The Secret to a Perfect St Barth Summer? These Five Villas.
There’s a quieter side of St. Barth most people never see.
The one after the high season fades, when the beaches empty, the breezes pick up, and the island belongs to you. That’s when summer here becomes something special — not just for couples, but for families, too. Long days, short walks to the beach, and villas that feel like they were designed with barefoot freedom in mind.
We’ve found five summer villas that make it all work: space, privacy, and those little details that turn a trip into a true escape.
Add in a free night and a concierge credit, and the island practically rolls out a red carpet.
Here are are our five faves for summer, thanks to the experts at Wimco St Barth Properties.
EMBRUNS — Flamands
Tucked just above the sands of Flamands Beach, Embruns is made for families with younger kids. Two bedrooms, two baths, and a layout that gives everyone room to breathe. The pool is gently heated and, more importantly, safely gated — so you can relax while the kids explore their island world.
It’s that rare balance of comfort and security, with a bonus $300 concierge credit for the week and one complimentary night this summer.
Why it Works: Good for toddlers, relaxed for adults. Comes with a $300 concierge credit and one free night.
ZEN — Pointe Milou
Out in breezy Pointe Milou, Zen delivers exactly what the name promises — even with a couple of preteens in tow. The open-plan kitchen and living space means you can cook and keep an eye on the pool at the same time. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of outdoor space to burn off energy.
There’s a $175 concierge credit included, plus a free night — more time to enjoy sunset from your private deck.
Why it Works: Two bedrooms, great outdoor space, and clean sightlines. Includes a $175 concierge credit and a complimentary night.
GRAND LARGE — Gouverneur
This one’s different. Grand Large sits on a vast piece of land near Gouverneur, and if you’ve got nature-loving kids, this is the one to book. Chickens, goats, turtles — yes, really. And it’s all fenced in and safe, so the kids get to roam while you kick back.
Three bedrooms, three baths, and a wild slice of St. Barth most never experience. A $425 concierge credit doesn’t hurt either.
Why it Works: Real outdoor adventure, gated grounds, and three full baths. Includes a $425 concierge credit and a bonus night.
CRYSTAL DREAM — St. Jean Beach
This one is all about location. Step off your terrace, and you’re basically in the sand. Mornings start with a swim. Afternoons end with a barefoot stroll. The house has three bedrooms, two baths, and a front-row seat to the best of St. Barth beach life.
Why it Works: Beachfront simplicity with room for the whole family. Comes with a $425 concierge credit.
GOLDEN PALM — St. Jean Beach
The big one. Five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, and room for a multigenerational crew. The garden’s a playground in itself, and the gated access means peace of mind. This is the kind of house that makes vacation logistics feel easy — and lets everyone find their own rhythm.
Why it Works: Space, security, and chef service included. Great for big families or two-family getaways.
The Bottom Line:
These are villas where summer happens a little more slowly. A little more privately. And with a lot less stress. Each one offers something unique for families — from child-safe pools to wide-open spaces — and they all come with an extra night on the house.
