ST. BARTHS
Villa Sauvage (WV MJP)

This 6 bedroom home offers sweeping views of Pointe Milou, a tucked-in neighborhood that many love for its privacy. Enjoy a daily walk around the area, or take advantage of its fully adorned workout room.
Those looking for utter privacy will find it at this 5 bedroom home, nestled in the private (and gated) Domaine du Levant neighborhood of Petit Cul de Sac. With your own gym, a private tennis court just for neighborhood residents, and close proximity to stand up paddle at the beach, this villa makes staying active easy!
In the hills of Gouverneur, above one of the most cherished beaches on island, wake up to turquoise waters each morning, but enjoy a large deck and a lengthy swimming pool, ideal for at-home workouts and laps every day.
This three bedroom is just minutes away from the convince of Lorient, with grocery stores and a calm beach. The home offers chic, comfortable interiors and a deck great for sunning. Take advantage of its air conditioned workout room when you’re in need of a heart rate boost.

ST. MARTIN
Located in one of the most desirable spots on St. Martin (Terres Basses), this villa will truly make you feel like you’re on vacation. Bathrooms have views of outdoors, and you’re a skip away from your own tennis court. More of a gym person? That’s cool, too. You have your own!
MUSTIQUE
Ideal for two couples traveling together, this two bedroom is a perfect entree into Mustique. The tropical setting with views of the nearby Grenandine Islands inspires practice lunges or Warrior Ones on the deck overlooking L`Ansecoy Bay.
