Villa Val André St Barts

The feeling is one of immediate arrival. You’re not just near the beach; you’re of it. From the villa's terrace, an immaculate lawn sweeps directly to a white perimeter fence marking the shoreline, where the vastness of St. Jean Bay unfolds before you. This is the defining character of Val André. It’s a rare, direct connection to sand and sea, a place where the sound of waves breaking on the reef is your constant soundtrack and the ocean breeze is your natural air conditioning.

Design & Ambiance The atmosphere is easygoing and unpretentious, focused entirely on that coveted, seamless indoor-outdoor flow towards the water. The living area, cooled by a ceiling fan, is a simple, open space designed for retreat from the midday sun without ever losing sight of the blue horizon. Full-height glass doors provide seamless access to the terrace, garden, and ocean vista, effortlessly merging the interior with the landscape. Decor is contemporary with a subtle colonial touch, comfortable and unfussy, ensuring nothing distracts from the panorama.

Accommodations Housed within the main pavilion and linked to the living space, each bedroom is thoughtfully positioned to frame the coveted ocean panorama. The primary suite, Bedroom 1, is configured with a generous king-size bed. It’s equipped with air conditioning, a fan, a mosquito net, and a safe for your valuables. Its ensuite bathroom features a shower. While specific visual details of a private terrace are noted in supplier narratives, the room’s prime asset is its sweeping vista over St. Jean Bay, a scene that defines your stay. Bedroom 2 offers flexible sleeping arrangements with either a queen bed or two twins, suiting friends or older children. It also enjoys air conditioning and an ensuite bathroom with a shower. This ground-floor room benefits from a semi-private terrace that opens directly onto the lawn, placing you just steps from the ocean’s edge the moment you wake. Each room is designed for comfort and simplicity, ensuring the focus remains on the shared experience and the incredible location.

Shared Spaces You’ll spend most of your time facing that view. Just off the living area, the kitchen is convenient and fully equipped for preparing anything from a quick breakfast to a full meal, featuring a microwave, a dishwasher, a blender, and both an espresso machine and a Nespresso for your caffeine needs. It’s all open to the view, so you’re never isolated from your party or the scenery. For indoor dining, there’s a table for four, but you’ll likely gravitate outside. Your stay is supported by modern conveniences including Wi-Fi, TV with US satellite and DVD player, and even a fax machine.

Outdoor Amenities The outdoor space is where Val André truly lives. A small terrace opens directly onto the grass and down to the ocean, serving as your main stage. Here, a larger table for six invites long, sun-drenched lunches or dinners under the stars. Chaises on the lawn itself beckon you to grab sunscreen and a book and spend an entire afternoon listening to the wind in the palms. There’s a coal barbecue for grilling fresh catches, and the property offers a unique two-mile jogging tour right on its grounds. The absence of a private pool is hardly noticed; your front yard is one of the world’s most famous beaches. Direct beach access means you can stroll down to the sand of St. Jean in under two minutes, or simply enjoy the privileged, front-row perspective from your own secluded patch of grass.

Recreational Features A notable and distinctive amenity is the private, communal tennis court located mere paces from your door, ideal for an invigorating morning game.

Your Gateway to Island Living Val André’s position at the far end of St. Jean beach is its greatest luxury. You reside within a discreet, gated enclave that masterfully blends easy access with a profound sense of privacy. The bustle of St. Jean’s shops and restaurants is only a short drive or a pleasant walk away, yet you return to a private sanctuary. The airport is a convenient 10 to 20-minute transfer, and a standard car is perfectly suitable for access. Please note, to maintain the tranquil atmosphere, this villa is reserved for guests aged 16 and over, and pets are not authorized. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has specialized in connecting travelers with authentic island experiences. Val André represents the essence of a St. Barts luxury villa for beach purists—a home where the line between villa and vista disappears, offering a straightforward, captivating connection to the Caribbean. It’s a place you gaze at from the water and wish for, and for a few fortunate weeks, it can be yours.
