Vesper

Vesper, Lurin, St. Barts

Villa Vesper sits near the top of Mount Lurin overlooking palm-covered hills and the Caribbean Sea. The views over the hills from here are truly spectacular, exactly the sort one pictures when asked about green hills. They’re the kind of hills that inspire villas like Vesper, where nature blends in with the architecture. Get away to paradise at Villa Vesper, St. Barts.

Vesper’s simple, modern chic displays opulence without really needing to be too flashy with it. Villa Vesper features elegant smooth lines, featureless cabinets in warm wood and black, and wooden wall accents on a sultry white and gray palette. A long teak wood dining table seats twelve, in case of company. An open floor plan displays views over the ocean as far as the eye can see. An in-house chef* can prepare a gourmet meal to be enjoyed in this open main room, or a catered experience* is available for a more casual soiree on the veranda and pool terrace. For those who enjoy a night in cooking together, a fully functional kitchen boasts black stone counter tops and appliances designed to look like black wooden cabinets, plus a bar and wooden bar stools for company.

With four queen beds and four en-suite bathrooms, Villa Vesper sleeps eight guests (ages twelve and over). Each room is equipped with air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, television, safe, a bathrooms en-suite with vanities, water closet, waterfall shower head, and ocean views. One bathroom features a large, outdoor, stone bathtub (shaped rather like a smooth round pebble) next to the outdoor waterfall shower. Another features an outdoor shower that stands above the jungle canopy with a spectacular view. Each room has eggshell-white walls lit warmly with track or feature lighting. Large brown cabinets without handles—completely featureless in fact—appear small, smooth, and pleasing under a vaulted ceiling. Each room also has a long bench for window side ocean views, and nearly all have a private terrace.

The main living space is right next to the main dining area, which has a veranda on either side of an open floor plan. A long infinity pool merges the view of the terrace with that of the ocean in the distance. Another sitting room with a television is next to the kitchen and bar area, where a slider opens out onto a terrace. At Villa Vesper, the finer things are open to nature’s beauty.
