Villa Star

Perched on the Camaruche hillside, where the sea appears to change color every hour and the trade winds arrive as a welcome ritual, Villa Star rises subtly above Lorient Bay.

The view is cinematic from this angle, with neighboring islands etched along the horizon and Lorient’s curve of white sand below. At the end of the day, the sky creates a sunset that seems to be tailored just for you. The interiors tend toward creamy whites and organic textures that complement the island’s color scheme, while the architecture is sleek and contemporary, allowing light and water to take center stage. It is a house that radiates tranquility as soon as you walk in, a haven designed for six visitors who desire seclusion, closeness, and the gentle hum of the Caribbean at all times.

The air-conditioned great room frames the bay like a living artwork, and floor-to-ceiling openings draw you toward the terrace as soon as you enter. Modern lighting warms the evenings without overpowering the stars, while high ceilings and elegant, driftwood-inspired details keep the room airy and bright. Every gathering, from breakfast with the first light on the water to a late supper after a beach day, has a horizon line because the dining table is long and faces a wide aperture to the sea.

The kitchen, on the other hand, is spotless and easy to use. It has contemporary appliances and is set up so that, when you want the space to feel like a gallery, the cookline can be hidden behind crisp white panels. Before doors slide open and the terrace takes over, a laid-back breakfast bar serves as the house’s natural gathering spot where people gather to plan the day over espresso.

Villa Star truly lives up to its name outside. Mirroring passing clouds and, in the evening, the golds and magentas of St. Barnts’ renowned sunsets, the heated infinity pool creates a clear boundary between deck and sky. One side of the terrace extends into a lounger-equipped sun deck, while the other side softens into a patch of grass that provides cool relief for bare feet.

A pergola creates a shaded salon that blocks out the intense Caribbean sun, making it the perfect place to read, chat, and enjoy the simple pleasure of watching sails sail across the channel. The entire level feels like a single, spacious room suspended above the sea as breezes flow through the outdoor living area that is adjacent to the dining area and thread the palms.

The layout of the three air-conditioned suites on two levels prioritizes privacy and view. Mornings start with sky and water before the world awakens because the main bedroom is on the same floor as the living areas and opens directly to the terrace. Its spacious and calm ensuite features a double vanity and a walk-in shower with cool, tactile finishes.

Guests have their own section of the island with two more suites downstairs that open onto a private lower terrace. With a king bed, desk niche, HDTV, and private bathroom, each guest can comfortably settle in. Even when the pool is alluring, you’ll actually look forward to going to the bedrooms because of their calming color scheme, plush linens, and continuous connection to the outside world.

Staying at Villa Star allows you to feel worlds away while still being close to the best of St-Barths. With the island’s renowned surf break just beyond, the villa’s hillside location puts you close to Lorient’s markets, boulangerie, and serene swimming cove. The terrace turns into your personal amphitheater for the nightly light show, and St Jean, with its shops and beach clubs, is just a short drive away when the mood changes from solitude to scene. The privacy that makes this perch so unique can be preserved when Villa Star is combined with nearby Villa Avenstar below for larger gatherings. This allows for a smooth transition to an eight-bedroom private compound.

The rhythm the house creates—the way the living room breathes with the terrace, how meals flow naturally toward the view, how twilight gathers around the heated pool and everything slows down—is what stays with you after a week here. Villa Star gives you both design and ease, and then lets the island take care of the rest.

Nearby activities include hiking the coastal path to Colombier Beach for a quiet morning and crystal-clear water, browsing the boutiques and stopping for a barefoot lunch in St Jean before a sunset swim, and snorkeling the reef just off Lorient Beach to see turtles and vibrant coral.
