You may live up to the name of the famous explorer when you stay at Villa Captain Cook in the sought after Pointe Milou area of St. Barts. After all, with its location, this elegant villa can easily serve as one of the most convenient bases for a wider exploration of the island. However, because it is in the private estate of Pointe Milou, you may find that you don't wander far from your luxurious island home, as well.

Offering four bedrooms and accommodations for up to eight, this villa is roomy and spacious, but not cold or too sprawling. Instead, the design and decor in the building creates a sense of peace and relaxation. It relies on an open floor plan that contains all of the shared living spaces. Within this larger area you will enjoy the gourmet kitchen that includes everything from an espresso machine to a dishwasher. This opens to the indoor dining area and the different lounging areas in the living room. This is where you can also enjoy access to the entertainment system too.

The shared spaces open to the impressive pool area, which is surrounded by terraces, including an area with a Jacuzzi. There are plenty of spots to lounge in the shade or sun, or even enjoy an al fresco barbecue thanks to the covered, outdoor dining area too.

The four bedrooms all provide en suite baths, offer great views, entertainment systems of their own, and even mini-fridge options. The property has Wi-Fi and satellite TV too, and all of this makes it quite likely that you won't copy Captain Cook and go wandering.

Whether you want to get away with friends or family, the Villa Captain Cook provides the ideal base and so much more. On a private estate, it ensures privacy and security and would be an ideal way to enjoy the tropics at any time of year.

Four air conditioned bedroom room suites with king beds, iPod dock and en suite bathrooms along with seating areas. Bedrooms 2-4 offer an ocean view and feature a TV/DVD along with a mini fridge.
