Six-bedroom clifftop villa above Anse des Cayes' surf break
Coeur de Pirate is a six-bedroom villa on the rocky north-coast shelf above Anse des Cayes, a surf beach rather than a swimming one. The draw here is the elevation and the glass: an infinity pool and full-height windows keep the Caribbean Sea in constant view from the open-plan living space. With six en-suite bedrooms sleeping up to twelve, it works better for multi-family groups or larger parties than for a couple wanting a quiet corner — the scale is built for a full house.
Best for families and friend groups
Anse des Cayes is the surf coast — a working stretch on St Barts’ north shore where the swell draws local riders more than sunbathers, and Coeur de Pirate sits above it on a shelf of rock rather than a strip of sand. Six bedrooms, an infinity pool, and floor-to-ceiling glass mean the water is always in view, even if you’re not stepping straight off a terrace onto a beach towel.
The layout runs open-plan behind limestone floors and full-height glass walls, with the pool positioned to read as an extension of the sea beyond it. Twelve guests can be housed here across six en-suite rooms, which puts this villa in the range for two or three families traveling together, or a group that wants everyone under one roof rather than scattered across the island.
The living space runs open-plan across limestone floors, with glass walls on the ocean-facing side that fold the view into the room rather than framing it through windows. A separate media room gives the group somewhere to close a door on movie night, and the dining area sits adjacent to the main lounge for six-bedroom-sized gatherings. Wi-Fi is strong enough for guests working remotely during a longer stay.
The infinity pool is the anchor of the outdoor space, cut into the terrace so the edge disappears against the sea beyond it. Several separate terrace zones break up the outdoor footprint — one for sunbathing, one for shaded lounging, one set up for evening drinks — rather than a single undifferentiated deck. A covered lounge area handles the group's evening hours when the sun drops.
All six bedrooms are en-suite. The primary suite has its own private terrace facing the water, which sets it apart from the remaining five, each fitted with blackout shades and enough storage to unpack for a full stay rather than live out of a suitcase. The room count and layout suit multiple couples or families sharing rather than a single household.
Anse des Cayes sits on St Barts' exposed north coast, known locally for its surf break rather than calm swimming water — worth knowing if guests are picturing a walk-in beach day. The villa is positioned on the shelf above the water, so what you get is a wide, uninterrupted sea view rather than sand access. It's a quieter part of the island than Gustavia or St Jean, with the trade-off being that a car is the practical way to reach restaurants and shops.

No — Coeur de Pirate sits on rock above Anse des Cayes, a surf break rather than a sand beach. Guests get an elevated, unobstructed sea view and an infinity pool on-site; walking down to sand requires driving to a swimming beach like Flamands or Colombier.
Yes for anyone who surfs — Anse des Cayes is one of St Barts' known local breaks. It's less useful for guests who specifically want calm, swimmable water right outside the villa.
All six bedrooms have private bathrooms. The primary suite adds its own terrace with a direct sea view, which the other five don't have.
With six en-suite bedrooms and space for twelve guests, it's built for multiple families or a larger party sharing the house rather than one couple wanting an intimate stay.
