Cypraea is a relaxing Flamands villa overlooking the Caribbean Sea. In nature, a cypraea is a type of sea animal adorned by a beautifully designed cowrie shell. Cypraea aims to honor its namesake with modern interiors, elegant furnishings, and gorgeous tropical views.

A tiled sundeck wraps around the villa’s common areas and pool. An extended awning provides shade for al fresco dining and grilling. Loungers sit beneath the island sun around the pool and dining area. The villa’s pool stretches across the deck and enjoys the perfect sunset view. An outdoor shower is hidden near an exterior staircase, and a ladder rests against the gate for guests to dry their towels and swimsuits. Sliding doors open to Cypraea’s warm, modern living and dining rooms. A neutral color palette anchors the space, and a flatscreen TV provides entertainment. Vaulted ceilings mimic the boundless blue sky, which pours into every window throughout the space. The villa’s kitchen is fully outfitted with sleek appliances, an espresso machine, a coffee maker, a juicer, a blender, and an ice machine. The interior is also fully air-conditioned for guests’ ultimate comfort.

The villa’s architecture is spread across two levels, with each bedroom in a separate bungalow with exterior access only. One bedroom enjoys a queen bed and the other enjoys a European king. Both suites feature WiFi, programmable safes, screened windows, and private access. Ensuite bathrooms with rain head showers, hair dryers, and dressing rooms complete each space. The European king suite also enjoys its own terrace, and the queen suite has an HDTV.

Cypraea’s residential location near Flamands beach and restaurants makes it the perfect vacation rental for two couples or a group of friends. Flamands Beach sits three minutes away, and all the hustle and bustle of Gustavia is within a ten-minute drive.
