Description Milou Tide: Au Vent

Nestled above the Caribbean in Pointe Milou, this villa earns its place through a 180° sweep of open ocean that frames almost every room. The pool terrace is where you'll spend most of your time – swimming with the sea ahead of you, then moving to the covered alfresco dining area as the trade winds pick up. Each bedroom has its own ocean outlook, and the lower rooms open directly onto private terraces, so the view follows you from morning to night. Daily housekeeping and a 24/7 concierge keep the logistics painless.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, baby bath, changing table, stair gates, and a baby monitor. You'll need to request these in advance.
* There's a heated outdoor swimming pool here. Pool heating is available between 15th November and 30th April.
* You're in Pointe-Milou, a quiet residential hillside area of St-Barthélemy. You'll want to hire a car to reach Saint-Jean, Gustavia, and the island's beaches.
* Housekeeping is provided daily except on Sundays and public holidays. Towels are swapped every two days and bed linen every three days.
* Also included with your stay is a personalised welcome at St-Jean Airport or Gustavia Port.
