The villa Palm Beach: transformation of one of St. Barts' most famous villas

Nestled in a haven of unspoiled nature, villa Palm Beach is undeniably one of the most prestigious villas for rent in St. Barts. Recently enhanced by a year and a half of extensive renovations led by renowned architect Johannes Zingerle and his firm, Design Affairs, this property harmoniously blends luxury, modernity, and authenticity.

A beachfront villa in Lorient Bay

Built on one level in 2011, directly on the beach, this exceptional residence of approximately 350m² offers a rare and priceless advantage: immediate proximity to the sea, with your feet in the water, in a setting that is both intimate and inviting.

Designed for total immersion in the exceptional environment of St. Barts, it was created to fully embrace the outdoor spaces and the island's rhythm. With no visual barriers, guests can enjoy a majestic living room that opens onto a vast terrace, extended by a stunning pool lined with coconut trees, seemingly blending into the horizon.

In keeping with tropical luxury, the villa is adorned with pristine tones, fine woodwork, and refined marble, offering a timeless elegance that perfectly complements the gentle surrounding landscape.

Its five sumptuous bedrooms, four of which offer breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and one overlooking the garden, invite contemplation and serenity. Designed for epicureans, the property is ideal for family getaways or gatherings with friends, in a chic and relaxed atmosphere.

An exceptional renovation by Johannes Zingerle

Carried out by Johannes Zingerle's firm, Design Affairs, the renovation of villa Palm Beach was a true feat, overcoming ambitious technical challenges.

Pool extension

Among the major transformations, the pool was extended by 6 meters to reach an impressive length of 20 meters, creating a seamless visual connection between the water and the ocean horizon.

Complete redesign of the outdoor spaces

The renovation also focused on the outdoor areas, with the addition of an IP wood pergola, providing optimal sun protection while blending seamlessly with the existing architecture.

The exterior façades, originally made of concrete, were enhanced with wooden cladding—a subtle mix of African iroko wood and IP wood—for greater durability and refined aesthetics.

The outdoor furniture, tastefully selected with pieces like Meridiani loungers and Tribù furnishings, embodies both comfort and prestige.

Selection of premium materials

The choice of materials was made with meticulous attention to detail to ensure the success of this renovation.

Exteriors:

• IP wood cladding, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
• African iroko wood, synonymous with warmth and elegance.

Interiors:

• Teak woodwork, adding timeless sophistication.
• IP wood flooring, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
• A luxurious marble jacuzzi, reflecting the refinement of the spaces.
• A fully redesigned kitchen with marble countertops, combining elegance and practicality.

African-inspired decor

Villa Palm Beach now features African-inspired decor, reflecting the tastes of its current owners.

These influences are evident through various subtle decorative touches and the delicate presence of bold wallpapers, even in the walk-in closets, giving the entire space a unique personality.

The roof covering, inspired by Balinese design, adds a soft and warm ambiance to the property.

Creation of a tropical garden

Once surrounded by sand, the villa is now embraced by a lush garden, a green oasis that enhances the property's tropical atmosphere, creating a true sanctuary of tranquility. The careful selection of plants ensures a perfect balance between greenery and open space, with a variety of palm trees and exotic plants that amplify the island charm of the residence, allowing it to live up to its name—villa Palm Beach—even more proudly.
