About
Anse du Gouverneur is a south-facing bay reached by a steep road over the hills behind Gustavia. There are no hotels and no beach clubs on it, just sand and open water. Villas here divide between elevated positions on the slopes above the bay and quieter inland houses a short drive from the sand, most in the four- to six-bedroom range. The elevated sites trade direct beach access for long views south, where the neighbouring islands are visible on clear days.

Villas here run four to six bedrooms, split between elevated hillside sites with long views south and quieter houses set back from the bay on flatter ground. There are no shops, restaurants, or beach clubs on Anse du Gouverneur itself, so most guests bring lunch down to the beach and plan on driving out for dinner — Gustavia’s restaurants are the closest cluster, about ten to fifteen minutes over the hill.
Because the bay has no built-up frontage, the beach itself stays uncrowded even in high season. It’s a good match for guests who want a real beach day without the beach-club scene of St Jean, and who don’t mind that the villa itself, rather than the beach, is the base for meals and downtime.
Good to Know
No — Anse du Gouverneur has no hotels, beach clubs, or restaurants directly on it, which is part of why it stays quiet. Dining out means a short drive, mostly toward Gustavia.
Both exist: elevated hillside villas with long views over the bay, and quieter inland houses a short drive from the sand. Check each villa's own access notes for its exact position.
About ten to fifteen minutes by car over the hill.
Six bedrooms is the top of the range here; guests wanting a larger group villa should also look at Lurin or Mont Jean.
