The first step is to choose the right vacation rental provider.  So, what are the most important things to consider and what should you look out for? The first thing is to choose a company who can provide you with unbiased and expert advice.  It is essential that all the villas have been professionally vetted and that the company you choose have been in business for a reasonable time period and has a good number of client testimonials.  The other thing to look out for is whether the company provide a complimentary concierge service. Booking a holiday is not just about the accommodation and flights. You want to ensure that all aspects of the holiday run smoothly and that you also get to have all the experiences of your dreams.  Choose a company who is essentially committed to making your dreams come true.

Villa Vitti in St Barts is definitely one of the Islands most impressive villas. It also has one of the best locations on St Barts overlooking the famous Shell Beach and is just minutes from the capital of Gustavia. The décor is super luxurious, but our favorite areas of the villa is without a doubt the infinity pool and stunning views. Villa Vitti is one of the best places in St Barts to enjoy the sunset. With 5 bedrooms, it is perfect for a special occasion such as a small wedding, anniversary or birthday party.  It even comes with its own underground discotheque!

Villa joy is another one of our top ten choices in St Barts. It has 6 bedrooms and has views to die for. The location of the villa perched on a hillside overlooking Marigot Bay ensures that you have completely panoramic vistas of the ocean and coastline. The infinity pool is perfect for enjoying a cooling dip whilst also taking in the view.

Villa June in St Barts is one of the newest villas on the block. I have always said that villas on St Barts just keep getting better each year and this is a perfect example.  St Barts doesn’t have a bad view anywhere, but the views from Villa June are simply the best.  The infinity pool is so cleverly built that it is difficult to differentiate pool from the sea. The effect is sublime.

VILLA AXEL ROCKS

Axel Rocks Villa St Barts is another brand-new addition, and it most definitely deserves mention in the islands top 8 villas list. If you like to be walking distance to all the action, then its location in the heart of Gustavia is hard to beat. Yet despite its easy access to all the fabulous shops and restaurants, when you are in the villa, you will feel like are completely cosseted from the world. Axel Rocks is a breathtaking example of modern architecture with clean lines and incredible pieces of unique artwork. If you are looking for something extremely special, you will need to look no further.

LEGENDS B VILLA

As a lover of all things fashion, Legends B Villa St Barts is a particular favourite of mine as each of the bedrooms are designed around a famous fashion house.  Some of the designers include Louis Vuitton, Channel, Bulgari and Hermes.  Legends B has a great location close to Gustavia which is particularly appropriate if you want to hit the shops!!

LITAL

Lital is one of the most beautiful contemporary villas in St Barts. With the clever use of floor to ceiling glass, it has an almost transparent feel which in turn ensures the most spectacular views from nearly every corner of the house.  Villa Lital has a hillside location overlooking the stunning turquoise waters of Anse des Cayes. With 7 bedrooms, the villa makes a great retreat for a special occasion or for a multi-generational family get-together or anyone who is looking for something extra special.

Ixfalia has two main distinctions. It is one of the highest located villas on the island of St Barts and therefore has some of the best views. It also has a unique interior design with an almost African Safari come beachside theme. Sounds crazy but it really works. In fact, it works so well, that we had to include it in our top 8 villas list. The garden at Ixfalia is worth a special mention as it is absolutely gorgeous with a lovely pool and chockablock full of sweet-smelling tropical flowers
