Lurin is the hillside directly above Gouverneur, on the road climbing south out of Gustavia, and home to some of the island’s largest villas.
What Lurin Is Like
Every property here is set into the slope with panoramic ocean views and no direct beach access. Villas run four to nine bedrooms, with several of the larger houses sleeping up to eighteen guests — among the biggest available on the island. Houses sit spaced apart along a quiet residential road rather than close to their neighbors.
Getting Around from Lurin
Gouverneur and Saline are both a short drive down the hill from Lurin, so a beach day means loading the car rather than walking down.
Who Lurin Suits
The scale of Lurin’s villas makes it a common choice for several families taking one large property rather than splitting across two, and for groups who want space and privacy as much as sand. Guests wanting beach access from the villa itself should look at Flamands or Lorient Beach.
