Nestled above the beach at Grand Cul de Sac, this home overlooks the shimmering turquoise waters and lush green hills. Best of all, the beach and shops are within an easy walk. Villa Minou is spread across several levels and pavilions, blurring the line between indoors and out with grace. The main great room combines the living area and dining table, a gorgeous space to gather with family and friends during your stay. The air-conditioned living room features modern, traditional furniture, a great place to kick back and let your hair down. Plush sofas are as comfortable as they come, ideal for sinking in and relaxing with a cool drink as soon as you arrive. To the right of the main living area is a separate pavilion with Villa Minou’s kitchen. Functional and charming, it’s a great space to prepare meals as a group. Our concierge is also happy to organize a visit from one of the island’s private chefs. The kitchen opens to an outdoor covered dining table with stunning views over the lagoon below. It’s a gorgeous tropical setting for a meal with family and friends, enjoying the fresh island air and sparkling water below. A second dining table is on the covered terrace outside the living area overlooking the pool. There are 4 bedrooms across Villa Minou, quiet and relaxing spaces for some downtime. There are three bedrooms on the main level, all with ensuite bathrooms and direct access to the main terrace with gorgeous views. The fourth bedroom is in a separate cottage below the main house, featuring a small kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. Three of the bedrooms have king-sized beds, and one has a pair of twins that can be made into kings. The gorgeous terrace at Villa Minou wraps around the house, offering plenty of space in sun and shade whether you’re looking to entertain guests or spend a quiet day relaxing. There’s a swinging hammock on the covered terrace, while loungers line the pool for sunbathing in the island rays. If things get too warm, it’s as easy as slipping into the cool water, with the infinity-edge offering gorgeous panoramic views. Completing the outdoor area is a lounge in the sun, well-suited for late-afternoon cocktails and entertaining guests. During the December holidays, the villa rents at the full occupancy rate regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
