Villa Unik
Description
With ten suites spread across two pavilions, two glittering infinity pools, star-caliber entertainment areas, and a visual language created by Philippe Starck, Villa Unik is a showcase of modern design and uncommon scale, perched high on the St-Jean hillside with an endless horizon.
This is the St-Barths estate for milestone gatherings, elegant celebrations, or extended families who want the island’s glamour with complete seclusion. It was constructed with noble materials and is oriented to enjoy views of the sky and sea from almost every room.
The atmosphere of the main pavilion is distinctly Unik: large openings that bring the expansive ocean view into the foreground, pops of color against sculptured whites, and clean architectural lines softened by opulent textures. Deep couches and vibrant cushions are layered in the fully air-conditioned living room to create a salon that is suitable for both pre-dinner cocktail hour and afternoon relaxation. The striking checkerboard breakfast bar next to the indoor dining area is a playful touch that permeates the editorial styling of the house. To ensure smooth service, a professional kitchen is available for private chefs or event caterers, allowing family feasts and tasting menus to take place without disrupting the villa’s smooth rhythm.
Glass walls slide away to a large front terrace along the sea-facing side, providing a stage for golden-hour toasts, poolside afternoons, and coffee at sunrise. Sunbeds, outdoor lounges, and low tables for leisurely lounging surround the estate’s signature water feature, a 20-meter heated infinity pool that ripples toward the horizon. 16 anchors can enjoy long, friendly meals in a breezy alfresco dining area with pastel chairs under cover, and a cocktail bar next door keeps the conversation going. After a day at the beach, you can watch palms frame the last light over St-Jean from the mosaic-covered jacuzzi, which is tucked away in tropical shade and adds a touch of decadent calm.
Villa Unik’s sleeping quarters are designed for convenience and seclusion. Seven suites are spread over two floors of the main building, with three below for additional privacy and four on the same level as the living areas for easy step-out. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, a view of the garden or the ocean, and finishes that complement the sophisticated, modern style of the house. The Cottage is a secondary residence located beyond the main pavilion that increases capacity and flexibility. It has three more bedrooms, a comfortable living area, a second whimsical checkerboard kitchen, and a second heated infinity pool, making it ideal for staff traveling with the group or early risers or teens who keep late hours.
The estate’s design incorporates entertainment and well-being. While the fitness center faces the sky and greenery to keep morning movement uplifting, a luxurious movie theater transforms movie night into an occasion. Throughout the property, large windows on both front and back capture cross-breezes and keep the atmosphere fresh; when you prefer to cocoon, quiet air-conditioning maintains a cool, gallery-like calm. The lush, multi-layered tropical garden that surrounds it, which is alive with the trade winds, completes the feeling of sanctuary.
The way areas flow from the professional kitchen to the dining pavilion to the pool deck, from the star-designed salons to the shaded lounges, is what sets Villa Unik apart. It’s not just size that makes it unique. A swim in the 20-meter lap line, a nap by the water, a late-afternoon soak in the jacuzzi, aperitifs at the bar, breakfast at the checkerboard bar, and dinner beneath a sky that is turning coral to indigo. Even though the architecture provides both, each component serves presence rather than spectacle.
Planning is made easy with flexible configurations. Villa Unik offers the same first-rate experience whether you book it as a 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-bedroom estate. (The price listed is a starting point; send an email to [email protected] for a customized quote.)
Villa Unik lives up to its name as a unique St-Barths haven where the essentials—light, line, horizon, and time together—are expertly choreographed. It is the ideal destination for travelers looking for a singular address—design pedigree, sweeping seascape, two pools, event-ready dining for sixteen, and the peace of an ultra-private setting above St-Jean.
