Ela | A Coastal Haven of Elegance and Tranquility in St. Barts

About this Villa

With its fabulous location directly on the beach at Flamands and its exquisite yet understated style, Villa Ela is a study in the beautiful simplicity of Caribbean living. Overlooking the multi-tiered hardwood terrace and large pool, the property’s main house comprises a single loft-like space where the kitchen and living and dining areas all flow together in a calming atmosphere of white fabrics and dark woods. Open on three sides to the ocean breezes, this room invites you to take a shady break from the sunny beach. It also makes a perfect space for entertaining, with plentiful, comfortable seating, outdoor dining for twelve or more, and a professional Wolf barbecue. On the garden side of the main house you have your own private tennis court, bordered by palms and whispering pines.

Villa Ela’s cool elegance continues in the decor of the four bedrooms, located in a separate, two-floor bungalow across the terrace from the main house. The master bedroom boasts a four-poster, mahogany king bed, lacquered-white wood floors, and a luxurious ensuite bath of travertine tiles, complete with a sunken bathtub and rain head shower. The second bedroom is adjacent to the master, also with a four-poster king bed and ensuite bath. On the lower floor, at the pool level, you find the third and fourth bedrooms, both furnished in the same chic style, one with a king bed and the other with two four-poster twin beds. All four bedrooms enjoy the spectacular ocean view, along with sound of waves crashing on the sand just steps away.

For even larger gatherings, such as extended families or big groups of friends traveling together, Villa Ela includes a newly built guesthouse with four more bedrooms, its own living space and a kitchen area. Located near the entrance of the villa, the two-story guesthouse has the same sense of spaciousness and inviting atmosphere of white fabrics and dark woods. While its rooms lack a sea view, they have a superb privacy quotient, and the main house’s terraces and rooms with views are just a few steps away.

The pool-level terrace offers additional seating for twelve or more on large teak couches, along with a swing seating four and numerous chaises for sunning. There are remote-controlled awnings to provide extra shade, an outdoor rain head shower, and a full wet bar as well. From this level you take a mere five steps and your feet are in the beautiful white sand of Flamands Beach, where it’s just a short stroll to the renowned restaurants at the Isle de France and Taiwana hotels.

Villa Ela is truly an exceptional property in every respect: in location, in amenities, and in design and decor. The materials and colors selected, along with loving attention to detail, have created a true harmony between the traditional and the updated, making this home a pleasure to live in. Guests of Villa Ela will enjoy the added benefits of daily housekeeping with evening turn-down service.
