la Roche Dans L’Eau
Key Specifications
Villa La Roche dans l’Eau is a striking retreat overlooking the wild coast of Grand Fond, where sea, stone, and architecture unite in sculptural harmony. Its heated pool embraces a natural rock, its namesake “rock in the water”, creating a dramatic centerpiece framed by terraces, gardens, and sweeping ocean views. With three en-suite bedrooms, including a vaulted upper suite, and open interiors that flow effortlessly into nature, it’s a serene haven for design lovers seeking privacy and the elemental beauty of St. Barts.
Elegant 3-bedroom modern villa above the wild coast, with natural-pool inspiration & privacy
Villa La Roche dans l’Eau (aka “La Roche dans l’eau”) is a contemporary, artfully designed villa located in the Grand Fond / Toiny area. It fuses clean, stylish interiors with bold outdoor features, giving guests both seclusion and dramatic sea perspectives.
Architecture & Layout
The pool is designed to evoke a “rock in the water”, a sculpted form that integrates a natural rock into the pool’s edge and architecture.
The villa is built over two levels: the main floor houses communal and two of the bedrooms; an upper level (attic / vaulted) hosts the third, more private bedroom.
Sliding glass walls and terraces merge interior and exterior, making the sea view a constant.
Outdoor terraces wrap around the property, including covered and shaded zones for lounging and dining.
