Of course, Villa Amethyste is also a good choice for nature lovers, who will find plenty to admire in the breathtaking view of the Petit Cul de Sac sea from the pool, main terrace and lounge, and in the smooth integration of the covered terrace into the rocky slopes of the quiet eastern part of the island. Young palm trees add green to the stone landscape. It is a welcoming and relaxing environment.
The two bedrooms, each located on either side of the living room and dining room, are of equivalent size (each with an inside shower and an outside shower and a double vanity), one of the bedrooms is equipped with a king size bed. The second of two double beds can be transformed into a king size bed or remain as it is for a family. They are spacious and minimalist, making the house easy to share for two couples as well. The large lounge, with its modern and refined tones, opens onto the terrace with its large heated swimming pool.
Villa Amethyste is very well equipped. On the ground floor there is a sports hall to stay in shape, even on holiday, and there is a cinema room with a sofa bed. What better way to watch a movie once the sports sessions are over? After the effort comes the comfort. This level also includes a separate bathroom with shower.
But as with many luxury villas in St Barts, your life here will be free of charge outside. The main terrace has an overflow pool overlooking the bay, with many deckchairs and sofas nearby, and the terrace of the dining room arranged with a table and chairs offers a captivating setting for outdoor meals or a barbecue evening.

Beaches
There are fourteen beaches on St. Barths, all blessed with gleaming white sand. Few are crowded, even in peak season.
Shell beachThis beach is a short walk from Gustavia, and the scene of many weekend festivities. Restaurant Do Brazil is on the beach.
Gouverneur beachIt's a bit of a drive to get there, but the reward is a feeling of remoteness and privacy.
Saline beachWhile
nudism is officially forbidden in St. Barths, it is most likely to be
practiced here. Happily, this beach is a favored haunt of the most
comely women and the most handsome men
Toiny beach
This beach is popular with surfers. Yet it is not recommended for swimming as the currents are strong.
Petit Cul de Sac beach
Because of the depth of the bay, and the size of the fringing reef, the water here is usually quite calm.
Grand Cul de Sac beach
This
beach borders a shallow, well protected bay, and the water is warm and
relatively calm. There are several restaurants and hotels on this beach,
as well as a windsurfing rental station.
Marigot beach
Edged
by coconut palms, Marigot Beach is a tranquil nature reserve with
beautiful crystalline waters ? ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Lorient beach
This beach, popular with local families, is also a great surfing spot.
St. Jean beachSt. Jean actually has two beaches, separated by Eden Rock.
Anse des Cayes beach
Favored by surfers, due to the usual onshore breeze, and adjacent to the Hotel Manapany.
Flamands beachThis
long and deep beach can have impressive rolling surf during the winter
months. though swimming is rarely hazardous. Hotel St. Barth Isle de
France and La Langouste are handy for lunch or a drink.
Colombier beach
This
beach is still called "Rockefeller's Beach", because, for many years,
David Rockefeller owned the property that surrounds it. It is a popular
Sunday picnic spot for local folk, who traditionally camp out for the
night during Easter weekend.
Corossol beachThe fishing village behind this beach remains a typical example of the traditional style of local life.
Public beachThis beach is ideal to start the activities of sails.

give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of
local life...
Carefully curated selection of activities and excursions are designed to highlight the Island.
Motor Yachts and Jet Skis
If
sailing is not your cup of tea, but you still want to experience a trip
on the ocean, there are other ways to go. First, you can rent a
motor-boat with or without a captain from 17' to 55'...
Sailing
What
is more relaxing and enjoyable than a sailing trip? Several rental
agencies and a few private boat-owners offer you outings with a crew,
for a day or a half-day or more...
Submarine Trips
Travel
six feet beneath the surface of the sea, in safety and comfort, and
gaze upon the breathtaking abundance of colorful sea life that lives in
and around the Marine Park of Saint Barth.
Sports
St. Barts offers many opportunities to work up an appetite, from of course water sports to a all range of other activities:
Scuba Diving
Lessons and guided tours with SCUBA, with a mask and snorkle or even on a submarine.
Surf and windsurfing
Several
bays, notably Lorient and Anse des Cayes, have suitable wave forms that
are often dotted with slender, bronze enthusiasts.
Kitesurf
Grand Cul de Sac, Toiny and St Jean have suitable wind an area to practice Kitesurf.
Deep Sea Fishing
From big game charter boats: marlin, sailfish, tuna, etc., to dangling a string off the dock.
Tennis

Volley Ball

and peddle boats, available on the beaches of Saint-Jean and Grand
Cul-de-Sac, can take you away to mysterious caves and cliffs...
Hiking and Horseback riding
Provided
that you choose heavy-sole shoes, wear a hat and sun-screen and take a
bottle of water, hiking is a good way to discover St. Barts. The most
famous path will take you from Petite Anse to the stunning bay of
Colombier in fifteen minutes walk. That beach can only be access by sea
otherwise. But you can also climb up to the top of the island, Mount
Vitet, 286 meters high, or you can tour the Toiny Point... Vegetation on
various windward places grows like bonzaïs, tough tiny trees leaning
away from many years of strong gusts of wind. The dry forest shelters
botanical treasures, orchids, rare cactuses, beds of white lilies... But
you shoud be aware that all the lands being private, you can sometimes
be kindly asked to walk back on your steps by owners not willing to see
their properties trespassed. The Tourist bureau has a small document
showing some hiking itineraries.
Shopping

duty free port, and shoppers will be delighted with the range and
number of shops: from a shaded table by the side of the road, to the
