The closest easily accessible beach is Anse Des Flamands (10 minutes), but the other beaches, including St Jean, with all its beach bars and watersports. are not much further to drive.
La Fleur Sur La Mer has a large infinity lap-pool (heated in winter) with a magnificent view. The pool surrounded on three sides by a spacious sun deck which runs the full length the villa and has areas for both sun bathing and dining. The master bedroom, which is located off the main deck, has its own private sun deck which has a heated spa pool. |

Locality
La Fleur Sur La Mer is set in large, gated grounds in Colombier, which is quite a ‘local’ area of in the hilly north-west of St Barths. Along the ridge top are two bakeries and close by is a hotel with an excellent dining room (Francois Plantation). There is a handful of restaurants, some in the hotels, on Flamands beach, but otherwise it is about equidistant (about five minutes drive) to Gustavia, with all its shops and restaurants, and St Jean, with its beach and shops (and a handful of restaurants too). |

Useful Hints
Your housekeeper will visit on the morning after your arrival and arrange with you what time you would like your villa to be cleaned each day. They will change bed linen at least twice a week and towels normally every other day. A personal laundry service is not provided. There is a laundromat and a dry cleaning service in St Jean. If you want, it is possible to arrange an evening turn-down service as well (at extra cost).
Sibarth, Wimco’s sister company on St Barths, will provide a general concierge service when you are on island (t 29 88 90). In addition they are happy to provision your villa in advance of your arrival. A standard arrival pack with sufficient supplies for your first evening and breakfast will include a roast chicken, ham, cheese, pastries, juices and fruit, plus beverages. You can also provide Sibarth/Wimco with your own specific provisioning requirements or they can arrange the services of a chef. |

Airport Meet & Greet
When you arrive at the airport you should (turn right and) go to the Sibarth counter, which is among the car hire stands. Almost all guests hire a car and pick it up at the airport. Assuming you have rented one in advance, your name will be on one of the car rental boards, and so after you have collected it you will follow a member of the Sibarth staff to your villa. He or she will then settle you in, explaining how everything works and giving advice about the island – anything from where to buy groceries and which beaches to visit, to which restaurants to dine at. |

Getting Around
A hire car is essential for a private villa holiday in St Barths. Although everything is quite close at hand, taxis are hard to come by on the island and anyway a car will be useful for visiting the beaches by day and of course when you dine out at night. Book a car via your travel organiser or direct with Europcar and Gumbs Car Rental. Both companies have outlets at the airport and the standard procedure is to pick the car up on arrival. A Sibarth representative will then guide you to your villa. It is easiest (and standard practice) to leave the car at the airport on departure. Please be aware that at the height of the season, particularly over Christmas and New Year, the cars become very booked up, so it is necessary to book it at least a month in advance. |
