Villa Felicita

Villa Felicita, a modern, seven-bedroom masterpiece situated on a lush hillside in Lorient, effortlessly blends opulent materials, state-of-the-art architecture, and expansive ocean views.

Renowned French architect-designer Jean-Michel Wilmotte created the estate’s three-story, multi-pavilion layout, which strikes a unique balance between gallery-caliber elegance and easygoing Caribbean elegance. Villa Felicita is designed for families and friends looking for a luxurious St. Barts getaway with resort-level amenities and complete privacy. It is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and faces the trade winds.

Living & Dining: Modern Peace with the Ocean as the Main Focus

A large, view-forward salon with warm natural textures and soft off-whites is the focal point of Villa Felicita. Wide openings allow the island breeze to flow through, and low benches, deep sofas, and custom armchairs come together for conversation. The twelve-seat indoor dining area is perfect for celebratory dinners after a day on the water or tasting menus hosted by the chef.

Serious cooking is supported by a well-equipped, professional kitchen just as easily as leisurely breakfasts; service moves naturally from preparation to plate to table, keeping the view as a constant companion. A cocooned, plush, and acoustically tuned cinema room transforms movie night into an occasion, while a foosball zone serves as an anchor for playful interludes and the social edge of the great room.

Living Outside: The Horizon’s Infinite Edge

A stunning heated infinity pool fronts the main pavilion and extends the length of the terrace, resembling a blue runway that leads to the sea. The wide deck is lined with loungers with plush cushions for lounging in the sun; palm fronds flicker overhead, and the hills fold down to the shore in a scene that is both calming and cinematic. Twelve stages of lantern-lit, trade wind-cooled meals will be served outdoors. The entire day is gracefully captured on Villa Felicita’s terrace, from stargazing and golden hour toasts to midday page-turners and sunrise swims.

Seven Private Sanctuaries with Views in the Suites

Villa Felicita has seven air-conditioned bedrooms spread over three floors and multiple buildings, each with an en suite bathroom and a unique view of the hillside or ocean. With immaculate linens, spacious wardrobes, and whisper-quiet climate control, the bedding is king or queen throughout. The majority of suites have balconies, terraces, or gardens that open directly to the outside, keeping the island’s beat nearby. The same elegant finishes can be found in the seventh bedroom, which is ideal for staff or a self-sufficient teen and frames a peaceful hill view. An elevator connects levels for graceful, simple movement, which is especially useful for groups of people of different ages.

Entertainment & Wellness: Elevated Routines

Villa Felicita has a dedicated, air-conditioned fitness center with everything you need for real training—cardio, mobility, and strength—so you can move, recover, and repeat without ever leaving your house. This is in addition to the movie theater and swimming pool. Lapse in the infinity edge to cool off, then read a book in a shady spot while the breeze blows through the palm trees.

Design Language: Island’s Soul, Wilmotte’s Accuracy

Perfectly resolved lines, sculptured ceilings that accentuate light and air, and a selection of noble materials—stone, wood, and tactile textiles—that complement rather than overpower the view are all examples of Wilmotte’s hand at work. The end result is a home that feels unquestionably elegant but incredibly livable, tuned to the fundamentals of St. Barts: light, breeze, view, and time.

Location: Quiet with Convenient Access

The island’s main attractions, including beaches, bakeries, boutiques, and Gustavia’s culinary scene, are all within a short, picturesque drive from Villa Felicita, which is situated above Lorient and feels remote when you want peace and quiet. The world returns to palms, pool light, and the slow shimmer of the ocean on the horizon when you go “home.”
