Villa Acamar

3-bed, 3-bathroom villa on the hillside above Toiny Beach

Looking out over the mottled blues of the Caribbean from the rare and unspoiled location of the hillside above Toiny beach, Villa Acamar is new to the market but fast becoming one of St. Barth's most popular villas. Blending carefully hewn stone, fine finished carpentry and an eclectic decor of colorful fabrics, this home creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which each room has its own personality.

The open-plan interior living and dining areas offer seating on comfortably upholstered sofas and dining for eight at an elegant table. The adjacent kitchen is separated from the dining area by a convenient breakfast bar, and provides state-of-the-art appliances and plentiful counter space. The spectacular sea view is visible from all areas throughout the space, and a pool table at the rear of the living area makes a fun diversion after a day spent on the sun-drenched terrace around the pool. Just off the main room is a luxury found in only a few of the island's most luxurious villas: a true home cinema with sumptuous theater seating for eight.

The three bedrooms are roughly equal in size and amenities, making Villa Acamar an ideal choice for couples vacationing together. Each has its own ensuite bath and a private or semi-private terrace. Quality linens, soft lighting and a thoughtful touch in collectibles and art make each room as much a pleasure as the living area.

Villa Acamar's special location gives it the advantage of a great south-facing exposure to the sun and places it in easy walking distance of the surfing beach at Toiny.
