Views
Villa O has magnificent views over Flamands Beach, the uninhabited Îles Chevreau (billy goat), Frégate and Toc Vers. Most of all, over the endless deep sapphire blue of the open Atlantic. It's at this point of St. Barthélemy that the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic - land's end until Africa to the Northeast (Mauritania, 4,300km / 2,700 mi). Your worldly cares quickly dissolve as you watch the infinite variety of billowing cloud formations.
Reality Stops Here
At Villa O, each day brings a different miracle . You'll enjoy inspiring, peaceful sunrises from 6:00 am and lovely sunsets from 6:00 pm over the open Atlantic. The magic potion of sun, breathtaking views, warm water and constant trade winds soon works its potent cure. The first wonderfully carefree day blends into the next, then a third, punctuated only by the most deep, restful sleep. Time slows. You're now uncertain which day of the week it is. Nor longer care.
