Villa Seglet

A natural rock face rises behind Villa Seglet, and in front the turquoise anchorage of Gustavia spreads out, packed with yachts and sailboats. The villa sits on a steep rocky hillside in Corossol, with a small beach and rocky cliffs below and islets out at sea. Design minded groups looking for a villa in Corossol, St Barts will find a striking modern house with a serious outdoor kitchen.

The villa is large and contemporary, on several levels. Two white cubic pavilions with gray shingle hip roofs crown the top, joined by a glass railed terrace. Below them, an open ground level is wrapped in wood slat walls, and a garage sits underneath. Inside, the design is minimal, in white and wood. Pale porcelain floors meet vertical wood slat walls under track lighting. The open kitchen has a long gray island with bar stools and a wine fridge, beside a bar wall hung with glasses. A long live edge wood table anchors the dining area.

The long infinity pool is laid in dark green mosaic and faces the harbor. Large modular sofas with teal cushions fill the deck. Outdoor dining seats 12 or more on multicolored chairs, and a second dining area hangs rattan pendants overhead. Against the rock face, a covered outdoor kitchen has a professional grill and a pizza oven. A sculptural white shell canopy shelters a daybed, and a small plunge pool sits on a lawn terrace with its own harbor view. Upper sun terraces are set with yellow chairs. There is also a gym lined in wood slats.

The five bedrooms each have a king bed and an ensuite bathroom, sleeping up to 10 guests. Several face the bay through floor to ceiling glass, and statement chandeliers hang in the bedrooms. One suite has a red designer armchair, and the suites include sitting areas. Bathrooms pair freestanding tubs with double basins on long stone vanities, and rain showers sit behind glass walls that look onto tropical planting.

Corossol is a traditional fishing village on a calm bay just north of Gustavia. It keeps a local feel while staying close to town. If the party needs more beds, Villa Utsikten covers 4 bedrooms for up to 8 guests with an infinity pool over Gustavia harbor and the anchorage.

Villa Seglet is made for families or groups of up to 10 who love to cook outdoors. Gustavia harbor stays in view from almost every corner of this villa in Corossol, St Barts.
