Gouverneur is a residential quarter in the south of Saint Barth, five minutes from Gustavia along a steep road down from Lurin.
The villas occupy the slopes around the bay: none sits on the beach itself, which is protected land and will never carry a building.
That is what makes it one of the finest on the island.
Facing south, and so sheltered from the northern swells, it has a very gentle slope and water that is usually calm, good for swimming with children, with rocks at the eastern end for snorkeling and hills around that give real shade at certain hours.
A small parking area, a short walk, and nothing else: no beach bar, no loungers, no restrooms.
You bring everything.
A villa rental in Gouverneur suits guests who want a beautiful quiet beach while staying five minutes from the harbor.
