Embrace the island life at Villa Asian Pearl (villa code: WV MJS), a luxurious 1-bedroom villa located in Flamands, St. Barts. Within minutes of the beach and shopping, and with views over the nearby islands of Île Toc Vers, Île Fregate, and Île Bonhomme, this hillside villa is an excellent choice for a Caribbean getaway. Clad in a tropical style, the interiors at Villa Asian Pearl are soothing and glamorous, letting you sink into the laid-back pace of life on St. Barts. Sophisticated living spaces feature views over windswept cliffs and turquoise bays. Only 2 minutes away by car is Flamands Beach, one of the widest stretches of sand on the island. The beach, high-end shops and restaurants in Saint-Jean are just a short drive away. With a design inspired by the jungle villas of Bali, the interior of Villa Asian Pearl overflows with island charm. Natural light illuminates the vaulted wooden ceilings and slate details, while oriental décor and antiques enhance the calming Oriental atmosphere. The spacious living room faces the ocean view, best taken in from the large and plush sofa. It’s also an excellent spot to sink in and unwind with a good book, a drink, or a movie on the large wall-mounted TV. The well-equipped kitchen at Asian Pearl Villa has beautiful hardwood floors and sleek, stainless-steel appliances. Our concierge can even organize grocery pre-stocking or delivery, catered meals, or arrange a private chef service for a special occasion. A breakfast bar inside is a nice place for a morning espresso or casual meal. More romantic dining can be had outside on the terrace, where a table has space for up to 4 guests. The air-conditioned bedroom is elevated from the pool, accessed by a set of stairs. Inside the oriental design continues, with dark wooden furnishings and a clean, minimalist style. A king-sized bed promises a peaceful night’s sleep. The entire bedroom opens onto a private deck with a table and chairs, making this an ideal setting for a late-night drink and some stargazing. On the other side of the bedroom, the spacious ensuite has an outdoor shower with ocean views. Back on the main level, a large, shaded terrace area is home to the outdoor dining table and a gas grill. Island-style cookouts are best hosted in the early evening when the sunset casts golden light across the ocean, sky, and islands. Stepping out from under the shaded deck leads you to the infinity-edge swimming pool. Slipping in here during the heat of the day is divine. Sunbeds lining the water let you dry off in style, basking in the warm island rays. One of the island’s more picturesque beaches, Flamands Beach, is just a short drive away from Villa Asian Pearl. This sun-soaked stretch of sand features crystalline waters and attracts many surfers when the swell is up. A 5-minute drive in the other direction brings you to the beach at Saint-Jean, where calm waters are home to colorful corals and marine life. For larger groups, Villa Asian Pearl can be rented with Villa Sauvage (villa code: WV MJP), a 3-bedroom villa on the same property.
