Exuding elegance and calm, extraordinary Villa Jade is one of St. Barts most desirable and unique properties. Just as the stone it is named for signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility and increases love and nurturing, this exotic 8-bedroom marvel will soothe all of your senses, bringing you peace and a sense of abundance. Located in Marigot on the island’s rugged, remote northeastern side, Villa Jade is the epitome of luxury: large enough to accommodate a group of 14 in dreamlike comfort while offering privacy, warmth and intimacy. From the moment you arrive you know you’re in for something special: a sitting Buddha beckons you across a wooden bridge traversing a Koi-filled lily pond and leads to an etched sliding glass door. Walk through and find yourself ensconced in the home’s remarkable central room and awed by the breathtaking view of Marigot Bay beyond. It is hard to decide where to look first amid all of Villa Jade’s delights. It is Asian-themed throughout: in addition to unique art and carvings, you’ll find red lacquered kitchen cabinets and abacus-inspired bathroom furnishings, pottery and photos and furnishings that so delight and inspire that you almost forget the view of St. Barts. The property’s generous size and layout ensure privacy while the central living space inspires conversation and conviviality. The plush seating area overflows into the sleek, professionally-equipped kitchen and its breakfast bar that seats eight, while the property-wide outdoor living space features an expansive covered dining area, upholstered chaise lounges, seating areas including a hammock and an enormous infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The main house offers a three-bedroom wing that is perfect for families with children, with a master bedroom with its own en suite and two additional bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom. The five other bedrooms are housed in separate pavilions, with each suite uniquely and lavishly decorated and offering its own en suite bathroom, outdoor shower and ocean view. A multi-level layout provides the flexibility to accommodate family, friends or staff. In addition to living space, outdoor space and private quarters, Villa Jade also features an air-conditioned, fully-equipped gym furnished with free weights and multiple exercise machines, a fitness studio appropriate for training, meditation and yoga, and a steam shower and sauna room and private bathroom. A home cinema decorated with Japanese lanterns and offering 7 enveloping lounge chairs offers the ability to screen 5,000 available movies that can also be screened in the bedrooms. Add to all of Villa Jade’s indulgences the wide array of concierge services offered by One St Barts and you truly have the ultimate in a luxurious, private escape: from dinners prepared by the island’s premier chefs to arranging for private yacht excursions or spa treatments, it’s always our goal to combine the very best properties with the very best services.
