Vesper

Vesper, Lurin, St. Bart

Villa Vesper is located practically at the top of Mount Lurin near Governeur Beach in St. Barts. The villa is built into a steep slope so that some parts of her are up against the mountain itself while others are simple wooden platforms over the jungle canopy. With sweeping views over green hills, the ocean beyond as far as the eye can see, and a quiet, natural opulence that highlights its beautiful geographical location, Vesper is an ultimately private vacation villa unmatched in the caliber of its views and world-class amenities.

Villa Vesper is a four-bedroom villa able to sleep eight guests but outfitted to entertain more. There are two main sitting rooms. One shares the main dining room in a space that opens onto a veranda overlooking the pool, St. Bart’s exquisite green hills, and the Caribbean Sea beyond. The other main living area is beside the kitchen, also looking out over the spectacular view. Both main living spaces are subdued in design, with black cushions on teak wood in one and a sofa with a Papasan chair, coffee table, and television in the other.

Guests may enjoy a catered dinner at the main dining table, which is a beautiful teak wood piece with stylish wicker end chairs and seating for twelve people. An in-house chef can prepare a gourmet meal for guests and their friends or catered* poolside soirees can offer more relaxed provisioning. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who enjoy cooking, with black stone counters, bar stools, and appliances built to look like black wooden cabinetry. However one chooses to dine at Vesper, extravagant views are available from both settings.

From the main living and dining space, a veranda opens onto a pool terrace. The infinity pool stretches lengthwise across the view, ending at a rock wall built into the mountainside and designed to be a fountain. Lounge chairs and parasols for sunbathing are situated on a lower level just below the pool, out of sight of the view and in possession of the same view all its own.

Four queen bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are air-conditioned with ceiling fans, television, wi-fi, terraces, bathtubs, showers, vanities, water closets, safes, and views. One outdoor shower is built outdoors above the jungle canopy overlooking the hills. Another outdoor shower stands beside an outdoor bathtub made of black stone designed to look like a smooth river rock. Each bathroom is equipped with a waterfall shower head. Bedroom terraces come with chaise lounge chairs and views of the ocean.

Villa Vesper is a subtly opulent vacation that will quiet the soul. The decor at the villa is left simple but luxurious, with fine materials in clean solid lines built into the surrounding natural elements or opened to them in such a way that guests feel a sense of coming out above it all. This high up the mountain, with the jungle canopy below and miles of ocean in sight, Villa Vesper offers peace, privacy, and beauty.
