Jocapana

Castaway to Villa Jocapana (villa code: WV JOC), an alluring 4-bedroom villa located in Lurin, St. Barts. Overlooking Gustavia and the glistening ocean beyond, this St. Barts villa enjoys spectacular sunsets and is within a short drive of the shops and restaurants of the island’s capital.

Villa Jocapana is spacious and inviting, with the island breeze washing through each room in the home. Warm wood tones throughout create an island appeal, while vaulted ceilings capture the dreamy island light as it filters through the large doors and across the elegant furnishings. Restful and effortless, this home is equal parts sophistication and relaxation.

The location too is wonderful, with the world-class restaurants and boutique shops of Gustavia just down the hill. Shell Beach is also nearby, offering a tranquil stretch of sand with a beach bar to enjoy some time in the sea and sun. Best of all is the daily sunsets, descending below the horizon and sending hues of rosy gold across everything within view.

Living Spaces: Spread over several levels, Villa Jocapana features a clever design that’s social and welcoming with plenty of cozy corners for solitude. In classic Caribbean fashion, an airy great room is the gathering point of the home, combining the living room and kitchen.

Vaulted ceilings above this space add an air of luxury, providing the space for elegant light fixtures to hang down above the living room and kitchen. The living room sofa invites you to sink in and unwind at any time of the day, with a TV in the entertainment unit and the sliding doors to one side opening to the covered terrace and views.

Kitchen and Dining Room: At the other end of the room is Villa Jocapana’s kitchen, a modern and up-to-date area that makes cooking a breeze. Featuring a breakfast island with stools, your whole group can get involved in preparing a meal, enjoying a pre-dinner aperitif as you do.

The kitchen island also acts as a casual spot for breakfast and coffee in the morning. Formal meals can be hosted at the dining table on the covered terrace, with seating for up to 12 guests – ideal for entertaining.

Bedrooms: The bedrooms inside Villa Jocapana are chic and relaxing, featuring plush beds and a pared-back island style.

There are two bedrooms next to the main living area, each with a European king-sized bed and an ensuite bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower.

The master bedroom is in a separate bungalow above the pool, with a private terrace featuring an idyllic seating area. This bedroom also has a European king-sized bed, as well as a luxurious ensuite with an indoor shower that opens completely to the outside.

A second master bedroom is in another pavilion above the living and offers lots of privacy and great views. It has a European king-sized bed, closets, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower.

Outdoor Features: Venturing up one more level from Villa Jocapana’s master bedroom brings you to a tranquil gazebo, intended as a yoga or fitness area. Although the plush loungers here also make it an inviting spot to kick back with a cool drink.

Back on the main level, the covered terrace has another comfortable lounge area, acting as an outdoor living area for reading, conversations, and more. To the side of this is the inviting swimming pool, with two waterfall features at one end.

More loungers by the water provide spots for sunbathing, and there’s even a bar where you can mix yourself up a tropical cocktail or keep a bottle of wine chilled. From everywhere, the views are incredible, with the terrace enjoying all-day sun and tropical breezes.

During the Thanksgiving and December holidays, the villa rents at full occupancy rates regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
