Even on a little island as beautiful as St. Barth, location is a factor to take into consideration. For a picture-perfect villa vacation, consider the 2 bedroom Villa Sasie. Ensconced in the chic village of St. Jean, it treats its guests to stunning views of the Bay and pretty sunsets. A French Caribbean-styled open one-level floor plan, it is air-conditioned throughout and includes living and dining areas, a chef-worthy kitchen, and two en suite bedrooms located in separate, private wings. All rooms have screens and open on to beautifully landscaped stone terraces. Water views abound. For those who must stay connected, Villa Sasie features a fiber optic line, making it ideal for longer stays.

The outdoor living space features a heated infinity pool and an alfresco shower— a nice option for beach goers. Villa Sasie is just a 4-minute walk to the oh-so-popular St. Jean Beach that offers sea-side dining and water sports galore. Guests love the proximity to the village’s shops, restaurants, and bistros, especially those who fancy dancing on the tabletops at the notorious Nikki Beach. The St. Jean Etang Wildlife Refuge is also just a few minutes from the villa. Its wide, mile-long teak boardwalk (one of the island’s best-kept secrets) encircles the refuge and makes for a great walk. Villa Sasie is a terrific choice for families with kids over 5, and its owners offer them a hearty welcome.
