St. Barts Home 897904

Let go of your cares at the exquisite Lital. Rendered in glass for a nearly transparent feel, this newly built contemporary villa offers views of the white sands and turquoise waters of Anse des Cayes from nearly every room—and the calming sound of the waves from nearly every seat in the house. Personalized service, chic modern furnishings and seven suite-style bedrooms make this St. Barts vacation rental feel like your own private boutique hotel.

Your stay at Lital begins with a welcome basket filled with cheese, charcuterie, wine and more, and continues with a daily continental breakfast and nightly turn-down service. The villa is laid out around a stunning pool; glass walls mean you can see through the house to the ocean even as you’re taking a swim. Stretch out in one of the lounge chairs on the pool deck, set up a game at the table and chairs or sip a drink at the indoor-outdoor bar. A second deck along the front of the house is lined with glass railings for uninterrupted views of the bay.

Two expansive great rooms use whitewashed, vaulted ceilings, sliding glass walls and polished tile floors to create refined yet airy living spaces. White sofas look fresh and crisp, Møller Model 71 dining chairs with woven seats and angular lounge chairs add a hint of mid-century flair and accents such as turquoise pillows and seashell-framed mirrors speak to the oceanfront setting. Having two sitting and dining areas lets you have one table for the kids and one for the adults, with the option of letting the children watch television while the adults converse in peace—a way to add true luxury to your beach holiday. The fully equipped kitchen facilitates meals with its open air bar and practical island layout, and holds its own in style with glossy white cabinets and slate-toned countertops.

Seven bedrooms, each with a king bed and en-suite bathroom, can accommodate a family with the ease of a hotel and the tranquility of a home. Relive your honeymoon in the master suite, which is set apart in its own pavilion and has an al-fresco shower and private terrace with a sitting area. The other six bedrooms are spread out over two levels of the main house and open to a balcony or terrace.

You’ll need to spend at least a week in the Caribbean to visit all the nearby beaches; Anse des Cayes is less than 1.4 km away, St. Jean Bay, Shell Beach, and Flamand Beach are about 2.7 km away, and Gouverneur Beach is about 5.3 km from the villa. Discover some of the best of the island’s shopping, dining and nightlife in Gustavia, just under 2.9 km from Lital, and some of the best scenery along the Colombier Beach Trail, which begins 3.2 km away. Plan on a 1.4 km drive to Gustaf III Airport at the end of your trip.
