Castaway to Villa Ela (villa code: WV ELA), a glamorous private compound with a total of 8 bedrooms, located directly on Flamands Beach, St. Barts.

Within steps of the beach and minutes from shopping and restaurants, this property is all about oceanfront luxury.

Inside, creamy white interiors dazzle and impress. Understated and chic, the minimalist style encourages you to relax, unwind, and disconnect from the hectic pace of modern life. There’s also plenty of space to spread out and entertain as well - the best of both worlds.

Picture yourself strolling outside onto the golden sand of Flamands Beach, walking to the restaurants at Cheval Blanc or Baie des Anges, exploring the world-class dining scene in nearby Gustavia, or enjoying the glamorous bars of St-Jean. Sophisticated stays in St. Barts don’t come much better than this.

Living Spaces: Sea breezes gently flow through large doors into the open-plan great room, with a living area, dining room, and kitchen. The entire space features a pleasing mix of whitewashed floors and furnishings that contrast with solid teak accents.

The living room at Ela Villa features inviting sofas and chairs facing the pool terrace. It’s a great spot to escape the heat of the day, sinking into the soft sofas with a cool drink.

Kitchen and Dining Room: Behind the living room is Villa Ela’s modern kitchen. Well-equipped, you’ll have everything you need to create gourmet meals during your stay. Our concierge can organize grocery pre-stocking or delivery, catered meals, or even arrange a private chef service for a special occasion.

Meals are hosted at the outdoor dining table on the covered terrace, with seating for 10+ guests. Pairing a delicious meal with the warm island air is exactly what life in the Caribbean is all about.

Bedrooms: There’s a total of 8 bedrooms at Villa Ela, spread across several separate bungalows. Each features elegant and calming décor, ideal for relaxing and recharging at the end of each day.

The first bungalow is across the terrace, next to the main house. The second level is home to the master bedroom, featuring a luxurious four-poster, mahogany king-sized bed. A luxurious ensuite bathroom has travertine tiles and a sunken bathtub, complete with a rain shower overhead.

The second bedroom is next to the master, also with a four-poster king-size bed and ensuite bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms are on the pool level, furnished in the same chic style. One has a king-sized bed and the other has a pair of four-poster twin beds which can convert to a king bed.

A newly-built guest bungalow is located next to Villa Ela’s entrance near the tennis court. There are 4 more bedrooms here, each with a king-sized bed and a TV with U.S. satellite channels. This bungalow also features a cozy living space and kitchen.

Outdoor Features: Outside at Villa Ela, a lounge area on the covered poolside terrace is a great place to relax with a cool island cocktail. Sunset views from here are incredible, lighting up the bay and offshore islands of Île Frégate and Île Bonhomme.

Steps lead down to the pool terrace, stretching out to meet the soft sand of the beach. Several teak couches, chaise lounges, and a covered swing provide plenty of space to relax and enjoy the weather. There are also remote-controlled awnings for extra shade, an outdoor shower, and a full wet bar.

Diving into the pool is an easy way to cool off; otherwise, the golden sand and turquoise water at Flamands Beach are seconds away. Other beaches are also within easy distance. St. Jean Beach is a 7-minute drive to the east, while the secluded Colombier Beach, only accessible on foot, is a 30-minute trek.

Amenities: Thoughtful touches at Villa Ela help make this one of the most exquisite stays in St. Barts. This property also has fast Wi-Fi, its own private tennis court, Apple TVs, gated entry, and air-conditioning throughout the property.
