Villa Case des Îles sits in Lorient, St Barth, with three bedrooms for six guests. Drawn from the island's traditional way of living, it is made up of separate cases, bungalows that give everyone their own privacy.

The setting and the view

The villa stands above Lorient, a village quarter that stays more local and less busy than Saint Jean, five minutes away by road. The view is panoramic over the bay and the hills.

The living spaces

Several terraces step around the house and create distinct spaces depending on the hour. The main terrace holds a large teak table, another in wood carries the loungers around the pool, and a gazebo set at the high point opens onto the ocean. A heated swim spa completes the picture.

The bedrooms

Each of the three bedrooms takes its own case and carries a name, Iguane, Pipiri and Indigo. Each has its own character and its own en suite bathroom.

Around the villa

Lorient beach and its surf break are minutes away, along with the bakery, the grocery stores and the village tables. Saint Jean is five minutes by car.
