Find The Perfect Place to Stay


Saint Barths Guide & Luxury Villas Rentals

Villa Jable is one of the most spacious, comfortable houses in St. Barth. After an extensive renovation, it is an ideal place to relax with afternoon tea or cocktails and enjoy the expansive views of the northwest coastline and the sea toward St. Martin and Anguilla—or, better yet, to watch the sun set over the ocean. Thanks to its central location in Petite Saline, Villa Jable is quiet yet convenient to beaches, bakeries, grocery stores, and restaurants. With six bedrooms and six full bathrooms, the house is perfect both for families and for groups of friends traveling together. The luxury rental property may be known to some by its former name, Villa Sky. Now, after its complete transformation, what is most striking about the villa is its views and its spaciousness. Of course, the clean and modern design makes it easy for living. Now everything is clean-lined and soothing white. Although many of the spaces are quite large, the extensive use of wood makes the home feel warm and welcoming. Villa Jab is spread over two levels.
