WINGS

A recent addition to St Barts' luxury villa rentals, Villa Wings occupies an enviable position on the hillside above St Jean Bay, with a panoramic view over the island's airport and the world-renowned Eden Rock Hotel to the islets and ocean beyond. Notable also for its unique architecture and high quality finish, Villa Wings has quickly become one of our most popular vacation homes.

The main level consists of covered hardwood decking dotted with tropical trees and shrubbery centred around the infinity pool. Grouped around the main sitting area are a well-equipped gym room, a TV room, and a gourmet kitchen serving two dining areas for formal or informal, inside or outside meals. The whole area has the fabulous view for backdrop, and is soothed by the gentle murmur of the pool as it overflows into a second small pool on a lower level, where a twin bedroom benefits from its own deck and covered terrace with ocean view.

Three other bedrooms on the level above the living area have state of the art bathrooms, sea views and all the technological gadgets of the modern world. Rear garden plots, together with the modern chic decor throughout, create a harmonious, restful atmosphere.

With its bird's eye view and the fashionable boutiques and restaurants of St Jean village just at the foot of the hill, Villa Wings can truly be said to be at the heart of St Barts.
