Villa Linda
Description
The island seems to slow down to your pace the morning you get to Villa Linda.
The bay turns from silver to turquoise, trade winds sift through palm fronds, and the first sound you hear is the gentle murmur of water below. This five-bedroom retreat, which is perched above Marigot Bay, one of St. Barths’ most tranquil and picturesque coves, combines modern design with the carefree warmth of Caribbean living. It’s the kind of place where a week is transformed into a series of small rituals, such as sharing a sunset where the sky and sea meet, swimming that turns into a drift, and having coffee on the terrace.
Living in a light-filled space that facilitates easy gathering
The great room opens up in a single, airy sweep as soon as you enter, featuring warm wood finishes, vaulted ceilings, and glass walls that provide a view of the bay from every angle. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle everything from smoothie bowls to chef-prepared dinners, and the sofas are deep and inviting, making them ideal for long, barefoot conversations. Serving is made easy with a pass to the terrace; you’ll find yourself going from inside to outside without noticing the threshold.
A patio that doubles as a second living space
The world expands outside. With lounge chairs for leisurely afternoons and a pergola that provides dappled shade during the hottest hours of the day, the infinity pool seems to reach the horizon. Long, drawn-out alfresco dinners, like those that start with local lobster and end with a starry sky, are welcome here. Golden hour is for a final dip and a first toast as Marigot’s water turns glassy; mornings are for swimming.
Five private little worlds, five suites
Villa Linda, which can accommodate up to ten people, provides sleeping spaces that strike a balance between privacy and connection:
The main level primary suite opens directly onto the pool terrace, allowing you to go from your bed to the bay view in just two steps. With the sun on your shoulders and the sea nearby, taking a shower outside turns morning into a ritual.
There are four guest suites (separate bungalows) with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and balconies or terraces facing the gardens or the bay. Soft whites, crisp linens, colorful island accents, and careful storage to ensure everything has a place set the tone for a laid-back yet elegant look.
Routines are maintained in a private fitness room tucked away in one of the garden pavilions: a cool plunge to follow, a stretch after the beach, or cardio at sunrise.
The true sensation of a stay
At Villa Linda, each day has its own rhythm. A book turns into a shaded nap; swimming turns into a float. While the sky shifts from coral to indigo, someone passes a plate through the kitchen window and someone else sets the table outside. You’re only a short distance from serene swimming pools, picturesque snorkeling locations, and the island’s windy bakeries and cafés when you’re ready to explore—close enough to allow for spontaneity, yet far enough that the villa regains its quiet as soon as you get back.
Customized comfort with Haute Retreats
You shape your time here. Private chef nights, provisioning, in-villa spa treatments, yacht charters, restaurant reservations, and island experiences—from secluded beach picnics to coastal hikes—can all be arranged by concierge services. Do you like a slower tempo? Let the day choose you as you follow the sun across the terrace after waking up to a freshly prepared breakfast.
