Villa Amitie sits in the Gouverneur area of St Barts, about a minute from Gouverneur Beach and its turquoise water. The villa faces a wide view over the bay, and its private terrace looks out to the ocean.
The layout is split between two buildings. The main house holds two master bedrooms, the spacious living room and a professional kitchen; a guest house holds the other three bedrooms. All five rooms are air-conditioned with televisions and en-suite bathrooms. The beds are king size, and two of them can be converted to twins, which is useful for children or friends sharing.
For downtime there are two heated swimming pools, a fitness room, a massage space and a wine cellar, plus Wi-Fi and U.S. satellite TV. The villa is spread across several levels, so expect steps between the houses and terraces.
The agency service that comes with the villa includes concierge assistance seven days a week, welcome amenities on arrival, daily housekeeping, pool and outdoor maintenance, and help with restaurant and excursion reservations. Chef service is listed, but sources differ on whether a chef is included in the rate or arranged on request, so we confirm it with your quote.
The split layout is the main thing to weigh. It works well for two families or a group that wants privacy at night, but if you are traveling with young children who need to sleep near their parents, check which rooms you would use: the three guest-house rooms are in a separate building from the two masters.
