the house is dedicated to the heated Jacuzzi, nestled within lush tropical vegetation for a secluded soak. Here, you’ll also find a gas barbecue and a second outdoor dining setup, perfect for evening grills under the stars. An outdoor shower sits adjacent to the pool, ideal for a quick rinse. The entire terrace is equipped with WiFi, allowing you to stream music or simply share the view in real time. All three bedrooms at Vague Bleue are king-sized sanctuaries with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with showers, offering flexibility for groups or families. The layout places two on the main pool level and one accessed via a flight of stairs, ensuring privacy. Bedroom 1 is a primary suite that captures the villa’s artistic spirit, often featuring a dark green accent wall among its modern décor.

It looks out to the ocean and comes equipped with a fan, a mosquito net, a safe, and entertainment options including a TV with French satellite and a DVD player. An iPod Dock lets you set a personal soundtrack. Bedroom 2 is its equal in many ways, also offering an ocean view, a king bed, and its own fan, mosquito net, safe, TV, and DVD player for quiet evenings in. These two upper-level rooms share the immediate access to the pool terrace and the main living spaces. Bedroom 3, reached by a flight of stairs, offers a more garden-focused perspective and a sense of quiet remove. It has a king bed, air conditioning, a TV, and a DVD player, with its en-suite shower bathroom providing complete independence. This room opens to its own private terrace area near the Jacuzzi, creating a lovely retreat for those who prefer to be steps away from the soothing hot tub and the fragrant garden surroundings.

The villa’s design cleverly allows this bedroom to be closed off, functioning as a fully independent suite for guests seeking maximum privacy within the shared Lurin luxury villa. Vague Bleue is situated in the quiet, residential hills of Lurin, a location prized for its panoramic vistas and sense of remove while being just a short drive from Gustavia’s restaurants and shops. The airport is roughly 10 to 20 minutes away by car, and while the roads in the area can be winding, a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access.

This 3-bedroom villa represents a mid-range option in the Lurin market, ideal for families with older children or groups of friends who appreciate contemporary design and that iconic St. Barts sunset. For two decades, Premium Island Vacations has specialized in presenting properties such as Vague Bleue, a villa designed around its commanding vista and considered details.

Your stay here is defined by the slow arc of the sun, the deep blue of the pool against the horizon, and the vibrant colors of an island home made for making memories.
