Villa Arapede Pointe Milou

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Villa Arapède is an architect-designed villa from the 1990s, ideally set on a cliffside with spectacular ocean views. Its prime location and natural surroundings make it a truly exclusive property. Built on an expansive 3,160 sqm plot, the villa features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its architectural design emphasizes natural light and showcases outstanding ocean vistas.

Pointe Milou is one of the rare neighborhoods in St. Barth that doesn’t include a beach. Instead, this primarily residential area is set among the volcanic cliffs above Lorient. The villas in Pointe Milou have stunning views and residents make the most of their perch above the St. Jean Bay, enjoying the sunsets from their decks.

With few restaurants or shops in Pointe Milou, most people drive to nearby Lorient or St. Jean for provisions or to head to the beach. But there is one establishment where people come from all over to visit: the island’s go-to night club, the hedonistic Le Ti St. Barth.
