Description Above Colombier: Sous le Vent

Hidden away in Colombier, this architect-designed villa is built around the view – think turquoise Caribbean waters and tree-lined hills stretching to the horizon. The long infinity pool faces that same panorama, shaded by tall palms, with sun loungers and an outdoor shower for unhurried days in the sun. Trade winds drift through the living area, keeping things cool even at midday. Daily housekeeping takes care of the logistics, leaving nothing to do but slow down or explore. You can hike down to Colombier Beach, or hop in the car and head to Gustavia for designer shopping and fine dining.

Home truths:
* Colombier sits on the heights above the coast, so you'll need a car to reach the beaches, restaurants, and shops in Gustavia or St-Jean – we recommend arranging a rental in advance.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair 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.
