About this property

Villa Palmera - 5-Star Modern Tropical Paradise

  • Palmera is a spectacular 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath ocean front villa in a beautifully serene, private, security patrolled, gated community on the island’s north side. It also has a private gentle drive with covered parking/entrance. There are no stairs in the villa. The home has been chiseled into the cliff side with panoramic views of the coastline and neighboring Virgin islands.

    The house was designed with uninhabited island Hans Lollik it's focal point. Palmera’s 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are fashioned after a 5 star hotel, with flat screen TV’s, private relaxation areas, high quality linens, and custom closets. The bathrooms feature custom double vanities and mirrors, high quality towels, designer fixtures, elaborate custom tile work, and outdoor showers. The villa includes a custom chef‘s kitchen and opulent living spaces to comfortably accommodate eight guests. Outdoor living spaces include three patios: one ocean facing with an infinity edge pool, a rear garden patio, and a private ocean facing patio off of suite 3. The style of the home is an artistic blend of simplicity, elegance, organic textures and modern flair infusing Zen like qualities with luxuriousness.

    The villa is less than 2 miles to famous Caribbean beaches, and wonderful upscale and casual dining. January through March, watch for whales migrating in front of the villa!

This was a fabulous property with a fabulous host. The amenities were so thoughtful. It was the convenience of being at home but at this gorgeous island. Great location for getting to all the good spots but tucked away in a gated community. The guide was tremendously helpful for the house and utilizing it’s features as well as having a wonderfully put together list of suggestions on how to enjoy the island.

House is perfect, beautiful and also comfortable. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views of the ocean and the surrounding islands are amazing, and the pool area is awesome. Property manager Ali is super responsive… she even helped me by finding a power cord for my laptop after I forgot mine. We had an amazing time staying here and would highly recommend it.

A Dream Vacation!

This host, house and property exceeded all of our expectations and wishes. The house is beautifully maintained and is appointed with many extra details and amenities which add to the experience. We could not have asked for anything more for an stress-free family vacation. The views are unmatched.

A perfect week! Ali is the best hostess! She literally thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, easy and enjoyable. Her home is immaculate and stocked with everything needed for a home away from home. She is accessible, helpful, and kind. She provided endless information about the island and made it easy for us to decide what to do and how to get there. Her little touches made a huge difference! The views from this home are outstanding! We spent hours in the pool just admiring the view. I could go on and on, but I'll just end by saying that this was our best VRBO experience ever! Top notch!!!

This villa is an absolute dream!! The pictures don’t do it justice. The view is unbelievable and Ali has literally thought of everything. It’s clean, well provided and spacious. My kids loved the pool and house and even said they’d rather come here again instead of Disney World! It was an amazing week and we can’t wait to come back!

My family of 6 adults enjoyed all the house had to offer. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms (outdoor showers are fantastic) and pool areas where wonderful. Would return again.

Paradise

Home was exactly as described but pics don't do it justice. Amazing house with amazing views. With many options on the island for vacation rentals I was not disappointed with the selection and felt we absolutely made the right choice. Management was awesome and very accommodating. Our family would stay here again without a doubt. One of my best experiences with a vacation rental through the years and we do this quite often. I highly recommend this property!

We found Paradise!

Our family vacation to St. Thomas was wonderful! Villa Palmera was exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful! There was ample space for 6 adults and 1 child. We took advantage of cooking dinner and breakfast in the beautiful well stocked kitchen. Eating every meal outside on the pool deck with the amazing view never got old. We had a few questions for Allie and she responded quickly! Take advantage of the Concierge service- they suggested restaurants and things to do for the week. We booked many things through them. The passenger ferry to St. John was very easy to get to- a visit to Trunk Bay is a must there. We loved Lindquist and Sapphire beaches on St. Thomas.

Absolute Paradise

This property is amazing. The view, the accommodations, the attention to guest details was outstanding! They had coolers, chairs, towels for pool and beach, champagne, etc. ready for us! The kitchen is awesome being a cook! I highly recommend if you have the means, you should stay here! The beaches were beautiful, restaurants awesome, activities amazing. Where else can you see sea life 40 feet above the crystal clear water. It is so close to everything you need and want to see. The property is private and protected. This is the best beach trip and vacation we have ever taken! Thanks Ali, this house is paradise!

Should be 6 Stars!!

We stay at a lot of high-end properties on VRBO with our family (2 adults and 4 teenagers) and this was one of our favorite properties, hands-down. What did we love: - the location, private and SAFE - the views, are just jaw-dropping - the attention to detail. Everything has been thought of, from beach chairs to beach towels, pool towels, and kitchenware (my wife cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner!) - the layout. Three bedrooms on one side and the killer later bedroom on the other. HIGHLY recommend this house, you will not be disappointed.

Our stay at Villa Palmeira was truly unforgettable—and honestly, it set the tone for one of the best group trips we’ve ever had.The layout is perfect—plenty of space to gather for drinks, meals, and laughs. Each bedroom felt like its own retreat.The views are absolutely unreal. We found ourselves stopping mid-conversation just to take them in. Some of our favorite memories weren’t even “planned” activities—they were mornings with coffee overlooking the water, afternoons by the pool with music playing, and long evenings outside we didn’t want to end.And speaking of music—the iPad already connected to the home’s sound system was such a thoughtful touch. It made it so easy to set the vibe from the moment we arrived.The outdoor showers deserve their own mention—they are an absolute oasis. It’s one of those little luxuries that ended up being a highlight of the stay.We also found ourselves wanting to eat in more than going out—the house is just that enjoyable. Cooking, relaxing, and taking in the views together became part of the experience.The location is fantastic—just minutes from Megan’s Bay, which made beach days incredibly easy. Definitely rent a car to make the most of everything nearby.Ali is an incredible host. From the detailed welcome packet filled with helpful tips and recommendations, to personally reaching out to alert us about airport lines and how to possibly avoid them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Outstanding Vacation at Villa Palmera

Our family just returned from a week stay at Villa Palmera. I could go on and on about the gorgeous views from this home because even though you see the view in the photos, it still takes your breath away in person. We spent almost all of our time out on the patio by the pool. In fact, we had plans to go to St John and to the beach one day, but we were so relaxed and loved where we were so much that we never managed to get around to going to either. The layout of the home is just perfect as each bedroom has a king sized bed and its own private bathroom. The outdoor showers are fantastic as it keeps the bathroom humidity down. The half bath with access to the back patio is convenient for not having to walk all through the house to use the bathroom. We cooked 90% of our meals at the home and the kitchen is very well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the use of the grill and did a lot of our cooking out there. I do a lot of research on the places I end up booking for our vacations and Villa Palmera met every single item on my must have list and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Ali is an excellent property manager and is very communicative. Kudos to the cleaning staff as well, as this home is very clean and that's a big thing for me as well. I'm on a kick of going to places I haven't been, but I have a feeling my family will want to return here for another vacation, and we won't stay anywhere on St Thomas but the Villa Palmera.
