Villa Costa Nova St Barts

Costa Nova: Panoramic Ocean View in Gouverneur

Costa Nova looks out on the ocean. The villa’s position on the Gouverneur hillside frames a direct, panoramic view over the Caribbean Sea, where the distant silhouettes of St. Kitts and Saba punctuate the horizon. This vista is the defining feature, a constant backdrop that shifts from brilliant daytime blue to the spectacular evening drama of the sunset.

It’s a view you’ll find from nearly every room, designed to pull your gaze outward across the water and sky. The visual character is one of open, airy engagement with the landscape, where the traditional white and green architecture sits comfortably within the surrounding greenery, focused entirely on that expansive seascape. Inside, the living space is built around that view. High, pitched ceilings with exposed white-painted wooden beams amplify the sense of volume and light, a classic Caribbean architectural touch. Whitewashed walls form a bright, neutral canvas, allowing the vibrant colors of textiles and the warm tones of wood furniture to stand out. The layout is an open-plan great room where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together without barriers. You’re delivered into this breezy central space, where clear sightlines connect the indoor comfort to the outdoor terrace and the ocean beyond.

Multiple doors from the living area open directly onto the deck. A ceiling fan circulates the air, and the space is equipped with a TV and Dish Network satellite service for downtime. In one corner, a small, furnished office nook with a desk and chair provides a dedicated spot for any necessary work, connected to but separate from the main lounge area. The furniture mix here is eclectic and cozy: plush white sofas and armchairs are present, while wicker seating and a unique woven chair add island texture. The kitchen continues this bright, personalized charm. It features a distinctive yellow and green tiled backsplash set against wooden cabinetry, with a wooden bar counter subtly separating the cooking space from the living area. It’s well-equipped for preparing anything from a simple snack to a full meal, with a microwave, a coffee machine, an espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. Positioned as a natural hub for indoor dining, a four-person table provides a convenient link between the kitchen and living area. The overall atmosphere is one of cheerful, relaxed ease, where the vaulted ceiling and open plan encourage you to unwind while staying visually connected to the stunning setting outside.

Two bedrooms occupy the villa, positioned on either side of the central living area for optimal privacy. Each room opens directly onto the outdoor terrace, allowing the ocean breeze and the view to flow inside. Bedroom 1 serves as the primary suite. It features a king-sized bed measuring 6.56 by 6.56 feet, and visual observations note a four-poster canopy frame, often draped with white curtains or a mosquito net for a classic island feel. The view from this room is a direct ocean panorama, the same scene that defines the living area. The room is fully equipped with air conditioning, a mosquito net, a safe, a TV, US satellite service, a DVD player, and Dish Network. Its ensuite bathroom includes a spacious shower and is distinguished by notable tilework; one bathroom shows a striking blue and white geometric pattern with a glass block window, adding a vibrant, artistic touch to the private space. Bedroom 2 offers flexible sleeping arrangements with a bed that can be configured as a king or as two twins, each also measuring 6.56 by 6.56 feet. It mirrors the first bedroom in its privileged outlook, offering the same ocean view and direct terrace access. This room is also equipped with air conditioning, a mosquito net, a safe, a TV, US satellite service, a DVD player, and Dish Network. Its ensuite bathroom provides a spacious shower and features its own distinctive material character, with warm terracotta tiles laid in a diamond pattern for a rustic, earthy ambiance. Both bedrooms provide quiet, private retreats where you can recharge at the end of the day, lulled by the breeze and the sound of the distant sea.

The outdoor terrace is where villa life truly unfolds, designed for soaking up the sun and savoring the legendary sunsets. At its center is the swimming pool, a heated rectangle measuring 13.1 by 23.0 feet, lined with loungers for basking in the Caribbean light. The water’s temperature is always comfortable, inviting you in for a swim at any hour. Adjacent to the pool is a separate white hot tub, a Jacuzzi that becomes a prime spot for an evening cocktail as the sky begins to change color. A plush lounge space, situated on the terrace's perimeter, creates an ideal environment for pre-dinner drinks or informal meals outdoors. Here, you can fire up the gas barbecue for an alfresco meal. The villa’s sound system, including Wi-Fi and CD capabilities, allows you to set the soundtrack to your day. Come evening, this area becomes a privileged vantage point for the sunset, where the sea and sky merge in a vibrant display of crimson, amber, and golden light stretching toward the distant islands.

Costa Nova is located in the desirable area of Gouverneur on St. Barts. The villa’s hillside setting provides both tranquility and convenience, with Gouverneur Beach just a few minutes’ drive away.
