Villa AFRICAN QUEEN is a property located in Grand-Cul-de-Sac in a magnificent environment. Its views over the lush vegetation and the reflections of the lagoon look like artworks in this house inspired by the African treasures that its owners have brought back from their travels. Luxurious and spacious, the vacation rental villa AFRICAN QUEEN welcomes groups of up to eight people for an unforgettable stay in St-Barths.
In the heart of the tropical beauty, villa AFRICAN QUEEN was built on one level over three buildings. The living room opens onto the terrace and offers large spaces to relax in the mild St-Barths’ air. Fully air-conditioned, the lounge is furnished with soft sofas, whose brown hints are also found in the woodwork and the terrace. The dining room can accommodate up to eight guests around a table which opens onto both the front and the back of the villa. The view over the lush vegetation of the large garden creates a delightful exotic scenery you’ll love enjoying during your dream stay.
At the front of villa AFRICAN QUEEN, the terrace opens onto the garden planted with flowering shrubs such as bougainvillea, and palm trees. Under the covered area, a wrought-iron table welcomes guests to dine al fresco in front of the long, beautiful swimming pool sparkling under the sun, as the clear lagoon appears through the foliage. There are deckchairs near the pool, as well as a very private space on the exotic-wood terrace accessible via a staircase, for unique moments in a private environment. Under the parasol, it is the perfect place to sip a cocktail and enjoy the Caribbean gentle trade winds.
The vacation rental villa AFRICAN QUEEN consists of four air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. All are furnished with king or queen size beds and open onto furnished terraces to enjoy the evening air. Two of the bedrooms are in the main building, while the other two ones are in independent bungalows, the fourth of which features a kitchenette. Even more charming is the romantic décor, since the chiseled furniture, pastel colors and light sheers provide a fine touch of softness.
Only a few minutes from Grand-Cul-de-Sac lagoon, villa AFRICAN QUEEN is the perfect place for a stay of up to eight people in the traditional Caribbean beauty.

How many people can stay in a villa booked ?

Villas typically limit occupancy to double occupancy per bedroom, allowing only 2 guests per bedroom. While it may be feasible to include one additional guest beyond the listed maximum occupancy, approval from the owner is an obligation. Additional guests may incur charges for an extra rollaway bed and/or surcharge. Each property has its own set of regulations and requirements.
Please be aware that infants and children are counted as guests and should be included in the total party size. It is important not to assume that children are exempt from the guest count when making reservations.

What is the minimum stay in a villa ?

Usually, villas require guests to stay for a minimum of 5 to 7 nights. This is due to the extensive time, costs and resources needed to prepare the property for the next guest, a process that differs significantly from hotels. Consequently, villas necessitate longer stays compared to hotels.
During the Christmas and holiday seasons, villas may enforce a minimum stay requirement of up to 14 nights.
Occasionally, properties may consider waiving the minimum night stay requirement if your travel dates are within 45 days or fit into an availability gap.
Please do not hesitate to contact our reservation team if you have any questions.

Can I wash my clothes at the villa ?

Each of our villas is equipped with a washing machine, and the majority also feature a dryer. However, these appliances are primarily designated for use by the housekeeper for household laundry tasks, with a few exceptions. Notably, villas in St. Barts typically do not provide accessible washers or dryers.
Access to these appliances is generally restricted due to liability concerns and insurance policies. Misuse of the washing machine and dryer can result in flooding and other liabilities, hence the restriction is in place for the mutual benefit of our guests and villa owners.
Recognizing the importance of having laundry facilities available during your vacation to lessen packing burdens, the housekeepers are typically willing to assist with your laundry needs for a nominal additional fee, which can be arranged during your stay at the villa. We also recommend reaching out to your concierge to inquire about the possibility of accessing these facilities.
