Villa Neo
Description
Villa Neo, a six-suite, glass-walled showcase perched high on the hillside above St-Jean Beach, is the ideal fusion of modern architecture, state-of-the-art technology, and island convenience.
The house, designed by renowned local architect Patrick Raffeneau, reads like a sculpture in light: expansive glass panes frame expansive views on both sides, while clean lines and organic textures highlight the Caribbean blues. This villa is open, social, and incredibly view-forward, yet it also has peaceful, private areas for retreat.
The horizon welcomes you as soon as you enter the main level. Cushioned sectional seating that encourages lengthy conversations and barefoot lounging anchors a bright open-plan living and dining area that flows into a chef-friendly kitchen. Trade winds, sea light, and that expansive St-Jean vista all blend into the space as soon as the glass is slid away. Beyond, next to the salon, is a special TV room that can be completely closed for late-night or movie screenings. A sleek nightclub with a dancing table transforms evenings into a private fête in a whimsical twist that distinguishes Villa Neo; parties feel natural when the dance floor is at home.
Villa Neo combines hotel-quality comfort with clever, user-friendly technology in six immaculately furnished suites. With a stereo, Apple TV, French and American satellite channels, and iPad-based controls, you can easily adjust the lighting, entertainment, and sound in each bedroom to suit your mood.
The main suite is located on the main level, directly behind the TV lounge, and has all the amenities of a private apartment, including a spa-style bathroom with a bathtub and both indoor and outdoor showers—a popular St-Barts treat—as well as a peaceful sitting area and direct access to the pool. A third suite has the same elegant finishes and partial ocean views, while a second suite on this level opens to the terrace for morning coffee and quick swims.
Reach the upper level, where three more suites continue the villa’s serene, modern language, by climbing the striking glass stairway or taking the elevator straight from the parking lot. The third tops the house with its own dressing room, seating, and bathtub for long, leisurely soaks, while the other two connect (perfect for families with kids or close friends). Every bedroom on the upper floor has access to a private terrace, so evenings end beneath a blanket of stars and mornings start with horizon lines.
Villa Neo really shines when it comes to outdoor living. A large deck with designer loungers that make it dangerously easy to sit around all day encircles a dramatic heated infinity pool that runs the length of the view. A Jacuzzi for twilight soaks and an outdoor bar that keeps the conversation going from golden hour to moonrise are located beneath the pool. With the help of a gas grill and that well-balanced sea breeze, alfresco meals are prepared at the outdoor dining area. When it’s time to unwind, head to the hammam or the tiny gym for a quick workout; since wellness is ingrained in the home, recuperation from boat trips and beach days comes easily.
The entire villa is air-conditioned, a lift connects levels from the parking area, an electronic security gate ensures privacy, and high-speed Wi-Fi makes work check-ins easy (if you must). These practical luxuries make the experience seamless. In order to keep the spaces calm and prepared for the next phase of your day—espresso at dawn, laps before lunch, a nap in the shade, and then sunset cocktails as planes float into St-Jean below—maid service is provided six days a week.
The magic is completed by the location. Villa Neo is close to the famous St-Jean, which has beach clubs, shops, patisseries, and the most picturesque bay on the island, but your hilltop location maintains a tranquility that seems worlds away. Evenings can be as quiet or as social as you like: a chef-hosted feast followed by a private movie in the TV room and a nightcap by the pool, or dinner out in Gustavia.
Villa Neo rents at full occupancy rates during Thanksgiving and December, guaranteeing that the house is reserved for groups seeking the full, first-rate experience that the property was intended to provide.
Villa Neo is St-Barts at its most refined in every way, including architecture, technology, flow, and view: opulent when desired, healing when necessary, and always in sync with the tides.
