Description Papaya Punch: Au Vent

Perched on the heights of St-Jean, this villa opens directly onto the Caribbean – slide back the living room walls and the ocean becomes part of the room. The jacuzzi terrace faces the bay head-on, and a heated mirror pool sits below on a sun-deck with a gazebo and daybed. Alfresco dining under cover, a glass wine cellar designed for private chef evenings, and a separate pavilion with its own pool mean the villa works as well for groups who want privacy as for those who want to gather. St-Jean beach is just steps away.

Home truths:
* Two of the five bedrooms sit in a separate pavilion away from the main building – ideal for guests who want their own space.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot, high chair, and babysitter on request.
* There's a heated outdoor swimming pool here. Pool heating is available between 15th November and 30th April.
* 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.
