If you are a fan of clean aesthetics that rely on neutral palettes, simple lines, and airy spaces, the impressive Villa Alaia is for you. A three-bedroom property tucked into a private garden in the hills of the St. Jean area of St. Barts, it is a fantastic find. Uncluttered and open to the views and natural setting, it features a perfect blend of contemporary features and organic materials.

You'll notice this as soon as you see the charming pool area that frames your lovely views of the sea. A blend of wooden and concrete decking, this pool terrace features simple lines and welcoming furnishings to create the ultimate outdoor living area. The terrace is partially shaded, offering lounges as well as sun beds. The covered terrace uses hefty wooden framing that works well with the concrete floors and the natural materials of the outdoor dining and living rooms.

Stepping through the enormous doors into the great room, this same perfect balance of natural and man-made materials provides you with a simply elegant living room, dining room, and modern kitchen. Though basic, the kitchen is a masterful space with stainless steel surfaces balancing nicely with wooden shelves and the unique dining table nearby.

The three bedrooms are individual retreats, with only one within the main house. This is the king suite that adjoins a small office or children's room, along with a private bath. The suite also opens directly to the pool terrace. The remaining bedrooms are queen suites, and each is housed in a small cottage tucked into the property. One is near the pool and another is in the gardens. They both have the same airy design as the rest of the property, with terraces opening into the gardens, outdoor lounging areas, and large ensuite baths.

The Villa Alaia offers peace, tranquility, scenic beauty and all in an appealing setting full of tasteful and yet simple style.
