Anse des Cayes is an elevated bay positioned almost exactly between St Jean and Flamands — two of the island’s best-known beaches, both a few minutes away.
What Anse des Cayes Is Like
The bay itself is used mainly by surfers and residents rather than sunbathers, and villas sit above it in elevated positions with ocean views rather than direct beach access. Villas here run six to seven bedrooms. What the area lacks in beach-step convenience, it makes up for in position — genuinely central to the north coast rather than committed to one beach village.
Getting Around from Anse des Cayes
St Jean’s restaurants and shops are a few minutes one direction, Flamands’ beach the other, which makes this a workable middle base for groups who want easy reach of both without a longer drive from further inland.
Who Anse des Cayes Suits
This area suits groups treating the villa itself — its views and pool — as the main event, with beach time a short drive rather than a walk. If swimming and sand time are the priority every day, Flamands or St Jean are more direct options.
