Maison Blanc Bleu

This is a super luxurious retreat in one of the best locations in St Barths. Whilst being impeccably finished for the most discerning guest, the house has character and warmth ensuring a vacation here is wonderfully relaxing and restorative. This is one of the TOP villas to rent in the world.

The extensive use of natural materials gives the house a wonderful ambiance. The colours of the house are white and blue. The blue is the ocean and the sky: there are expansive uninterrupted views of the shimmering blue ocean with the islands of Nevis, St Kitts, St Eustache and Saba in the distance. The white is the wood; simple, luxurious and tactile.

The property has a perfect sun profile and wonderful sunset views. In December it is sheltered from the sometimes blustery Trade-Winds. It is a short drive down the hill to Gouverneur Beach. Gouverneur is that Caribbean fantasy beach, clear turquoise water and white sand fringed with palm trees. It’s one of the most beautiful on the island.

The house and garden are private and quiet. Against the backdrop of blue and white there are lush, tropical and fragrant gardens. The house is spacious and calming. The atmosphere is of understated luxury. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax with family and friends.

There are six double suites. The gorgeous ultra-lux master suite is on the first floor with a large wrap around terrace. The terrace is the perfect place for a private drink or to chill with friends. There are five bedroom suites on the main floor. Four are doubles and one is a twin room. All bedrooms face the sea. The layout is to ensure privacy and space for guests. However, for families, we have ensured that three bedrooms are connected to the main house; the first floor master suite, one twin suite and one double suite. There is also a single en-suite room perfect for nannies or staff.

The main space is an open plan living and kitchen area. Built to be cooled naturally by the breeze pull back the sliding doors and enjoy an inside/outside feeling. Or if you wish there is, of course, air-conditioning. The terrace has a 5 metre long table perfect for hosting dinner parties and long lunches. Our favourite part of the terrace is the ultra-comfortable outside living room with a pull down screen for watching movies. There is a separate TV room with a big screen and an Xbox games console.

The property has a large lush garden. There are bananas, limes and avocados. Wander round the garden with a sundowner and enjoy the fragrant flowers and sounds of the tropics. Inspired by travels to Mauritius three of the bedrooms have large outdoor showers.

If you know St Barths you will know that there are some crazy steep driveways. The house is on a  large flat plot with easy access: no crazy hill starts necessary.
