Imagine enjoying a tropical holiday in a scenic villa tucked into its own private gardens and grounds. Imagine that it looked out over the Caribbean Sea and yet also provided you with a long list of world-class amenities. The delightful Villa Nahma meets all of these points, and offers even more. Situated in the hills of Vitet on St. Barts, it is a masterwork of design and surrounded by lush and manicured gardens and grounds.

A truly private retreat, it offers you a dazzling range of welcoming and appealing outdoor living spaces, in addition to beautifully designed interiors. The décor throughout harkens to colonial days but also adds a touch of exotic appeal that reminds you of a glamorous safari. The use of wood paneling and siding, the mahogany and white accents, and the airiness of every space ensures you savor the setting.

This is obvious as you wander the grounds and experience the many outdoor living spaces. An al fresco living room tucked into a stone patio, the long wooden pool terrace with its lovely, curved pool and portico, and the many dining and lounging spaces that surround the porch all add up to an amazing experience. Stepping inside is no different, and the enormous great room is a perfect illustration of this. Furnished with exotic wood and framed art, it offers a full library and office space, banquette sofa and entertainment area, and dining room.

The kitchen is just off the great room and provides you with a bright, airy and professional-quality experience. With marble counters and the very best appliances, it is a joy to use.

The four bedrooms are also impressive, and include two queen suites, a king suite and a fourth suite with two twin beds. Maintaining that safari feel, they are all four-poster beds with canopies of romantic and helpful netting. Each is ensuite and offers views, while the king suite feature a private terrace.

A private, tropical garden and all you need for an idyllic Caribbean holiday is yours with a visit to Villa Nahma.
