How to make the most of your villa rental in St Barts


A strong espresso on the terrace, warm trade winds drifting through linen curtains, and the sea glittering just beyond the pool. A villa in St Barts is more than a place to stay — it’s a way of living. But beyond the architecture and views lies something even more memorable: the freedom to shape your days exactly as you please, with the island’s best experiences brought right to your door.

Here’s how to elevate your villa stay into something exceptional — whether you’re here to unwind, entertain, or explore.

Your private concierge: the invisible luxury that makes it all flow

What sets a true luxury stay apart in St Barts? Not just the setting — but the seamless experience behind it. That’s where your personal concierge comes in.

Included with every booking at Unique Villas St Barth, your concierge becomes your island connection: discreet, resourceful, and always two steps ahead.

From the moment your flight touches down in Juliana or St Barth, every detail can be handled:

  • VIP airport transfer and assistance with luggage
  • Fridge pre-stocked with your favorites
  • Restaurant reservations at Bonito, Le Tamarin, or Zion — even during the holidays
  • Booking a trusted babysitter for a night out
  • Or finding a last-minute kite instructor when the wind picks up

Spa rituals at home: wellness in your own rhythm

Why drive to a spa when the spa can come to you?

In-villa treatments are one of the most requested services — and for good reason. Imagine starting the day with a full-body massage on your shaded deck, while the sea glimmers in the distance and birds call from the hillside.

Here’s what’s possible without ever leaving your villa:

  • Morning yoga with a certified instructor from Salines
  • After-sun hydrating facials using local aloe and French products
  • Deep-tissue massages with warm stones at golden hour
  • Full-day spa rituals for couples or groups, including scrubs, wraps, and essential oil therapy

Many of the island’s best practitioners are independent and available for private sessions. Several have trained in Paris or New York, but now call St Barts home — combining global technique with local soul.

Tip: Book wellness sessions in advance during peak periods (Christmas, New Year, February), especially if you’re after specific practitioners.

Charter a day (or more) at sea

If you do one thing during your stay, make it a day on the water.

Whether you prefer a sleek Axopar, a classic sailboat, or a fully staffed catamaran, the coastline of St Barts — and its nearby islands — reveals its magic by boat.

A typical bespoke charter might include:

  • A morning departure to the quiet cove of Île Fourchue for snorkeling
  • Lobster lunch onboard, paired with Provençal rosé
  • Afternoon paddleboard session in Colombier Bay
  • Sunset cruise back toward Shell Beach, with music and champagne

Some guests opt for overnight experiences — sleeping aboard near Anguilla or exploring St Kitts for two nights. Your concierge can organize it all: customs paperwork, onboard chefs, dive instructors, even sunset DJs if that’s your vibe.

Looking for something family-friendly? There are boats with safety nets, shaded lounge areas, and water toys to keep younger guests entertained all day.

Host an unforgettable evening — without ever leaving home

Want to celebrate something special? Or just gather your friends in style?

Your villa can be transformed into a private event space, tailored to your taste. No crowds, no schedules, just your setting, your people, your playlist.

Depending on the mood, the concierge can arrange:

  • Chef-led tasting menus or beachside barbecues
  • Sushi and Champagne nights with live saxophone
  • Cocktail mixologist with a custom drinks list
  • Soft lighting design, florals, and even fire dancers

The villa is your universe — make it yours

There’s no wrong way to enjoy St Barts, but there is a more intentional, elevated way. With the right team around you — and a villa that feels like your own private resort — everything becomes effortless.

Craving a barefoot lunch delivered to your pool? A private art tour in Gustavia? A candlelit yoga session after the kids are asleep?

Your villa is more than a space. It’s a blank canvas for experiences that stay with you long after you’ve left the island.

Ready to start planning? Let your concierge know how you’d like your St Barts days to feel — and let them handle the rest.
