Sitting atop a small hill in the Petit Cul De Sac is the impressive, new Villa Open Space on St Barts. It lives up to its name completely thanks to its creative use of space and setting. The entire villa feels like a part of the surrounding landscape and yet also delivers optimal privacy.

The villa uses an open floor plan in the shared spaces to capture the very best that the Caribbean has to offer. The views of the Petit Cul De Sac Beach are only part of the experience, because the entire structure uses open walls and spaces to capture the sea breezes, the gorgeous light, the rolling and verdant hills heading down to the turquoise waters, and even the small bungalows that dot the valley below.

All of this scenery, and yet the villa retains total privacy through the use of landscaping and half walls at the pool's edge. The infinity edge pool is truly stunning and does seem to head out into the view. On either side of it are private sun decks for each of the two bedrooms, and a full patio runs the length of the property.

Indoors, the open floor plan features a modern and gourmet kitchen that adjoins the formal indoor dining room. There is also a large and comfortable living room area with a full entertainment system and plush furnishings. This large space spills out to the patio and pool, but there is also an al fresco dining area as well.

The two bedrooms feature impressive views of the sea and the surrounding landscape, large and luxurious en suite bathrooms, and come with Wi-Fi service.

The perfect size for a pair of friends, the Villa Open Space does give you plenty of room to relax, refresh and enjoy and is also just a short distance to the pleasures of the beach.
