Summary:
Arc du Soleil was designed for guests to fully experience outdoor living on St. John, perfectly capturing the essence of the Caribbean lifestyle. The villa embraces the beauty of the island’s natural surroundings, allowing the tropical environment to become the most prominent feature and lasting allure of your stay.
This open-air design creates a uniquely tropical experience—one that brings the outdoors in and invites you to slow down, relax, and connect with nature in a way that can only be found in the islands.
We cordially invite you to come, unwind, and enjoy Arc du Soleil. 🌴
The Space:
Experience true Caribbean open-air living featuring magnificent native stone arches that frame a picture-perfect view of the Caribbean Sea—perfect for dramatic sunsets and unforgettable stargazing. The villa offers polished concrete floors, a spacious modern gourmet kitchen, and a beautifully designed primary bathroom with his-and-her vanities and a soaking tub—ideal for unwinding after a fun-filled day on the island.
The primary bedroom features a new Tempur-Pedic king bed, an en-suite bathroom with soaking tub, and an open hanging area for clothes in the bathroom. There are two additional guest bedrooms with en-suite baths. One is located on the main level with a Tempur-Pedic king bed, and the other is on the lower level with two twin beds that can be converted into a king, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups. 🌴
Guest Access:
BOOKVI will arrange for a personal greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a brief tour of the property, answer any questions about the home, and share helpful insights about the island. Check-in arrangements are tailored to your party size, arrival time, and familiarity with the area to ensure a smooth and welcoming arrival. 🌴
The Neighborhood:
With spacious decks and a large saltwater pool—which is gentler on your eyes, skin, and the environment—the villa offers the perfect vantage point to take in the spectacular views. From here, you can enjoy sweeping panoramas of Great Cruz Bay Harbor, across the Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas, and onward to the surrounding islands and cays, all while watching the endless Caribbean sunsets.
On especially clear days, you can even spot Vieques and the distant mountains of Puerto Rico on the horizon. 🌴
This beautifully landscaped island home, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, is just minutes from Cruz Bay’s shops, restaurants, and beach bars, and a short drive to the famous North Shore beaches of St. John.
For your beach adventures, Arc du Soleil provides several beach essentials, including chairs, an umbrella, beach towels, and soft-sided coolers, making it easy to enjoy relaxing days exploring the island’s stunning beaches. 🌴
