Strange Beds, Fantasy Environment Come With Wimco's Over-the-Top Modern Villa on St. Barts

. October 14, 2008

NEWPORT, RI, August 2005. One of travel's pleasures is awakening in a strange bed. One of the pleasures of renting a villa is awakening in a strange bed surrounded by a d'ecor sensibility completely the opposite of home.

Imagine a solitary palm overlooking a gray infinity pool accessed by a covered terrace leading womb-like into the house's interior, designer white chaises, a tropical garden path to a private coconut grove accessing a marine nature reserve that invites snorkelling

Villa SIB GRO in Marigot is a European-architect-designed, hi-tech, minimalist concept of clean lines, natural materials and top quality finishes such as bleached teak woodwork, lava stone, Balinese pebbles and cembonit floors, teamed with the inspiration of a color range from Mia Zia, and beautiful modern Italian furniture. The rooms (3 bedrooms) are all dove gray, each with a different vibrant color accent: bougainvillea pink, tangerine orange, ocean turquoise, banana leaf green.

The kitchen is a gourmet cook's delight, with top of the range equipment, Smeg gas hob and oven, two enormous stainless steel fridges and two Miele dishwashers. An Italian designer dining table inside mirrors that on the shaded terrace.

Based on the number of bedrooms requested, the weekly rate through mid December (Thanksgiving not available) is from $7,000 to $10,000; and $14,000 to $17,000 from early January through mid April 2006.

Many St. Barts villas that are exclusively represented by Wimco, the Newport, RI, and London-based luxury vacation villa and hotel reservations company, have been completely renovated; and there are several brand-new properties to tempt visitors away from the falling leaves and beyond.
