Villa Prana

Directly on the golden sands of Anse des Cayes in St-Barths, Villa Prana offers a front-row seat to the Caribbean’s constantly shifting blues, where sunrises glow into mornings and trade winds keep everything light and fresh.

As soon as you enter, the horizon follows: an open-plan living room with a mansard ceiling, cozy wooden coffee table, and sofas and armchairs, while the ocean fills the frame outside. The purpose of this house is to exhale.

Meals at the dining table feel relaxed and easy because of the breezes that flow through the large openings that separate the private patio on one side from the sea-view terrace on the other. With its high-quality appliances and spacious prep areas, the kitchen serves as the focal point of the room, beckoning long, conversational dinners or casual breakfasts before the beach. With the sizzle of fresh fish, a squeeze of lime, and bare feet on sun-warmed stone, a gas barbecue outdoors adds that distinctive holiday flavor.

You can see why Villa Prana is the most popular name for a genuinely beachfront stay as soon as you step onto the terrace. Chic sun loungers line the deck, inviting a leisurely hour with a book or an afternoon nap in between swims.

A gorgeous heated pool reflects the color of the bay directly beyond. Anse des Cayes itself is just a few steps away, with more loungers placed directly on the sand for you to stay close to the shore and observe pelicans skimming the water and tiny islands dotted along the horizon. The quiet of the waves, the gentle salt in the air, and the only thing on the agenda other than what feels good next are all elements of this scene that rewire the nervous system.

Families and friends will find comfort and seclusion in Villa Prana’s three tranquil bedrooms, each with an attached bathroom. One suite opens to the peaceful patio for peaceful mornings with coffee and birdsong, while the other suite faces the ocean for a wake-up call of unfiltered light. Both suites have king-size beds covered in soft textiles and calming color schemes.

The lower level third bedroom has adjustable twin beds that can be made into king beds, making it perfect for kids, teens, or friends staying together. The bathroom also has a well-thought-out design with high-quality fixtures and a smooth flow. Natural wood, soft cushions, and textiles that complement the exterior colors without overpowering them are just a few of the tactile elements that enhance the stay.

The villa is ingrained with a focus on wellness. With a treadmill, yoga mats, free weights, and a bicycle, the dedicated fitness room makes routines easy. Get up early for a quick workout before the beach or unwind after a day of island exploration. The pool terrace is the center of the house when you’re ready to relax once more. It’s a private haven of shade and sunlight where you can enjoy apéritifs at sunset and feel as close to the stars as you can.

For bigger gatherings, Villa Prana can be combined with Green Heart, its next-door neighbor, to create a private six-bedroom compound that keeps everyone together while still allowing for plenty of space. With the beach—and that limitless horizon—shared by all, it’s a flexible arrangement for trips involving multiple generations, milestone celebrations, or two families traveling together. The villa’s layout and location make logistics delightfully simple, whether you’re organizing a retreat for adults only or a school vacation. The pool is just a short distance away, the sea is your backyard, and every gathering naturally revolves around delicious food, easy laughter, and the sound of waves.

Villa Prana is unique not only because of its features (three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a fitness center, a heated pool, and direct beach access), but also because of the way those features work together to create a subtly opulent way of life. Every morning begins with a barefoot walk along Anse des Cayes and a dip. A lengthy lunch from the grill breaks up the afternoons that stretch between the pool and the sea.

With the breeze blowing softly through the living areas and the ocean keeping time just beyond the deck, evenings drift into candlelit dinners outside. Here, the name really does describe Villa Prana: vital energy manifested—a place that reconnects, restores, and reminds you why the Caribbean is unmatched.

Activities nearby include hiking to the untamed, picture-perfect sands of Colombier Beach, surfing the gentle breaks at Anse des Cayes, boutique shopping, and sunset dining in Gustavia’s harbor.
