Villa Silver Rainbow in St Barth by WIMCO.

WIMCO Villas, the Caribbean’s leading villa provider, is expanding its popular Special Reserve Collection Villas in St Barth. 

The collection features private villas that come with the services of a private chef. 

WIMCO now has a total of 30 villas in its St Barth Special Reserve Collection portfolio, the company confirmed to Caribbean Journal. 

Guests in the Special Reserve Collection enjoy daily private chef service, 24/7 personal concierge service, privileged access to chaise lounges at top beach clubs in St Barth. 

It also includes access to WIMCO’s Air Desk, which books all international and local flights for travelers and arranges VIP airport transfers and arrival service. 

The newest addition to the Collection is Villa Embrace in Gustavia, a five-bedroom, 12,000-square-foot villa overlooking the harbor in Gustavia. 

The villa has two pools, a game room, a massage room and an interior waterfall, among other amenities. 

“The Special Reserve Collection villas all have four or more bedrooms and are designed for families and large groups,” said WIMCO president Stiles Bennet. “One reason WIMCO chose to include the services of a private chef in the price of these larger villas is due to how challenging it can be in peak season to get a table seating 8-14 people for dinner at the top restaurants in Gustavia. It also solves the problem of finding child care at night as the family can all stay in and dine together. This additional level of service elevates an already exceptional villa rental experience.”
