Modern Pavilions Villa with wide ocean views

Villa Olive,  is a sublimely chic and serene retreat that epitomizes understated luxury in St. Barth. This stunning property offers a perfect blend of Caribbean charm and refined modernity. Stylish yet unpretentious, minimalist yet warm, and private yet conveniently located, Villa Olive is perched on a peaceful hilltop in Gouverneur. Its enviable position provides tranquility while remaining just minutes away from Gustavia, St. Jean, and the iconic beaches of Gouverneur and Saline.

​

For larger gatherings, Villa Olive can be expanded into a luxurious compound alongside its neighboring properties, Villa Rose and Villa Jasmine. Sharing a harmonious design aesthetic, these villas were conceived by renowned English interior designer Catherine Pawson. Their furnishings, crafted by the celebrated design studio of Christian Liaigre, add to their appeal, creating spaces that are both elegant and inviting.

​

The villa is a testament to the creative brilliance of architect François Pécard, who envisioned a series of light-filled pavilions centered around a 23-meter infinity pool with sweeping views of the lush hills and St. Jean Bay. As evening falls, the soft glow of St. Jean’s lights adds to the ambiance, making Villa Olive feel like a secluded sanctuary above the vibrant island below.

​

The main pavilion, split into two wings off a central foyer, embodies the "less is more" philosophy. Cozy white and blond-wood furnishings complement the airy interiors, while open shelving adorned with pretty glassware and dishes adds a touch of charm. A gourmet kitchen opens to the dining area, which features a wooden table seating ten. This shared space seamlessly transitions to the teak deck, partially shaded by palm trees, offering a perfect setting for relaxation or al fresco dining.

​

Beautiful teak walkways connect the main pavilion to the four-bedroom suites, each housed in its own pavilion. These suites, as spacious as luxury hotel junior suites, feature black-and-white photography and glass-walled bathrooms with dual rain showerheads. Two of the suites open onto private decks, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the villa’s serene surroundings.

​

Villa Olive is a true masterpiece of design and comfort, offering its guests a private, tranquil retreat with all the luxury and convenience of a high-end resort. Ideal for both intimate getaways and larger gatherings, this property promises an unparalleled St. Barth experience.
