Etoile du Nord

Villa Etoile du Nord, Flamands, St Barts. 

Set just above the beach at Flamands on St. Barts, the Villa Etoile du Nord is a fantastic find. Ideally sized for a romantic getaway for two, a holiday with friends, or a vacation with the family, it offers two large bedrooms, an idyllic location and a long list of amenities. Its setting in the Flamands Beach area puts it just a short walk from what is the largest and one of the loveliest beaches on the island. Flanked by trendy and popular eateries, the beach will become a favorite destination for all who enjoy a stay at the villa. However, the property itself is so packed with amenities that it may be hard to pull yourself away from the premises.

After all, there is the lovely wooden terrace that frames the large and private plunge pool. With a fully furnished sun deck and a covered verandah, it will easily rate as an ideal spot for gazing at the daily sunrises and sunsets as well as a preferred location for whiling away the hours in comfort and style. Beneath the sheltered area of the terrace is the al fresco dining spot with barbecue and plenty of room for the group. This opens inward into the villa itself and stepping through the oversized glass doors into the great room is sure to delight.

After all, the warmer outdoor palette quickly shifts to a more soothing, neutral one. The high, white ceilings and cool marble floors work well with the black and white décor. The balance of natural materials and contemporary style is sure to please all, and the open floor plan ensures that the beautiful scenery can be savored whether working in the high-end, open-air kitchen (which is stocked with the very best appliances and gear) or lounging on the roomy sofa. There is a full entertainment system as well, and the great room is a perfect spot for daily get togethers, meals and more.

The two bedrooms are quite luxurious and divided between the upper and lower levels. The lower king suite features a small patio while the upper king suite opens directly to the terrace. Both feature large ensuite bathrooms and the same sort of inspired décor as the rest of the premises. Both offer nice views and are idyllic retreats.

Whether it is the first or the tenth visit to St. Barts, a stay at the truly wonderful Villa Etoile du Nord is a must, and it will quickly become one of the group’s preferred locations.
