Description The Escape Artist: Sous le Vent

Sitting directly on Flamands beach, this single-storey villa puts the Caribbean just a few steps from your living room – literally open onto the sand. Trade winds drift through the vaulted interior, while the covered front terrace seats up to ten for long, unhurried lunches with the ocean straight ahead. Palm trees shade the deck, a hammock hangs to one side, and sun loungers face the water. Both bedrooms open onto the rear garden terrace, making the whole villa feel wrapped in the outdoors. Daily housekeeping and a full concierge service mean there's very little standing between you and a perfect day on the beach.

Home truths:
* Both king-size beds can be converted into twin beds – let your host know before arrival if you'd prefer that configuration.
* You'll need to contact the villa manager at least two days before you arrive to confirm your flight details and arrange check-in.
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* 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.
