Lao

Contemporary but not cold, the newly built Villa Lao (LAO) is a welcoming private retreat in the hills of Corossol, just a five-minute drive from the beach and ten minutes from the nearest town. Among the many comforts the luxury rental property offers are space and privacy—ephemeral things that are increasingly hard to come by in our modern age. But of course, the more tangible elements, like soft fabrics, alluring design, and top-quality finishes are in plentiful supply too. The combination makes for a perfectly relaxing stay on the island of St. Barth.

All right angles and white finishes, Villa Lao is also warm and inviting, with plush couches and cushions, woven throws laid across the beds, and softly hued wood turning up in the bedframes and floors. The layout makes the house ideal for groups of friends or families taking a Caribbean vacation together, as there are many corners for conversations throughout the villa, a professional-caliber kitchen, and bedrooms that each have their own private terrace and Jacuzzi. The views at every turn are astounding, especially at sunset. And Sibarth’s concierge can arrange to have the refrigerator pre-stocked with champagne—or have a private chef come in to cook a memorable dinner, or massage therapists to work their magic, or anything that might enhance your holiday.
