Villa Cactus

High above Colombier, Villa Cactus pairs its clean, modern style with a panoramic view over the bay of Gustavia. Beneath immaculate walls and vaulted ceilings, the vast, airy living room gathers sofas and armchairs with yellow and blue cushions; beyond it, a large kitchen in pale wood and anthracite is arranged around a central island. Everything opens to the outdoors, where the dining table, set in front of the living room, faces the ocean. Outside, the pool with jets and its sand-coloured floor is lined with loungers on a whitewashed deck, with the port of Gustavia below; an outdoor lounge looks out over the ocean and neighbouring islands. The three air-conditioned bedrooms, with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, sleep six: two in the main building with ocean views, the third in a separate bungalow opening onto a mineral-style landscaped garden. An address for a couple, a small family with children over 10, or friends.
