Modern Caribbean architecture near Marigot Beach Find peace at the wonderfully tranquil La Petite Sereine. This luxury St. Barts villa, whose name means “serene” in French, not only has a private location in the exclusive Pointe Milou neighborhood overlooking Lorient Bay and the Atlantic, but thoughtfully appointed minimalist interiors and indulgent service. Visit the five-bedroom vacation rental with a group of friends or family, or keep the views all to yourself and use it for a honeymoon or equally romantic Caribbean escape. Though La Petite Sereine offers the privacy of a villa, its perks are worthy of a five-star resort. Your stay begins with the use of a complimentary rental car and an array of fresh fruit and cheese upon your arrival, and continues with daily housekeeping and nightly turn-down service. The villa has not one, but two expansive terraces with rows of chaise longues and heated infinity pools. After basking in the sun all day, flip on the outdoor sound system and shift to the outdoor kitchen in the courtyard, where you can prepare local seafood on the barbecue and mix drinks at the wet bar. In the evenings, pour a glass from the wine fridge to sip in front of a favorite film or show in the media room. The gracious living areas at La Petite Sereine are located on the upper level and feature exquisite details like white leather sofas and custom-built hardwood cabinets. A sloped roof is a nod to traditional Caribbean architecture, but two living rooms are all modern: the interior one, which has the home entertainment system, can be closed off, while the outer one can be opened to the terrace for a seamless connection to the outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen is a dream for amateur chefs and casual cooks alike, with everything from a juicer to an espresso machine. There are two bedrooms on the upper level of La Petite Sereine and three on the lower level; all have a queen bed, en-suite bathroom, dressing area and ocean views. The upper-level bedrooms open to balconies, while the lower-level suites open to the second pool, large terrace and a sweeping lawn dotted with palm trees. Five of the best beaches on St. Barts are within a 6.8 km drive of the villa, from Marigot and Lorient to Grand Cul-de-Sac, St. Jean Bay and Anse des Cayes. Take an afternoon or evening to browse the shops and try out one of the restaurants in downtown Gustavia, 7.2 km away, or walk the Colombier Beach Trail, 8.4 km away, for some of the island’s most incredible scenery. At the end of your holiday, make the 5 km drive to Gustaf III Airport. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
