There is much to love about this villa, nestled high up on a hillside that overlooks the sea, with a certain tropical charm that exudes the gentility of the West Indies’ colonial past. This is Villa Le Manoir de Lurin, which is exclusively located within a discreet site that is still conveniently within a 5-minute driving distance to Gustavia here in St Barth. Dubbed an overseas collectivity of France located in the West Indies arc or lesser Antilles, St Barth is part of the Leeward islands in northeastern Caribbean that make up the French West Indies. This villa effortlessly and tastefully combines traditional decor and architecture with a 21st century serendipity that is tasteful, classy and refined. Built with 5 bedrooms that sleep 10 guests, the villa’s extensive gardens and landscaping makes this retreat a paradise that beckons to be explored and savoured at least once in a lifetime.
The 5 bedrooms at Villa Le Manoir de Lurin are fashioned in a true colonial style of design with enhanced glamour and distinctive class in each. The master bedroom suite sits on the 2nd storey of the main house while 3 other bedrooms are featured in independent bungalows that open out to the garden and lawn. Each room comes with its own contemporary and luxurious ensuite bathroom with access to terraces that overlook the gardens and the magnificent ocean. Guests will be awed by the sturdy and top-notch furnishings in their rooms including mahogany four-poster beds, old-fashioned writing desks, and Caribbean-tinged decorative elements like wood-louvred windows and doors that help to make the whole space look rich and sumptuous.
The vast and lush green lawn with verdant plants is an Eden of beauty and love with the care put into each of the flowering plants, fruit trees, palms and orchids. From the multicoloured to the row of royal palms, guests will truly feel like they have entered a realm of paradise in the comforting embrace of tropical flourishing flora. Just a short distance across the gardens is where guests will find a second terrace that they can use to sunbathe or simply nap with a book, a pool to have their swims or daily laps in, and a sheltered gazebo which they could seek refuge under. Equipped along with this gazebo are facilities like a barbeque pit, refrigerator and ice machine to whip up the perfect outdoor meal for alfresco dining.
Check out the living and dining halls strategically located on the first floor featuring a combo of traditional and contemporary, such as the white beamed ceilings juxtaposed against comfortable and chic Christian Liaigre sofas. The living area is a hive of tasteful colours and furnishings with a pool table just behind for guests to have some fun while socialising. There is a separate television room for guests, while the open plan dining area with its tropical-style dining table and chairs beckon guests for long lunches and teatime. The bright and spacious fully-equipped kitchen has a touch of the ocean to it with colours of azure blue and white for the cabinets, shelves and ceiling beams that make cooking sessions in this space a joy indeed.
Guests checking into the villa will be received with a welcome gift kit that includes Hermes toiletries among others. There is also a round-the-clock in-house concierge team that can help and support guests with any arrangements or organising of tours, special plans or excursions should they reach out for such services. A dedicated housekeeping team cleans and maintains the villa everyday except for Sundays and other holidays, while guests will be personally ushered and escorted upon their arrival and departure to and fro the airport and the villa.
Villa Le Manoir de Lurin’s strategic location allows guests to stay off the beaten track with excellent privacy and exclusivity yet they are able to conveniently reach Gustavia in under 5 minutes. Also a short drive from the villa are the pristine and gorgeous beaches of Saline and Gouverneur for beach enthusiasts to have their share of basking in the sun and dipping in the sea.
