Villa Sea Horse

In Gustavia, Villa Sea Horse pairs the elegance of Caribbean houses, with white clapboard and outdoor staircases, with contemporary touches, set amid lush greenery. Upstairs, the air-conditioned living room with veined tiles, punctuated by colourful artworks, opens onto the terrace and views of the hills and glittering waters; the professional kitchen with its central island, the wine cellar and a large raw-wood table share the same open space. The covered terrace, laid with wooden decking, hosts outdoor dining and a lounge in the trade winds. Below, the heated pool runs the length of the façade, lined with sun loungers, and an open lounge leads to a tropical garden graced by a grey stone fountain. The four air-conditioned bedrooms, with silky textiles and warm wood, each have their own bathroom and sleep eight. Gustavia's harbour, boutiques and restaurants are close by.
