Introducing Villa Secret Garden, an exquisite retreat of opulence and serenity, formerly known as "Joy" and meticulously renovated in 2023. Tucked away in the scenic Gouverneur hillside, this villa provides a perfect sanctuary, just a 5-minute drive from Gustavia and a short stroll from the pristine Gouverneur beach. Boasting a prime location, it seamlessly blends convenience with the tranquility of a secluded locale, offering awe-inspiring panoramas of the sea.
Secret Garden, a ground-floor haven, is crafted for your ultimate comfort and pleasure. The primary section features an open kitchen, a dining space, and a snug living area equipped with an American channel and a Sonos sound system. Effortlessly transition between indoor and outdoor living by opening the sliding doors to invite in the refreshing island breeze. The terrace beckons with a second dining area accommodating 8 people and a convenient bar. Strategically placed sunbeds surround the pool, providing the perfect spot to bask in the sun while enjoying the mesmerizing ocean views.
Venturing through the villa reveals access to each bedroom from the main deck. The first suite, the largest at 60 m2 (the Master), is located at the far end of the property. It features a king-size bed, a television, a desk with a view of the azure horizon, a spacious dressing room with a safety box, a bathroom with a shower and separate toilet, and an enticing outdoor shower and private jacuzzi.
The second bungalow, facing the pool, comprises two similar suites, each boasting a king-size bed, a smart TV, a private bathroom with shower and toilet, a closet, and a safety box. Both suites offer enchanting views of the swimming pool and the sea.
The fourth bedroom, newly constructed in 2023, is positioned at the entrance of the property and can be accessed from the main terrace. It matches the comfort level of the other rooms but features a private terrace corner for added privacy.
For those inclined towards an active lifestyle, fitness equipment, including a bench, dumbbells, a bike, an elliptical machine, and a rowing machine, is conveniently placed on the deck, allowing you to exercise while reveling in the breathtaking views.
Throughout the villa, the ever-present sea view serves as a tranquil backdrop to your stay. Both indoor and outdoor dining areas, along with a barbecue, are available for gatherings with friends and family, creating delightful culinary experiences.
