Nestled gracefully on the Marigot hillside, this captivating villa unveils a magnificent panorama of the Grand-Cul-de-Sac lagoon and the verdant hills beyond. Originally conceived with a distinctive South American flair for the legendary Mikhail Baryshnikov, this fully renovated residence now offers a radiant atmosphere, reminiscent of a refined hacienda. Its thoughtful design, characterized by numerous elegant openings and alcove doors, invites the island's natural light and gentle breezes indoors.

Here, a private swimming pool (3 x 7m) awaits, complemented by an outdoor shower and comfortable deck chairs, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the bay. This is an ideal spot for alfresco dining, with a teak table and barbecue allowing for memorable meals under the gentle caress of the trade winds. Further enhancing the outdoor experience, a traditional ajoupa provides a shaded outdoor lounge and an additional dining area, perfectly positioned to capture the tranquil tropical surroundings and stunning views.
