Villa Marcel is our homage to the famous French painter Marcel Duchamp, an inspiration to us at Luxe St Barts. Aside from the usual luxe features of this villa, you will find a nod to Duchamp in the triptych in the living room, and his famous painting “Descent of Stairs” in the master bedroom overlooking the swimming pool. A stone mural above the kitchen with the words “Marcel” nails the theme for emphasis.

That aside, this stunning six bedroom villa located in the heights of Anse des Cayes is just five minutes walk from the beach, and close to the Manapany hotel. It is the perfect location with just a five minute car ride from Gustavia, St Jean airport, Niki Beach, Eden Rock and Gypsea. So it’s right in the thick of things, but is also a tranquil retreat from it all. That’s its dual charm.

The villa has a stunning indoor/outdoor centre, and the bedrooms are spread out around like a compound, each with their own remarkable view of the ocean and simple, stylish decor inside. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a large king size bed (2 mx 2 m), a desk, a dressing room and a bright bathroom.

There is a long lateral kitchen (along with a second back kitchen for large groups) that opens up to the incredible outdoor deck with infinity edge pool that always delights and wows. There is also a TV lounge adjacent to the kitchen for movie night and socializing. Typically this one of our most popular villas with its mix of chic, artistic design, and stunning deck and edge pool. It is really a pleasure to be in, such is the spaciousness and outdoor/indoor vibe.
