Carette

Nestled in the hills of Lorient, St. Barts, Villa Carette is a charming colonial-style 2-bedroom retreat offering breathtaking views of Lorient Bay and the nearby islands of Île Toc Vers, Île Frégate, and Île Bonhomme.

Surrounded by lush palms, cacti, and vibrant tropical flora, this secluded property ensures unmatched privacy. Inside, warm hardwood accents, rattan furnishings, and cool terracotta tiles create a soothing and inviting atmosphere. Thoughtful island-inspired décor, from seashells to repurposed glass bottles, enhances the villa’s tropical charm.

The villa’s great room sets the tone for a relaxing stay, with dark wood furnishings complementing the terracotta floors. The entire space seamlessly opens to the covered terrace, blending indoor and outdoor living in true Caribbean fashion. The living area features several plush sofas and rattan chairs, all oriented toward the spectacular ocean views. The sound of the waves rolling onto Lorient Beach below provides a tranquil soundtrack, perfect for unwinding with a cocktail in hand.

Adjacent to the living room, the newly-renovated galley-style kitchen is well-equipped for effortless meal preparation. Just outside on the covered terrace, a dining table with seating for six offers a stunning setting for alfresco dinners overlooking Lorient Bay.

The two spacious bedrooms are located in a separate bungalow, accessible from the outdoor terrace. Each room features a luxurious king-sized bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Ceiling fans and air-conditioning provide a cool retreat from the warm Caribbean air. For larger groups, Villa Carette can be rented alongside the nearby Villa Tortue, offering a total of three bedrooms exclusively during the festive season.

At Villa Carette, life is best enjoyed outdoors. The covered terrace extends from the living area, with comfortable seating overlooking the dazzling Caribbean waters. Enjoying a refreshing island drink as the sun dips below the horizon will quickly become a cherished ritual.

Just steps away, the inviting infinity pool stretches toward the edge of the terrace, offering a serene oasis to soak up the sun or float in the refreshing water all day. Sun loungers line the poolside, with nothing but the sounds of the ocean and swaying palm trees completing the scene.

For those craving the sea, Lorient Beach is just a few minutes away by car. Protected by a coral reef, its calm waters make it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Nearby, St. Jean’s lively beach scene and the quiet, unspoiled shores of Marigot Bay Beach are both within a five-minute drive, offering the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility.;

This villa is completely wheelchair accessible.  

During the Thanksgiving and December holidays, the villa rents at the full occupancy rate regardless of how many bedrooms are used.
