Villa Coco Rock

In Petit-Cul-de-Sac, Villa Coco Rock is a hillside retreat that resembles a secluded little village nestled amidst lush vegetation.

This elegant St. Barths retreat, surrounded by lush vegetation, soft lawns, and warm natural wood tones, is ideal for visitors seeking privacy, space, and a tranquil island rhythm without sacrificing the convenience of being near the coast. Villa Coco Rock, which is spread across four separate bungalows and several floors, offers that unique combination of privacy and community that makes group travel seem effortless. It is unique among St Barts villas because of its pavilion-style layout, which allows you to enjoy group dinners and pool days while retreating to your own bungalow suite for privacy.

It feels like you’ve already entered vacation mode when you arrive at the property. Steps lead down through tropical landscaping to the various bungalows from the parking area, which can hold up to seven cars. The villa’s layout is deliberate; the areas are connected but never crowded, and the pathways—stone steps, lawns, and patches of greenery—between them give it an organic, living feel. Moving from terrace to terrace and finding little nooks for coffee, reading, or sunset drinks is how this home is meant to be experienced.

The social center of the villa is located in the main bungalow. Whether you’re hiring a private chef or making informal breakfasts, a well-equipped kitchen makes cooking for a group truly feasible. A large table that can accommodate up to eighteen people is the focal point of an outdoor dining area just outside, making it ideal for late-night celebratory dinners.

An air-conditioned TV room is perfect for movie nights and peaceful relaxation when you want to cool off indoors, especially after a day in the sun. This main bungalow is particularly handy because the master bedroom is located there as well. It has a private terrace with a stunning view of the ocean and an en suite bathroom, making it the perfect place for coffee in the morning or a nightcap when the stars come out.

The days unfold organically in the bungalow with the pool terrace. With its edge blending in with the horizon, a heated infinity pool faces the ocean. Daybeds and loungers are positioned for sun and shade around it, encouraging extended periods of inactivity.

An outdoor living room beneath a gazebo creates a breezy, protected lounge area with soft couches, cushions, wicker, and wood textures that contribute to the overall feeling of contented relaxation. Even in the warmest months, the trade winds keep the air comfortable while the sun filters through the slats, creating shifting patterns across the terrace. It’s convenient to rinse off in between swims, beach excursions, and poolside afternoons thanks to a nearby outdoor shower.

Up to twelve people can stay in Villa Coco Rock’s six exquisite air-conditioned bedrooms, each of which is a private suite with a king-size bed and a bathroom. You’re never far from that feeling of place because each room opens to a view of the surrounding hills or the ocean. A daybed on the private terrace of one bedroom is a lovely feature for peaceful reading in the breeze or afternoon naps. Families and couples can share the villa without feeling crowded because the bedrooms are spread across different bungalows, and children can sleep while adults stay for dinner without worrying about noise seeping through the thin walls.

Villa Coco Rock’s location is ideal for discovering St. Barths’ more tranquil, natural side. Anse de Toiny, renowned for its wild beauty and surf-watching energy, is also close by, as is Petit-Cul-de-Sac beach for calm water and leisurely beach time. The lagoon in Grand Cul-de-Sac, which offers water sports and snorkeling, is usually accessible by car, and St-Jean and Gustavia are both easily accessible if you’re looking for shops, eateries, and harbor life.

The logistics of arrival are simple. Depending on traffic, the drive to the island’s tiny airport in St-Jean (SBH) usually takes 20 to 25 minutes. The ferry harbor in Gustavia is typically within a comparable range. As you approach hillside neighborhoods like Petit-Cul-de-Sac, the roads are paved but narrow and winding.

The last 1-2 kilometers frequently feature tighter turns and gentle climbs, so a small automatic rental car is ideal. If you would rather not drive, your concierge can set up transfers. Because of the villa’s multi-bungalow design, stairs are a feature of the experience; they are tastefully incorporated into the landscaping, but visitors with limited mobility should be aware of this.

In a quiet area of Petit-Cul-de-Sac close to both serene beaches and dramatic coastline, Villa Coco Rock stands out among St Barts villas thanks to its four-bungalow design, six ensuite king suites, a heated ocean-view infinity pool terrace with gazebo lounge, and a rare dining setup for up to eighteen.

A stay here is a perfect combination of three experiences. Take it slow and local one day: swim in Petit-Cul-de-Sac in the morning, eat lunch at the villa, and spend the afternoon by the heated infinity pool beneath the gazebo. On a different day, go snorkeling or paddleboarding in the Grand Cul-de-Sac lagoon, then come back for drinks on the pool deck as the hills behind you turn gold. A third choice is a picturesque coastline day: drive to Anse de Toiny to take in the dramatic shoreline and waves, then return to Villa Coco Rock for an outdoor shower, a movie night in the air-conditioned TV room, and a late dinner at the large table outside under the stars.
