Villa with pool Cruz Bay (U.S. Virgin Islands)
Set amidst thousands of acres of protected Virgin Islands National Parklands, Le Paradis stands as a rare sanctuary of unrivaled privacy, architectural distinction, and refined island luxury. Designed by a world-renowned team of designers led by Tony Ingrao of Ingrao, Inc. and Mario Nievera of Nievera Williams Landscape Architecture in partnership with Kevin Qualls of US Virgin Islands-based Springline Architects, this architectural triumph is a recently rebuilt tapestry of exquisitely curated spaces interwoven throughout a sprawling tropical oasis. Offering panoramic views of St. John's iconic north shore as the central feature of an expansive 16,000 sq. ft. indoor-outdoor living experience, Le Paradis is a retreat of exceptional comfort, craftsmanship, and sophistication. Designed to serve as a self-contained, full-service luxury retreat, Le Paradis offers a guest experience rivaling that of the world's most revered five-star resorts. The estate features six elegantly appointed guest suites, each with spa-like en-suite baths and breathtaking views of the surrounding seascape, along with expansive indoor and outdoor lounging spaces offering intimate relaxation or grand scale entertaining. A state-of-the-art home theater brings cinematic luxury to the heart of the home, while the private wellness center, complete with commercial-grade spa facilities, a fitness suite, and dedicated areas for meditation and rejuvenation, elevates the experience of tranquil indulgence. A testament to masterful craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail, Le Paradis was meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with its natural surroundings while embodying an uncompromised level of comfort and luxury. Every element of the estate has been thoughtfully intentional, from the interplay of scale, texture, and light to the flawless arrangement of bespoke interior elements and world-class finishes. The villa's architectural language is a refined blend of classic Caribbean vernacular and contemporary luxury, resulting in a residence that is both timeless, charismatic and effortlessly sophisticated. Hand-selected materials including locally sourced stone, marble quarried from Italy, custom polished sycamore cabinetry designed by St Charles Kitchens, and exquisite fixtures throughout from THG and Gessi enhance the estate's aesthetic appeal, while floor-to-ceiling glass frames dramatic views of the surrounding seascapes from every room. The estate also includes two large executive offices designed for a healthy work-life balance, as well as dedicated staff accommodations to ensure effortless hospitality while maintaining absolute privacy. Enhancing both convenience and accessibility, Le Paradis is one of the few residences on St. John to feature a private elevator, quietly connecting every level of this remarkable home with ease. Crafted with a thoughtful emphasis on attaining maximum privacy, Le Paradis' landscape architecture features a meticulously curated selection of specimen trees, thoughtfully adorned with generous splashes of colorful flora and professionally designed lighting placements to bring the experience to life after sunset. Notwithstanding its ultra-private locale, the estate is just a short walk from the palm-fringed white sand of Cinnamon Bay beach and mere minutes from the vibrance and convenience of nearby Cruz Bay. Beyond its stunning design and world-class amenities, Le Paradis is built to an uncompromising standard of quality and durability. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, including Savant home automation, fully integrated Lutron lighting, and a state-of-the-art home theater with studio-quality projection, acoustics, and seating, the estate is both intuitively functional and impeccably refined.
