The simple fact is when in Rome…or Paris…or London…or Dubai, the most luxurious accommodations can be found in these cities’ renowned 5-star hotels. But that’s not always the case when it comes to living large on St. Barths.
Now, please, don’t get me wrong. Of course there are plenty of amazing luxury hotels on the island, including Le Sereno. But no island I know of has a higher density of exquisite villas, views, and pools available to rent for a special Caribbean getaway than St. Bart’s. No other resort destination I’ve seen has a higher density of sophisticated rental and management companies and concierge services to ease the process either.
That’s why full-service villa rental companies like Wimco Villas, Sibarth Bespoke Villa Rentals, St. Barth Properties, St. Barts Blue Luxury Villa Collection, and others continue to thrive.
Each company brings its own insider twist to matching the right villa with the right client. The Warburton family has owned Wimco Villas since 1985. They’ve been traveling to the island from New England for generations and the company provides similar services in other destinations as well. Sibarth Bespoke Villa Rentals is based on St. Barths and has been managing villa rentals since 1975. St. Barth Properties can help you book a villa and a hotel while the St. Barts Blue Luxury Villa Collection is based in North Carolina.
Maybe the most important thing to consider is your concierge service. In addition to helping you find a villa, each company can help you rent a car, book a restaurant or spa appointment, find a chef to prepare your meals, and meet your flight upon arrival. But they’ll each do things a little differently, so take my advice and…try them all.
