Aum

If you desire a luxury villa vacation, but you also want something utterly unique, the stunning Villa Aum may be just the answer. Resting above the waters of Mont Jean in St. Barts, it offers uninterrupted views of both Marigot Bay and Tortue Island. It is a flawless blend of modern style and soothing spaces that creates an almost Zen-like setting.

Unlike many villas, this hilltop retreat uses open spaces and mature palms to create a relaxing setting for the different outdoor living spaces. The long and elegant infinity edge pool stretches the width of the main villa and is framed at each end by a simple lawn furnished with round sun baskets. The covered terrace features oversized sun beds, and it all faces the sea. Around the corner of the terrace is the colorful al fresco dining area and the full-sized outdoor barbecue station.

The property is designed as a series of buildings with the appealing central courtyard stepping down to the main area of the villa. This is where the shared living spaces are found, including the remarkably modern and yet welcoming great room, dining room, and stunning kitchen.

The great room is open to the views, capturing the light and breezes, and uses a pale palette with bursts of sea blue and natural wood to establish a remarkably refreshing space. It is here that the living room and dining area are located. The kitchen is nearby, and it is a ultra-modern space with stainless countertops and high end appliances.

The bedrooms are all a good match to the style and quality of the shared spaces. They are all king suites that open to the views. Some are garden and some ocean terrace suites, and each is decorated in a unique blend of colors, though they all retain that soothing balance of dark, light and saturated hues. They have private baths, sitting areas, and entertainment systems as well.

These features make Villa Aum a wonderful retreat for groups or families, and it is sure to be an ideal holiday spot.
