Lurin
Lurin sits on a hillside which gives anyone staying in one of its luxury villa rentals a sweeping view of the Caribbean Sea.
This neighbourhood is known for its privacy as it balances its tranquil residential charm with close proximity to Gustavia, the island’s vibrant capital. People seeking easy access to some of St. Barts’ most celebrated beaches usually stay in Lurin.
For travellers who want peace and quiet without sacrificing convenience, Lurin is one of St. Barts’ most desired vacation spots.
Beaches
Lurin boasts panoramic views of beaches and private seclusion more than it does beachfront property. But it sits only minutes away from several of the island’s most iconic stretches of sand.
To the south of it lies Gouverneur Beach, prized for its natural beauty, while Shell Beach and Saline are also just a short drive away. Guests staying in Lurin’s vacation rentals are in close proximity to these pristine beaches while at the same time they have the option to retreat into their private hillside home at the end of the day.
Dining & Nearby Options
It is primarily a residential area so foodies are encouraged to travel to Gustavia which is less than 10 minutes away, with everything from fine French fusion at Bonito to the lively atmosphere at Bagatelle.
The central location makes it easy to take a trip into town for dinner, then retreat back into its quiet hills. However, St Barthelemy villa rentals offers a free private chef and butler with every booking so you don’t have to leave your villa to enjoy a fine dining experience.
Things to Do
This neighbourhood is all about relaxing in the privacy of your own villa while taking in the stunning panoramic views. Whether you’re lounging by your villa rental’s infinity pool or watching the sun set over the harbour from your terrace, you’ll find peace and quiet here.
Yet, its convenient location does make it perfect for exploring: Gustavia’s boutiques, Shell Beach’s cocktails, and the sands of Gouverneur. Photographers will enjoy snapping shots of Lurin’s vantage points as it delivers some of the island’s most striking panoramas.
