Family friendly vacations to St. Barts make many think they have to look strictly at resorts or other less private locations. The Villa Le Manoir de Lorient, however, provides a resort-like setting with complete privacy. It also offers one of the most ideal locations possible and is just a short walk to gorgeous Lorient beach nearby. Le Manoir de Lorient is unique in the fact that the main house of this villa was originally a 18th century French Manor, shipped piece by piece from France.

The villa has seven bedrooms and can accommodate up to 14 guests. The design of the villa guarantees that even a full house will feel completely uncrowded, thanks to the bungalow style layout of the entire property. The bedrooms and the various entertainment spaces are situated in individual bungalows, all interconnected by lovely wooden walkways and garden paths.

As one might imagine, the center of the Villa Le Manoir de Lorient is its large swimming pool and surrounding terrace. With a dining bungalow and bar alongside, the pool will become a major destination. However, there are lounges dotting the property, as well as the main bungalow with its impressive open floor plan that merges a modern, gourmet kitchen with a large al fresco dining space and living room.

The seven bedrooms are just as open air in design as the rest of the property, and each presents the guest with gorgeous views, luxury linens and even high-end electronics. There is Wi-Fi throughout the property.

More of a estate of stylish and decorative bungalows than a single villa setting, this property is a perfect setting for those who want the very most out of a visit to St. Barts. Close to a truly lovely beach, but a complete getaway in itself, this is definitely a location you will want to return to again and again.
