Nestled atop the hills of St. Jean, amidst the pantheon of St. Barth's luxurious dwellings, stands Villa Unique – an architectural gem with breathtaking Caribbean Sea views. Crafted with meticulous precision by visionary designer Philippe Starck, this unparalleled estate effortlessly weds sleek, luxurious lines with an unhindered natural panorama of turquoise and azure tapestry that fill the horizon as far as the eye can see. This luxury St Barts dwelling is arguably one of the finest villas available on the entire island, able to accommodate up to 20 guests comfortably amongst its ten spacious bedrooms.
Villa Unique unfurls like a grand tapestry, where spatial generosity, an ingenious demarcation of chambers, and an overarching envelope of privacy coalesce, making it an idyllic haven for large groups to gather here on this world-renowned island in the Caribbean. Set amidst a truly utopian backdrop, Villa Unique offers the ultimately sanctuary— a resplendent escape, meticulously curated to deliver uncompromising experiences in an immersive visual splendor with an unrivaled 5-star ambiance that provides the comforts of home away from home.
On approach to Villa Unique, a serpentine driveway winds its way across a verdant slope, distancing the villa from the mundane hum of the outside world, culminating in an expansive arrival pavilion. The inaugural encounter is with the villa's alfresco grandeur: an elongated terrace cradling a 20-meter-long, heated aquatic oasis and an adjacent Jacuzzi shimmering with mosaic tiles. A canopy-shaded terrace stands sentinel, housing an outdoor bar, a wine room, and a majestic dining setup fit for a royal banquet.
On its right flank, the heart of the home beats with a sophisticated pulse. Spacious wood-paneled rooms brimming with plush couches beckon for leisurely reprieves, while the everyday kitchen, sporting a vintage checkerboard underfoot and a casual breakfast bar, invites intimate morning rituals. Concealed behind this veneer of casual elegance is a professional culinary sanctum, equipped with a dedicated portal – an invitation for culinary maestros to concoct gastronomic symphonies.
Every corner of Villa Unique sings praises of design brilliance. It's an ensemble of cutting-edge furnishings, luminary masterpieces, and exquisite finishes. Craftsmanship is evident in the choice of noble woods that cocoon the bedrooms, infusing warmth and intimacy. Hues dance subtly across accessories, and aural wonders resonate from state-of-the-art Devialet speakers, granting access to a world of melodies via Spotify.
Within the villa's core, seven sumptuous chambers await. Each boasts opulent ensuites, regal king-sized beds, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, literary treasures, and windows framing both marine and verdant theatrics. The primary master suite stands distinct, boasting a palatial dressing alcove and a dedicated portal. Its counterpart occupies the terrace's antipode, with nearby chambers offering flexibility in occupancy and connectivity, catering to diverse guest needs, be it children or caregivers. The villa's lower sanctum houses additional suites, with proximity to both cinematic wonder – complete with 3D visual magic – and a temple of fitness.
Villa Unique's narrative further unfolds in a secluded annex, aptly christened the Cottage. Mirroring the villa's ethos on a more intimate scale, it shelters three additional chambers. They commune around their own heated aqueous haven and shared living and culinary spaces. This triad of rooms provides varied experiences, with one ensconced in a standalone bungalow, earmarked perhaps for those in service.
In the lexicon of luxury, many spaces lay claim to distinction. Yet, in the hallowed echelons of St. Barth, only one stands truly unparalleled, unfettered, and unmatched – the Villa Unique.
