Beyond Luxury

The sleek geometric forms, chic interior spaces, and lush environs of Villa Neo would be at home in Beverly Hills; however, this uber-contemporary residence abides on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy: in the heights of Saint Jean, overlooking the prestigious hotel Eden Rock, the Bay of Saint Jean, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

Voted Best Private Villa at the 2018 Boutique Hotel Awards, this multi-level, 9,537-square-foot (886-square-meter) modern masterpiece was designed by architect Patrick Raffeneau, who harmonized its airy, multi-level interiors with vast glass walls to bring in the light and frame the limitless ocean views.

Every element of Villa Neo, custom-built by artisans and craftsmen, creates an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury and comfort. Its rooms are elegantly designed and enhanced with artworks. Rich natural finishes—wood, marble, and leather—add to that ambience.

The entrance to Villa Neo is a glass staircase, a work of art in itself, with a waterfall as the backdrop. An elevator also rises to the entrance hall, beyond which is a two-story living room that opens to an expansive terrace on one side and an interior patio on the other. The centerpiece of the terrace is a vast infinity pool that merges with sea and sky, with a swim-up bar and submerged seating, a barbecue grill, and a Jacuzzi shaded by palm trees.

The living-dining room is served by a fully equipped main kitchen, and, at the rear, a professional chef's kitchen.

The villa accommodates up to 12 guests in utmost privacy and luxury. There are six bedrooms: Two are on the main floor, next to the living room and pool terrace. The third bedroom opens to the patio and its serene tropical garden. Three additional suites are on the upper floor; each has a sumptuous bathroom, large dressing room, and private terrace to take in the spectacular sea views.

The villa offers an unrivaled suite of amenities for relaxation and entertainment. A soundproof nightclub with bar and billiards area; a fitness room; and a hammam with steam room are among the delights. There's also a media lounge, office, and private parking for seven cars.

A convergence of comfort, luxury, and refinement, this is Villa Neo, a jewel of St Barths.
