Welcome to SPLVRGE, where we invite you to Vacation Bigger.
Inspired by the sleek elegance of 1960s Southern California and the visionary architecture of Dame Zaha Hadid, Villa Palm Springs (GEM) radiates with a clear aesthetic ideal. This extraordinary property takes the traditional West Indies "case" design - a simple one-story structure with four walls and a pyramidal roof - and transforms it into a work of art. The roof is elevated above the living space, creating a stunning separation, while the kitchen, living/dining area, and master bedroom suite form a free structure beneath the peaked roof. This unique "cube within a cube" is strategically angled to face the west, drawing attention to its independence and guiding your gaze towards the mesmerizing blue horizon.
Step inside Villa GEM and be captivated by its expansive living area and kitchen, seamlessly connected to the terrace, pool, and breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. Thanks to ingenious floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, two entire walls disappear, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Adjacent to the living area, a beautiful hardwood dining table, sheltered by a cantilevered roof, invites you to gather for memorable meals. During the morning, this space provides a cool sanctuary from the sun, while basking in sunlight throughout the afternoon. As evening falls, the well-placed recessed and indirect lighting creates a warm and inviting ambiance. The wide deck surrounding the infinity pool offers both sun-drenched chaises for relaxation and a shaded seating area nestled amidst a lush garden of bougainvillea and coconut palms.
Continuing the exceptional design, the master bedroom suite showcases custom cabinetry in Brazilian wenge wood, polished concrete floors, and carefully curated lighting. The ensuite bath features facing Jack and Jill vanities and a pebble-stone tiled, rain-head shower. The three additional bedrooms, each with its own private bath, embrace the stylistic influence of the master suite, reimagined in different color schemes. Throughout the villa, the woodwork and upholstery exude a modern interpretation of 1960s lines and form, perfectly suited for the tropical setting. And for a touch of cinematic allure, one of the bedrooms offers a picture-window view into the crystal-clear water of the infinity heated pool. Additionally, a newly added 5th bedroom with an ensuite bathroom awaits on the lower level.
Villa GEM seamlessly blends tropical immersion with sophisticated design - think palm trees and sunsets alongside white-leather upholstery and Slim Aarons photographs. It is the embodiment of its owners' dream - an exceptional home in an exceptional Gouverneur location, one of the most desirable spots on the island.
As a special treat, enjoy a daily continental breakfast during High Season (except on Sundays) to start your day off on the right note.
At SPLVRGE, we take pride in offering our discerning clients the brilliance of Villa GEM, where impeccable design and exquisite comfort meet in perfect harmony.
