St. Barth's remote and unspoiled Toiny Bay is best known to surfers and the island's more intrepid visitors. The newly constructed Villa Casamia (TTM) is perfectly suited to this pristine region: a secluded oasis with a spirit perfectly in harmony with the beauty of its natural environment. Hidden away among the palms and flambouyant, just a short stroll from the beach, Villa Casamia looks out over the pristine and protected land of St. Barth's cote sauvage.

Relying on a gentle earth-tone palette and soothing textures, Villa Casamia exhibits a rare and coherent design aesthetic. An outdoor shower enclosed in bamboo, a Japanese tatami bed beside white curtains bathed in diffuse sunlight, the smooth grain of hand-carved Indonesian suar wood--such subtle design touches combine to create an extraordinarily relaxing atmosphere. You could enhance it with music, or simply enjoy the sound of the waves.

Villa Casamia's cleverly conceived layout creates a sense of openness and natural flow from one room to the next. From the main living area you enter the bedroom, where you can continue out onto the deck or through the dressing room to the outdoor rain-head shower, and from there back to the kitchen. The interior spaces are defined yet still fluid, perfectly melding with one another and with the outdoor environment.
