If the idea of a private paradise sitting on the hills above Flamands Beach and minutes from Gustavia in St. Barts appeals, the Villa Jali (ABT) is an ideal solution. This three-bedroom gem is a perfect retreat that offers an array of comforts and amenities. It could easily be your sole destination while on holiday, but it is also convenient to some of the best shopping, dining, nightlife and sightseeing too.

The heart of the villa is its pool terrace. A rectangular pool faces out to the amazing sea views, and is framed by a wooden deck that features a good assortment of sun beds and outdoor lounging spots. You can also step beneath the portico to savor time at the al fresco dining table, the large outdoor lounge with full-sized sofa and chairs, or head to the barbecue area just outside of the kitchen.

Enormous glass doors make it easy to savor the sound of the sea, the fresh air and that scenery from any room. The property is split between the main house and two small pavilions that contain the two king bedroom suites. The main villa has two floors, the lower is comprised of a fully-equipped fitness room and an office. The upper level features the enormous living room and entertainment area, the breakfast bar and the professional-level kitchen that opens to the pool terrace and the barbecue area.

The three bedrooms are all ensuite and offer sea views. The one in the main villa features a king bed, a high-end entertainment system, and direct access to the pool terrace. Another is housed in its own pavilion with a private bath and king bed, and the final can have two twins or a king bed, and offers terrace access and an entertainment system.
