The boutique concierge agency adds Villa Marlice, Villa Omai Zile, Villa Ahava, Villa Natacha, Villa Manoir Voltaire, Maison Blanc Bleu, Villa Aura and Villa Nanne to a collection of more than 70 named properties across St Barts, expanding its reach among families and groups seeking large estates with full concierge support during the island’s December-April high season.<\/div>\n

GUSTAVIA, St Barts — Oct. 20, 2026 — Art de Vivre Villas<\/a>, a boutique agency run by two founders who serve as a single point of contact from booking through departure, today announced the addition of eight villas to its curated portfolio. Founded and run by Dorian and Alexis, the agency pairs its properties with full concierge service at a five percent fee, below the 12 to 15 percent charged by larger operators for comparable service. About 80 percent of its clientele comes from North America, with the remainder split largely between France and other markets including Brazil, Switzerland, Germany and the UK.<\/p>\n

The eight new properties, including Villa Marlice, Villa Omai Zile, Villa Ahava, Villa Natacha, Villa Manoir Voltaire, Maison Blanc Bleu, Villa Aura and Villa Nanne, extend a portfolio that already spans neighborhoods from St Jean and Gustavia to Colombier, Flamands and Lurin. The agency lists more than 70 under its own curated collection, each screened for privacy, ocean views and high-end amenities before being added. Among the new additions, Villa Marlice<\/a> is the one the founders point to first, calling it the newest standout in the collection.<\/p>\n

“We are a growing agency, and we added these eight villas because more of our guests, especially travelers from the United States, are asking for a big luxury villa in St Barts rather than a smaller property,” said Dorian, co-founder of Art de Vivre Villas. “Villa Marlice is the one I would call the newest gem of the island. It is already one of the villas guests ask about by name.”<\/p>\n

Every booking across the expanded portfolio includes the agency’s standard concierge package, covering airport VIP transfers, private chef bookings, day-trip yacht charters on smaller boats, restaurant reservations, grocery pre-stocking, babysitting and car rental arrangements, along with housekeeping six days a week and welcome gifts on arrival. The agency also guarantees a response time of 24 hours or less to new inquiries, including last-minute requests.<\/p>\n

“That is why we stay boutique even as the portfolio grows,” said Alexis, co-founder of Art de Vivre Villas. “Every guest in one of these new villas deals with the same two of us they would for a two-bedroom rental, with one consistent point of contact throughout the stay.”<\/p>\n

Weekly rates across the full portfolio range from roughly $4,000 to $500,000 depending on the villa, season and size, with the same property often costing twice as much in high season as in low season. The newly added estates are now listed on the Art de Vivre Villas<\/a> website alongside the agency’s existing collection, with availability open for the December-April high season as well as the April-May and November shoulder periods.<\/p>\n
