Description Copper Hour: Au Vent

Perched above Lorient bay in Pointe Milou, this villa is oriented around one of the most arresting views in Saint-Barthélemy – the kind that draws you outside at dawn and keeps you there until the sky turns amber. The infinity pool seems to dissolve into the bay, with the surrounding islands as a backdrop. Both outdoor dining areas earn their keep: one faces the ocean, the other is tucked into a garden of tropical greenery. Four en-suite bedrooms with ocean views, daily housekeeping, and on-request services from a private chef to a yoga teacher mean very little demands your attention beyond the horizon.

Home truths:
* 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.
* The twin beds in the fourth bedroom can be converted into a king-size bed – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that configuration.
* The villa sits across two floors that are internally connected, but the two lower-level bedrooms have direct access to the terrace – a useful route if you're heading to the pool from those rooms.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
