Description Rum & Rose: Au Vent

Perched above the bay of Marigot with the Caribbean stretching out ahead, this villa is designed to keep you firmly focused on the horizon. The main living room opens directly onto a heated pool that spans the full width of the house, the water and sea merging into one continuous blue view. Covered alfresco dining beneath the terrace catches the trade winds at their best, while a lower-level lounge, cinema room, and fitness room mean there's no shortage of ways to spend an evening. Works of art by Zaza Noah run through the interiors, and a concierge team meets you at arrival – then stays on call for everything else.

Home truths:
* The villa is built across two levels with the main living areas, dining room, and main pool on the upper level, and two bedrooms plus a covered terrace on the lower level – you'll be moving between floors regularly during your stay.
* Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.
* 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.
* There's a heated outdoor swimming pool here. Pool heating is available between 15th November and 30th April.
