From the moment you pass through the private gate, a breathtaking tableau unfolds over the turquoise waters of Tintamarre, Pinel, and Baie Orientale, framed by rolling hilIs and the shimmering horizon. Step onto the expansive terrace, where the glistening heated pool with its sun ledge offers the perfect spot to unwind, morning or evening.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the villa's large gas and charcoal grills, an alfresco bar area, and multiple spaces for dining or lounging while watching boats drift into the harbor below.
Inside, Villa Five Minutes More exudes elegance and comfort in equal measure. The grand foyer opens to an airy great room with dramatic two-story windows framing the endless blue beyond. Under the soaring arched ceiling, plush seating invites relaxation, while the fully equipped gourmet kitchen complete with a gas stove and high-end appliances makes cooking and entertaining a joy. Open the wide doors to the balcony to feel the gentle trade winds and take in the moonlit views of Oyster Pond Bay.
Designed with privacy and comfort in mind, the villa's American-style layout separates guest suites across two levels. Each suite features an en suite bathroom, refined furnishings, and ocean-facing balconies or patios. The Chairman's Suite and Summer Wind Suite embody understated luxury with sweeping views, while the Nauti Suite offers a tranquil retreat for quiet moments.
