St. Barts Villas by

Cascading from one of the highest points on the hillside, Villa Blue Dragon is, quite literally, the pinnacle of island opulence. Crafted by renowned local designer Elisa Bally, this magical home is inspired by the stunning nature that surrounds it, culminating in a space of rich colours, elegant lines and chic decadence.

The lofty setting of Villa Blue Dragon provides breathtaking vistas, with sea views from every single room, and yet it is still wonderfully close to all the joys the island has to offer. The airport is just ten minutes away and the fine dining and culture of Gustavia only eight minutes away. Furthermore, a glorious meandering walk, through paradisiacal trees and foliage, sees you to Gouverneur Beach in just 14 minutes.

The six ensuite bedrooms are split across three levels, with four in two separate pavilions which contain their own living area and kitchenette. A further king ensuite has its own private terrace and the master features a dressing room, walk-in closet and private sundeck, making Villa Blue Dragon perfect for a large group or special occasion. Every room also has a sofa bed that can accommodate an extra guest.

The interior combines sumptuous rich woods with glorious vaulted ceilings and bright, airy spaces, creating the perfect blend of comfort and freedom. High-end, eclectic design, use of local stone and artful swathes of colour give an air of sophistication and artistry to the villa, making it a pleasure to explore. The gourmet kitchen, with cold pantry and breakfast bar, is perfect for whipping up a meal or inviting in a private chef to provide for you. The well-equipped fitness room, wide-screen TV and pool table will keep everyone entertained and an outdoor kitchen offers the chance to cook under the stars.

Most marvellous of all is the sublime infinity pool, which seems to extend out into the sky itself: an azure jewel just waiting to welcome you into its sparkling waters. ‘Here be dragons’ was once a warning on maps to stay away from a place, but this particular Blue Dragon welcomes you into a haven of relaxation, splendour and wonder.
