Villa Ganesha sits directly on the white sand of Flamands, St Barth, with three bedrooms for six guests. A private staircase runs from the terrace down to the beach, which stays rare on an island where building along the shoreline is restricted.

The setting and the view

Flamands is one of the longest and finest beaches on the island, noticeably quieter than Saint Jean, ten minutes from Gustavia. The villa faces the sea on the level, with two hotel restaurants a short walk away.

The living spaces

Between the house and the beach, the private pool is lined with loungers and sofas shaded by umbrellas. The villa provides two kayaks, two paddle boards and life jackets.

The bedrooms

All three bedrooms are air conditioned, with built in wardrobes and large bathrooms. The master suite takes the upper level, with a king bed, a soaking tub and its own terrace. The second has a king bed and its own bathroom. The third is set up as a bunk room and sleeps four.

Around the villa

The beach is at the bottom of the stairs. The path to Anse de Colombier starts at the end of the Flamands road, and Gustavia is ten minutes away by car.
