Castaway to Villa Ride (villa code: WV RID), a contemporary 2-bedroom villa in Anse des Cayes, St. Barts. This airy villa tucked in the hills enjoys lovely ocean views, with its effortless and minimalist style ideal for a relaxing Caribbean getaway. The modern interiors at Villa Ride feature clean lines, superb attention to detail, and laid-back décor. Your gaze will be drawn immediately through the windows, where the striking blue of the ocean captures the imagination. All the creature comforts are available, with the furnishings providing you with idyllic spots to forget the rushes of modern life. Located in the hills above Anse des Cayes, Villa Ride puts the stunning natural beauty of St. Barts at your feet. Private and quiet, yet within a few minutes by car of the capital Gustavia, it’s the best of both worlds. The beach at Anse des Cayes is also a short drive away. The simple layout at Villa Ride is designed to help you relax as soon as you step inside. Airy, bright, and minimalist, the dark wooden furnishings contrast with the hues of white. At the heart of the home is an open-plan great room, with the living area and kitchen rolled into one, opening to the outdoor terrace. Quiet days inside reading a book or watching TV in the living room are wonderful. The graceful and comfortable sofas are as inviting as they come. A breakfast bar separates the living area from the large, modern kitchen at Villa Ride. It’s designed so that whoever is cooking can stay a part of the conversation in the living area. Otherwise, our concierge is also happy to organize a private chef for an evening, leaving you to sip a cocktail on the terrace, enjoying the views. It’s out here where you’ll find the long dining table, which has seating for up to six guests. That means that you’ll be able to entertain for meals as well, with the near-constant island breezes washing over everything and keeping things nice and cool. The 2 bedrooms at Villa Ride are similar to the rest of the home: tranquil, luxurious, and elegant. The all-white décor creates a peaceful atmosphere, one that’s ideal for recharging after your days exploring the beauty of St. Barts. The master bedroom is next to the living room, featuring a European king-sized bed and a spacious ensuite bathroom with a shower. A separate bungalow near the pool houses the second bedroom, which has a private terrace with seating. This bedroom also features a European king-sized bed and a large bathroom. The living spaces continue outside, offering plenty more spots to kick back and relax. There are two outdoor lounges, one in the sun and the other in the shade, that are excellent for reading, soaking up the island rays, and admiring the late afternoon light cast across the ocean. In front, a small wooden deck frames the T-shaped plunge pool, which can be heated over the winter. There are loungers for sunbathing, and a comfortable hanging swing chair as well.
