About this property

ASTRAL VILLA - stunning views, starry nights, privacy, salt water pool and more

Absolutely stunning down island views and warm tropical breezes… Private island living at its very best.

Astral Villa offers traditional West Indian charm with understated elegance. The villa is nestled on a verdant hillside with an incredible, ever-changing Caribbean view, tropical breezes, and magical night sounds with stars galore. Enjoy coffee and a stunning sunrise from any of the private outdoor nooks. Bask in the sun poolside with an afternoon rum delight... And witness the moonrise or the galaxy of stars above from one of our 2 spas. Whatever the time of day, the sea and sky present a stunning array of colors for you to enjoy. Watch the storm clouds roll in over the down islands and produce breathtaking rainbows.

With 3 separate ensuite bedrooms in 2 very separate pavillions, our lushly landscaped property offers ample privacy for 2 couples... and adequate privacy for 3. Alternatively, families with older children will love having separate sleeping accommodations, with a communal living and dining space for together time. With covered nooks for reading or snoozing, and expanses of patio or deck for sunning, there is space enough for all.

Our pricing is tiered, meaning that a couple pays less than a group of 4 or 6. Yes, you still have the entire property to yourselves, but we don't charge for the bedrooms you don't use! And we LOVE hosting couples - with a location so private, you don't have to worry if you forgot your swimsuit (!), the villa is ideal for honeymooners, babymooners, anniversary trips, or just because.

And while Coral Bay is the "quieter" side of St John, you will find quaint shops, wonderful local, laid back restaurants, and well stocked grocery stores. A quick 10 minute car ride takes you to the world famous North side beaches. Or choose one of the less frequented beaches closer to home - Hansen Bay, Haulover, Salt Pond Beach... all with fabulous snorkeling. Honestly, there are more beaches on this little island than a 1 week's stay will make possible. They all have their different vibe and features - it's hard to pick a favorite.

In the mood for world class dining? Just make a reservation at one of the many fabulous restaurants in Cruz Bay. Whatever your fancy, St John has it, if you take the time to look.

And if you prefer eating in, we have a fabulously outfitted kitchen and a new grill for you to cook up a storm. Grab some fresh fish down the hill at Calabash Market, some fresh greens from Josephine's, and you'll save yourself a bit of cash and have more time to enjoy the night stars from one of the 2 whirlpool spas. Champagne optional.

OH. And yes, we would be remiss not to mention it's a bit of an adventure the first time you drive up the hill and down the driveway. But when you see our view from Calabash mountain, you'll understand... some things are just worth it. And hey, after the first time, the drive really isn't all that bad. Promise.

You will love your stay, just wait and see.

Amazing!
Absolutely amazing! Pictures do not capture the beauty of Astral Villa. Our family of six had the best time. The natural beauty is breathtaking. There is so much to do in this little pocket of paradise. We hiked Rams head, chartered a boat to snorkel in remote areas, snorkeled/swam at the local beaches with evenings enjoying open mic at nearby restaurants. Although that being said, we could have stayed at Astral Villa with the spectacular views, space to relax and read, two kitchens, hot tub and pool. The spacious accommodations are magnificent, impeccably clean, with attention to details you can’t help but appreciating -all you could need and more. First class all the way!! Thanks for an unforgettable vacation!

Most beautiful view
The view from every patio, window and porch is stunning! The kitchen is well equipped and grocery store is close by at the base of the hill. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding and linens fresh and nice quality. The interactions with host and property manager were prompt, pleasant and helpful. The instructions prior to stay were clear and made the stay go smoothly. The drive to the villa requires 4wd. We had a Ford Explorer to fit our group but would have been easier in a Jeep. Recommend the Jeep rental if possible.

Beautiful Villa
We totally enjoyed our stay in this total open air Villa. The view is unbeatable and the gardens around the Villa are the prettiest. We also loved the hermit crabs and geckos and iguanas. We fondly called it our Treehouse Villa. Bob was helpful and prompt without feeling intrusive. This Villa is tastefully decorated. We were very comfortable no matter where we relaxed on this property. Would highly recommend this villa.

Came for the 8 Tuff - what a beautiful place!
Astral Villa is spectacular - it is beautifully designed and decorated - we absolutely loved it. Getting there is an adventure - but that’s true for most really beautiful places. This was our first time staying on Coral Bay and we loved it. You definitely need a Jeep to get around, but there are plenty of local restaurants and markets that are close by (Johnny Lime’s, Pizza in Paradise, Skinny Legs etc.) We also discovered Francis Bay and Hansen Bay this trip - two beautiful beaches that are worth a visit. We had a chef come cook dinner at our villa two nights - that was really special. It’s such a gorgeous location - having dinner cooked for us at the Villa was really a treat. I loved the open air design of the villa and having the communal area to gather in. We will definitely be back - Astral Villa is a special place!

Perfect week in Coral Bay
Astral Villa was by far the most beautiful property we have ever been lucky enough to vacation at. The views were spectacular, the house was open-air, understated and beautiful -- a perfect island retreat. We loved the separate bedrooms, with a large living, dining and kitchen area to spend time together. The house was super clean, and the kitchen really well appointed. It was also great to have the market right at the end of the street, and a sufficient number of restaurants nearby that we could eat on our way home from the beaches. Both the hostess and the property manager were incredibly helpful before, during and after our stay. The only problem was that eventually we had to leave! We would stay again in a heart beat. Thank you, thank you!

About the host

Host profile image
When we made the decision to purchase on St John, Astral Villa was love at first sight. The incredible proximity of sea and sky from the terrace, combined with the charm of the West Indian layout and the solid construction seemed too good to be true. We feel fortunate to have found such a special property, and we know you will feel how exceptional it is within minutes of your arrival.

Why they chose this property

We aren't a big corporation where our Guests get lost in the shuffle... we are small and focused on our Guests' experience. Our aim is that your St John villa stay is the best it can be by offering personalized service, and making sure our villa is equipped with all the niceties that make your stay memorable. From local guide books, fish ID cards, high end SandCloud beach towels, digital meat thermometer, various sizes of frying pans, Roku and a soundbar, to binoculars and bird feeders... we want you to feel relaxed as you take in some of the most beautiful views on St John...

What makes this property unique

We are beyond lucky to have an amazing property manager who has lived on St John for many decades, who knows the villa inside and out, and who is familiar with all things St John. And on the off-chance that something needs attention while you’re here, he lives in the Calabash 'hood and will have it all under control in no time. Not all villas have such close and personal management, and he sets us apart from other villas in our opinion, truly.
