Welcome to Villa Acai (villa code: WV ACI), a charming 3-bedroom villa overlooking the bay of Flamands, St. Barts. If you were to picture a classic St. Barts home, this is what you would see; an elegant mix of understated luxury and incredible ocean views, within a short walk of a pristine beach.

Inside, Villa Acai is well-appointed with all the creature comforts of home. Beautiful white walls and vaulted ceilings capture the island light filtering through the windows, casting a golden glow across a range of high-end furnishings. Pared-back, graceful, and with a rustic touch to the décor, this is a fantastic choice for an elegant Caribbean getaway.

Villa Acai is ideally situated in a corner of the popular Roc de Flamands residence, boasting one of the best views in the area. It’s a short walk down a steep hill to Flamands Beach and the famous Cheval Blanc Hotel, with its restaurants and spa. The center of Gustavia is 10 minutes by car.

Living Spaces: Spread over three levels, Villa Acai embraces its hilltop location in its layout and design. Awash in the island light at every turn, the interiors in part feel like they’re lifted straight out of a dream sequence.

On the main level is the combined living room and kitchen. A large and comfortable sectional couch sits in the living room, with windows on two sides overlooking Flamands Bay. The views from here are incredible, making this an idyllic centerpiece of Villa Acai.

Kitchen and Dining Room: Towards the back of the room is a fully equipped kitchen, small but functional. It too enjoys great views and plenty of natural light, creating a warm atmosphere for preparing meals during your stay.

The best part about dining in the villa is getting to eat at the long table on the covered terrace outside. From here, the views are immersive, from the sparkling turquoise of the bay to the emerald green of the hills on either side. At sunset, the offshore islands glow gold in the fading light, a romantic backdrop to a gourmet meal.

Bedrooms: From the fantastic living spaces, Villa Acai continues into 3 quiet and calm bedrooms, set one level lower than the living room. These tranquil spaces are comfortable and peaceful, with plush beds that provide a wonderful night’s sleep.

The master bedroom features a spacious ensuite bathroom, as well as a TV with U.S. and French satellite channels and Apple TV. Two guest suites share a bathroom, with wistful writing desks in the rooms and black and white photos above the bed heads. All three rooms come with either a pair of twins or a king-sized bed.

Outdoor Features: There are three levels of outdoor living spaces at Villa Acai, offering plenty of space for everyone to come together or find their own private corner. To begin with, a large terrace wraps around the main level of the home, offering ample seating to kick back and admire the yachts sailing along the horizon.  

On the middle level outside the bedrooms, more seating and another chilled-out dining table make for a good spot to enjoy a casual lunch. Palm trees rustle in the breeze, and the views of the Caribbean are incredible.

A few steps lower is the large sun deck with the heated pool that overlooks a large part of Flamands Beach. The original rock formation of the cliff flanks the pool, grounding you in the rugged landscapes of St. Barts. On the other side, the palm trees and tropical garden provide privacy for days spent relaxing by the water, sunbathing on loungers.

Amenities: Villa Acai has all the amenities you need for a relaxed stay in St. Barts. This home also comes with a gas grill, Apple TV and satellite channels, air-conditioning, a Sonos sound system, and fast Wi-Fi.
