The Villa Bijou (aka villa HBV) in the Flamands area of St. Barts does live up to its name. It is truly a *gem* and is an ideal spot for a romantic couple to escape or for a small family to relax in tropical beauty and privacy. The two-bedroom villa sits on a hillside overlooking the popular and scenic Flamands Beach area, but it is also surrounded by mature gardens that are a destination in themselves.

The villa has many of the same amenities and features of much larger properties, though it accommodates up to four visitors. It begins with the welcoming and appealing terrace entrance that includes gardens and covered dining and lounging areas. Inside you find the well-stocked kitchen ideally suited to even a gourmet cook. This opens directly to the terrace and garden, but also share space with the dining area.

There are several places in which to dine or entertain in this villa, including the al fresco spot by the pool, in the rear garden, and on the private terrace concealed behind the bedrooms. There is also a large and cozy living room that features a modern entertainment center, but which also opens to the pool and terrace area. The swimming pool is surrounded by covered and open terrace spaces and will easily become a main attraction.

The two bedrooms are as luxurious as the rest of the accommodations with access to an extremely private terrace along with en suite bathrooms, Ligne St. Barts toiletries, and excellent views.

Whether you are looking for a real jewel to serve as a romantic spot for a honeymoon or escape for two, or you want to take your family or friends to a true tropical gem, the Villa Bijou is one to consider.
