High atop the northeastern Atlantic-facing hills of St Barts, you’ll find Pointe Milou, one of the island’s most coveted residential neighborhoods. Pointe Milou villas blend into this dramatic landscape in a way that elevates this natural beauty all the more.
Originally known only to fishermen and the adventurous, Pointe Milou’s reputation grew with the St Barts tourist boom of the 20th century. As the island’s reputation for luxury grew, so too did the demand for properties that offered the utmost in privacy and natural harmony.
Today, Pointe Milou villas honor this legacy by offering sublime stays that allow you to connect with nature, your fellow guests, and yourself.
Renting a luxury villa in Pointe Milou is easy with Rental Escapes. First, choose your travel dates. Next, choose your party size. From there, your Rental Escapes Villa Specialist will happily present you with the best available Pointe Milou villas for your group.

With its rugged cliffs and dramatic vistas, Pointe Milou stands out among St Barts neighborhoods as a true fortress of serenity.
Pointe Milou is characterized by a microclimate that makes its flora and fauna different from the rest of the island. It’s especially lush, with moist breezes keeping the area cooler than others. That alone makes it one of the most comfortable spots on St Barts.
Pointe Milou is also home to a series of hidden trails that snake around the cliffs. Perfect for long walks, these trails often give way to secluded patches of oceanfront land that are ideal for meditation or yoga. You can also catch several species of tropical birds that you won’t find anywhere else on the island.
With its high cliffs and volcanic rock formations, oceanfront Pointe Milou villas offer dramatic views that will elevate your stay – especially at sunset. They include:
