The Turtle's Song

Perched above Grand-Cul-de-Sac in Marigot, this villa earns its place among Saint-Barthélemy's finest with views that sweep from Turtle Island across the Caribbean in every direction. The infinity pool on the front terrace blurs the line between water and ocean, and the covered outdoor dining and lounge areas mean you'll spend most of your time outside, watching the bay change colour. Seven en-suite bedrooms, each with ocean views and air conditioning, give groups serious breathing room, while on-demand services – private chef, butler, in-villa massage – mean the effort of a trip here quickly dissolves into something much more enjoyable.

Home truths:
* The villa's seven bedrooms are split across two levels – three on the main floor and four below – connected by a lift as well as stairs, so moving between sleeping quarters and the living spaces is straightforward for most guests.
* If you're travelling with little ones, a cot and high chair are available at the villa, and your host can arrange a babysitter on request.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
* 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.
