VILLA LES AMIS DU VENT MONT JEAN, SAINT BARTHÉLEMY
fter a long winter, spring on the North Shore always brings a welcome shift in mood. Lake Michigan sparkles again, patio season (slowly) returns, and conversations naturally turn to summer plans.
HILLTOP HAVEN IN ST. BARTS Perched on a promontory above the Caribbean Sea, Villa Les Amis du Vent spans 3.8 acres in the exclusive Mont Jean neighborhood of St. Barts. The home blends Mediterranean influences with the island’s traditional architectural style, with arches and columns framing views of the sea, Tortue Islet, Anse Maréchal beach, and Marigot Bay. Inside, pale gray and white living spaces lead to three spacious en suite bedrooms, each with a private outdoor shower. Arched doors in the living room open to the sundeck and heated pool, while the fully equipped kitchen connects to a covered terrace for lounging and alfresco dining.
For some, the promise of warmer weather means a familiar getaway to Lake Geneva or Harbor Country. For others, the imagination stretches a little farther — to tropical escapes that feel worlds away. In that spirit, we’ve rounded up a collection of sun-drenched properties from across the Christie’s International Real Estate network. From a private island in the Bahamas to a striking contemporary villa in Mauritius, these retreats (available as of writing) are the epitome of barefoot luxury. So whether you’re looking for the ultimate escape or a little travel inspiration, your passport to paradise begins here.
