Castaway to Villa Taniko (villa code: WV TAN), a stunning 3-bedroom villa located in Colombier, St. Barts. Hidden on the hillside, this luxurious Caribbean villa enjoys sweeping ocean views within minutes of the beach and shopping. Bright, spacious, and elegant, this is a home that embraces the chic lifestyle of St. Barts. The graceful interiors are clean and luxurious, with a contemporary mix of whites, blacks, and grays enticed by the island sun washing in at every turn. Tasteful artworks adorn the walls, enhancing the peaceful, tropical vibes on offer. With a fabulous location in the hills of Colombier, Villa Taniko is remote, private, and peaceful. Nestled in one of the quieter corners of the island, it’s an idyllic choice for a tranquil Caribbean getaway. Yet there are beaches within a 5-minute drive and the shops and restaurants of Gustavia around 10 minutes away. The interiors of Villa Taniko are bright and spacious, with a graceful open-plan design that encourages spending quality time together with family and friends. The living room connects with the large kitchen and indoor dining area, with all three spaces opening to the covered terrace with ocean views. The living room is an ideal setting to unwind during your stay, with soft white sofas inviting you to put your feet up with a cool drink. Rattan chairs add a distinctive island touch to the space, but it’s the gorgeous views that will capture the most attention from here. Next to the living room is Villa Taniko’s gourmet kitchen. The spaciousness of the area makes it great for social cooking, with a breakfast bar ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif as you prepare a meal. Or if you’d prefer, our concierge is happy to arrange a private chef for an unforgettable evening. When it comes to dining locations, guests of Villa Taniko are spoilt for choice. The indoor dining table in the kitchen is a great spot for quick breakfasts and snacks, while a second table on the covered terrace enjoys a peaceful, alfresco setting.  There are 3 bedrooms at Villa Taniko, luxurious spaces designed to help you relax after long days exploring St. Barts. Each bedroom is decorated with a separate color scheme. There are two bedrooms with king-sized beds, while the third room has a queen. The master suite enjoys ocean views and shares its bathroom with the second room, while the third bedroom enjoys a private ensuite. The outdoor spaces at Villa Taniko let you enjoy quiet days in the sun and shade, but it also suited to entertaining guests. The entire home is surrounded by lush, tropical gardens, creating a peaceful barrier to the outside world – you’ll feel as if you have the island to yourself. The covered terrace outside the great room enjoys an outdoor living area, a great setting for sunset drinks. Steps lead down to the pool terrace, where there are loungers lining the water for sunbathing and a second outdoor living area underneath a shady awning. The uniquely shaped pool resembles a nautilus shell and offers an easy way to stay cool in the heat of the day. To the side, a lazy hammock sways in the breeze, letting you drift off to the sounds of the rustling palms. During the December holidays, the villa rents at the full occupancy rate regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
