Villa Anakao St Barts. Tucked into private gardens on a hill overlooking the Saint Jean area of St. Barts is the stunning and contemporary villa Anakao. This two-bedroom gem is the perfect choice for the couple seeking a romantic retreat, the set of friends on holiday or even a solo traveler in search of that idyllic balance of convenience and luxury, privacy and proximity to the best destinations on the island.

Crafted in an appealing island style, this property emphasizes the different outdoor spaces. Seeking to blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces, it uses vast, open air layouts that focus on the setting. At the heart of the property is the pool area. Framed by a wooden pool deck, it features a furnished sun deck and a verandah that does double duty as outdoor living space. Tucked beneath it is the al fresco dining room and barbecue area as well as the full-sized outdoor lounge.

Just inside is the open floor planned great room. With its pickled wood ceilings and stone floors, it sets the stage with a pale palette that works wonders with the light from outside. The décor has a distinctly Asian feel as it emphasizes the interaction of dark mahogany furnishings against pale white upholstery. There is a large and welcoming living room and entertainment space, and it opens into the breakfast area and kitchen. The kitchen is sure to delight even the most discerning of cooks and it too gazes outside and takes in the wonderful scenery.

The bedrooms are separated between floors with the master suite upstairs. It features a large and private balcony, sitting room, and enormous ensuite bath. Downstairs is the second suite with a private bath and queen bed.

When you want to savor the island setting and do it with total privacy, the villa Anakao is a wonderful choice.
