The Hottest Villas in St Barth Right Now, According to the Island’s Top Experts

St. Barth is no stranger to luxury — but even here, some villas rise above the rest.

Whether you’re planning a multi-generational retreat or a romantic escape, these new and newly beloved properties stand out for their style, location, and thoughtful design. These are the hottest homes to book on the island right now — from hidden hilltop sanctuaries to steps-from-the-sand estates.

Here are eight standout villas — and what makes each one special, according to the island’s top villa experts at Wimco St Barth Properties — who’ve been kind enough to share their intel with us at Caribbean Journal.

Villa Clyde — St. Jean This three-bedroom retreat in St. Jean is an ideal balance of comfort and style, set on one level with sweeping views and breezy outdoor spaces. It’s often paired with its sister villa, Bonnie, just next door.

“Just as thoughtfully designed as its sister property, Villa Bonnie. Everything is on one level. For larger groups, Villas Bonnie and Clyde can be rented together, giving you a versatile setup just minutes from St. Jean Beach.”
— Stacy Geert, Assistant Villa Specialist

Villa Bonnie — St. Jean Light-filled interiors and a seamless open layout make this three-bedroom home one of the island’s most accessible villas — and one of the easiest to settle into.

“I’d say it’s a great option for guests of all ages, it’s entirely on one level, which makes getting around easy. The layout works well for couples or families with older children, since the bedrooms are separate rather than connecting.”
— Stacy Geert, Assistant Villa Specialist

Villa Anima — Toiny Artful, earthy, and perched just above the sea in Toiny, Anima is the product of a local artist’s vision. The result is a unique blend of tranquility, texture, and local identity.

“This well thought out stay from the owner (a local artist) is outfitted with comfortable, quality furniture, soothing art, and beautiful landscaping. For a larger group you can rent Anima with Aqualis and walk from one to the other.”
— Susanne Gebhardt, Senior Villa Specialist

Villa Aqualis — Toiny Clean lines and modern tropical minimalism define this three-bedroom property, designed for those who want serenity without sacrificing sophistication.

“Attention to detail is on another level. The first thing I thought when we visited was ‘modern tropical minimalism.’ Everything is well-appointed and deliberate. At their current price point, Aqualis and sister Villa Anima are the best deals on the island.”
— Ben Weisel, Senior Villa Specialist

Villa Maison Saline — Saline Set in a lush garden setting just a short walk from the beach, this four-bedroom villa offers a rare blend of privacy and openness. The bungalow-style bedrooms feel like private retreats of their own.

“This villa is a true private oasis. It’s incredibly peaceful and secluded, yet you’re just a short walk from the beach. The four garden bungalows are ideal for couples, with private outdoor showers and bathrooms that feel open to nature.”
— Tracy Cyr, Villa Specialist

Villa Jangali — Flamands Tucked away near Flamands Beach, Jangali is a five-bedroom home with sleek architecture, a long lap pool, and lush surroundings — a perfect balance of form and function.

“An elegant property with well-maintained gardens and thoughtfully designed interiors. Four bedrooms are all located along the same hallway, ideal for a family or group of friends. It feels private and tucked away, yet you’re right on Flamands.”
— Heather Varella, Villa Specialist

Villa Kreola — Gustavia Set above the capital, this five-bedroom estate combines classic island charm with modern sensibilities. The views over Gustavia harbor are some of the best on the island.

“Set above Gustavia, Kreola captures that perfect blend of classic island charm and understated elegance with sweeping views of the harbor. It’s the kind of laid-back luxury that’s effortlessly authentic. Plus, you’re only steps from town!”
— Tracy Herek, Director of Sales

Villa Camp David — St. Jean It’s one of the rare beachfront villas in St. Barth that truly feels like a private resort. With eight bedrooms, lush grounds, and its own stretch of sand on St. Jean Beach, Camp David is a destination in itself.

“It feels like your own private resort, right on St. Jean Beach, yet secluded from the public. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a big family reunion, or even an intimate corporate retreat. The possibilities here are endless.”
