Marlice

The main living spaces open generously onto the terrace, allowing indoor and outdoor life to flow naturally together. A beautifully appointed living room and dining area face the water, while two kitchens include a professional kitchen designed for a private chef as well as a second kitchen for guests. An interior lift connects the different levels of the villa, adding another layer of comfort to a house where seemingly every detail has been considered.

Outside, Marlice becomes even more remarkable. A large infinity pool finished in deep blue tones stretches along the broad teak terrace, almost visually merging with the sea beyond. Sun loungers and generous sitting areas create places to spend the day outside, while yachts moving across the water become part of the view. As evening approaches, the villa’s western orientation brings the sunset directly in front of the house.

Steps lead down through the rocks towards the water and a lower beach-club area, creating an unusually intimate relationship with the sea for a villa in Gustavia. It is this vertical journey - from the bedrooms and terraces above, past the pool, and down towards the water - that gives Marlice much of its distinctive character.

The four ensuite bedrooms continue the same refined approach to materials and craftsmanship, with king-size beds and beautifully finished bathrooms. Three open onto their own sea-view balconies, allowing the water to remain present even in the villa’s most private spaces.

Wellness has also been thoughtfully integrated into the house. A fully equipped fitness room has an extraordinary glass window looking directly into the pool, while a dedicated massage room provides a separate space for treatments and relaxation.

Perhaps Marlice’s greatest pleasure is the contrast it offers. Gustavia is just outside, with its harbor, restaurants, boutiques and energy, yet at home the experience is dominated by water, sunsets and the movement of boats across the horizon. Few villas allow guests to experience these two sides of St. Barth quite so completely.

With Sibarth’s concierge team arranging private chefs, restaurant reservations, yacht charters, in-villa wellness and personalized island experiences, Villa Marlice offers a particularly distinctive way to experience Gustavia - sophisticated, beautifully crafted and with the sea quite literally at its feet.
