Description Palm Lightscape: Au Vent

Perched in St-Jean with the Caribbean laid out in front of you, this villa is built around that view – the pool terrace, the living room, the bedrooms all face it, so you're rarely without it. A wooden deck wraps the pool in tropical greenery, and a covered pergola lounge and alfresco dining terrace mean evenings can stretch on unhurried. The two buildings give families and groups room to breathe, with a separate bungalow offering a quieter retreat. Furniture by Christian Liaigre keeps the feel refined without being fussy, and daily housekeeping – plus on-request chef, butler, and yoga – means you can truly switch off.

Home truths:
* The villa is spread across two separate buildings, so you'll step outside to move between the main house and the bungalow bedrooms. It's a lovely tropical setting, but worth knowing if you're travelling with anyone who has mobility considerations.
* This home includes a welcome and transfer from St-Jean airport or Gustavia port, and housekeeping and maintenance every day except Sundays and public holidays.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair.
* Towels will be changed every two days, and bed linen every three days here.
* While not all the bathrooms have been photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
