Hurakan (KAN)

With its unusual name, you might think the Villa Hurakan on St Barts refers to the unpopular storms that sometimes slam into the Caribbean region, but that is actually incorrect. It is the Caraibe Indian name for their god of the wind, and as you step out on the terrace of this lovely three-bedroom villa you will see why this property's name fits it so well. Positioned in the hills of Colombier, it is able to provide unprecedented sea views while also catching all of those lovely and gentle sea breezes that can make any Caribbean visit so remarkably relaxing and unforgettable.

The villa itself is remarkable inside and out, offering a long list of amenities and delights that will make it an ideal escape for a family or group of friends. The great room features high ceilings and a pale palette that make the most of the gorgeous light pouring in from the terrace beyond, and this will definitely attract guests to the large dining table or the comfortable living room furnishings within these spaces. However, the colorful and complete gourmet kitchen may become a main attraction too since it also provides direct access outdoors.

The terrace is tiered with the upper level housing several lounging spots as well as an al fresco dining area. Take just a few steps down and you reach the lovely infinity edge swimming pool and sun deck. Surrounded with palms and mature plantings, it really is a private tropical paradise all its own, and then there are those sea breezes...

The villa has been designed to ensure privacy for each of the three bedrooms, and these are spread out along the length of the structure - each opening to the terrace. All three are en suite with large beds, and the master bedroom features its own entertainment center too.

Whether you want to enjoy idyllic scenery and some world-class amenities, or you want a home away from home while in the Caribbean, the Villa Hurakan is not one to miss.
