Villa Bellevue St Barts. While the name of the Villa Bellevue does describe one of the key features of this getaway in the Marigot section of St. Barts, it doesn't actually say it all. Yes, the views from the hills above Marigot Bay are truly breathtaking, and described by many as the epitome of the tropical Caribbean scenery, but there is a great deal more to enjoy here.

For one thing, it is large enough to accommodate ten guests, offering up five large and luxurious bedrooms and all with en suite baths. This means that the shared living spaces are quite expansive too. The enormous gourmet kitchen features all of the best gadgets and gear and allows you to sip espresso on the terrace at dawn or enjoy some of the island's best foods cooked on the open barbecue.

In addition to the luxury kitchen, the open floor plan of the main living space also features a few dining areas, a large living room with full entertainment system, and a massive amount of open space that ensures you feel outdoors even when cooking in the kitchen. The villa will capture all of the sea breezes and changing light, but you can always experience these things directly from the impressive terrace and swimming pool area.

The pool is large and surrounded by a sundeck and a covered patio area where further, al fresco, dining is available. There is also a second swimming pool that is attached to one of the five bedrooms, and is found on the lower level of the villa. There is also a fitness center and media room too.

Three of the bedrooms are on the main level, and two are found downstairs. This is also where the gym and media room are found, and many are utterly charmed by the second pool and how it is tucked so discreetly out of sight.

If you want the perfect setting for a family trip or group getaway, look no farther than Villa Bellevue in the Marigot area.
