St. Barts Villas by

Perched on a hillside the spills down to the glorious beaches of St Jean, Villa Skrutten is a delightful home full of light and charm set amongst luscious foliage and with a few surprises up its sleeves. This contemporary-style home combines the classic Caribbean alabaster walls with pops of tropical colour and artistic flair to create a space certain to make you smile.

Situated only ten minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from the vibrant town of Gustavia, Villa Skrutten rests just above the exclusive Christopher Hotel meaning a decadent cocktail or spa treatment is moments away. Saint Jean Beach is just ten minutes away and the elevated setting of the home brings with it stunning, sweeping vistas across the bay.

The gleaming walls of the open-plan living space soar upwards to form a gorgeous pitched roof, creating a haven of light and air. A square archway offers a sneak peek out to the wonderful back terrace, hugged by abundant tropical fauna and flowers which fill the air with a beguiling scent as you dine al fresco or try your hand at the grill. Both air-conditioned ensuites boast king beds and lovely large windows from which to admire the beautiful, lush gardens around.

The custom-designed gourmet kitchen is perfect for the visiting gourmand and the resplendent marble dining table offers a sitting place to enjoy the fruits of their labour - both fitting features for a home named after the Danish word for enjoying a good meal. Best of all, however, is the spectacular plunge-infinity pool which seems to cascade over the edge, bordered by Italian tiles and with loungers ready and waiting for you to sink into and soak up the surrounding glory.
