St. Barts Home 897864

Given its idyllic location overlooking Gustavia harbor, its stunning contemporary architecture, its breathtaking art collection and its name, you’d be forgiven for thinking Utopic was just a dream. But this beautiful three-bedroom vacation rental on a hillside in Corossol is entirely real—and waiting for your visit with family, friends or a special someone.

You’ll want a four-wheel-drive vehicle to take you up into the hills of St. Barts, but once you arrive at Utopic, an elevator will whisk you from the parking area to the villa’s main level. The property is designed to take full advantage of both the site and the Caribbean sunshine, with holes cut in the deck for palm trees and a row of daybeds facing the heated infinity pool and the ocean below. A covered section of the porch has shaded sitting and dining areas, and a barbecue and wine cellar make preparing chef-worthy meals a snap.

The villa’s sleek modern lines may be a sharp contrast against the island’s naturally rugged rock, but the architecture is designed around the landscape, with a staircase following the line of a rock wall. Glass walls let you open the living room and fully equipped kitchen to the courtyard and oceanfront deck, respectively, and tones of charcoal and wood keep the interiors polished but neutral. But Utopic also has a fun side that pops out in bright cushions, striped pillows and an art collection that includes striking works by acclaimed Dutch photographer Désirée Dolron that recall portraits by the old Flemish masters.

The villa’s three bedrooms epitomize luxury with their contemporary style and private layout. Each has a king bed, en-suite bathroom, ocean views and a terrace, and is set in its own building. Whether you’re on your honeymoon or just a beach holiday, bright spaces with vaulted ceilings, candy-colored accent pieces and incredible artwork make it impossible not to linger in bed.

Begin your journey to this island utopia with a flight into Gustaf III Airport, just over a 2 km drive from the villa. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll have your choice of five beaches within a 3 km drive—all well worth a stroll or swim—and the breathtaking scenery of the Colombier Beach Trail about 2.6 km away. For five-star dinners, world-class shopping and lively nightlife, make the 3.1 km drive into downtown Gustavia.
