About this property

ASTRAL VILLA ultra private, stunning views, starry nights, saltwater pool, 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 the spa. Whatever the time of day, the sea and sky present a stunning array of colors for you to enjoy.

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, 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 scenic 10 minute car ride takes you to the world famous St John beaches.

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.

Incredible!

We just returned from our week-long trip to St John and cannot stop talking about how incredible it was to stay at Astral Villa! The location, the views, the amenities were all exactly what we had hoped for. Having a comfortable and well-appointed villa to come home to after each busy day of hiking, snorkeling, beach-hopping, etc. was perfect for us (two adult couples). We would love to stay at Astal Villa again the next time we visit St John.

St. John - A little paradise

We just came back after spending whole week on St. John in Astral Villa. What a location! The views are simply breathtaking. The villa is very cozy, equipped with all conveniences. Surrounded by amazing tropical garden. Even though the island has so much to offer, spending time at villa was treat by itself. We had a fantastic vacation:)

Beautiful, tranquil villa

Our stay at Astral Villa was wonderful! Beautiful settings of three suites with unique views. A pool at perfect temperature to cool off and two hot tubs for night-time star gazing. They have all amenities that you could ever need and there is a great grocery store right down the hill. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to come back again

Breathtaking views

Words cannot express how beautiful this property is. Views from the hill overlooking Coral Bay are stunning from the patio and every indoor space. Beautifully appointed, stocked with everything you could want. Feels like a private oasis just minutes away from beautiful beaches and Coral Bay hotspots. Our family loved our time here and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing place

Our stay at Astral Villa was amazing. Morning sunrises are spectacular, as is watching the moon rise in the evening. We stargazed from the hot tub. It feels like you're in your own secluded Caribbean paradise, with buildings surrounded by nature. The kitchen is very well stocked and there are countless details from the stonework, to the hammocks that elevate this property. I miss it already! Thank you for letting us stay.

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.

Paradise with a view

Astral Villa was absolutely perfect for us group of 5 friends (2 couples, one single)! Each couple or individual had their own private suite with breathtaking views over the bay, and even when some USVI-related power outages hit on the first day, the breeze from being at the top of the hill and the swimming pool kept us cool. The house is extremely well-apportioned, with all the kitchen gadgets, guide books, games, puzzles, and sound systems you could need. The local artwork in every room is a really nice touch, and the villa is literally surrounded by flowers of every shape and color, transporting you into a private garden of eden. I am already dreaming of going back.

Wonderful Stay in Paradise

We had a fantastic family trip at Astral Villa! It was beautiful, peaceful and a ton of fun. We loved being on the quieter Coral Bay side of the island, but activities (Lime Out, dinghy rental, hikes and beaches), as well as the market, were very close and accessible. Please note that it is open air, which was a little challenging for our "lock the doors at night" family, and the drive up is a bit white-knuckle the first couple times. It's completely worth it for the lovely, peaceful stay!

Incredible Villa / Experience

We had an amazing week at the villa, the pictures or my reviews won't do it justice. The views and villa are amazing, making it hard to leave to explore the island. The villa is completely secluded and offers a welcomed retreat from our daily hustle and bustle. The hosts were incredibly nice and responsive, Bob was the best and was always available. This will be the only place we want to stay on St. John, already dreaming of our next trip back.

Slice of Paradise

My husband and I just spent a week at this stunning property. It’s hard to find words to adequately convey the beauty and sense of peace we experienced during our visit. We did a little bit of venturing out, but for the most part, totally enjoyed staying put trying to drink in the beauty this place envelops you in. The house is stocked with anything and everything you could possible need or want. We highly recommend Astral Villa - you just cant get any better in my opinion!

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.

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!

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!

Nature abounds and dreamy views

Spectacular views, beautiful landscaping and privacy were the heart and soul of this fabulous property. The decor was perfect and my family was so impressed that I had found the perfect spot for our vacation :-) It was so hard to leave this place. We loved the beautiful nature surrounding us each day. My family looked forward to coming back to the villa each afternoon after visiting the beaches. The pool at sunset was one of our favorites. Close proximity to some great local restaurants and market was also a plus! Great communication with the owner and property manager who provided tips and helpful information to make our stay a breeze. We already want to plan a return trip in the near future!

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!

Just Wonderful

Astral Villa is a fabulous home, with gorgeous views and comforts everywhere. The house is beautifully designed and built, with lovely functional furniture, a well-equipped kitchen and lots of private and communal space. We loved the resident hermit crabs and occasional iguana. Claudia's communication was excellent and appreciated. Be aware of steep, windy roads and driveway. It took us a while, but we acclimated and ultimately figured out how to get both our jeeps in and out of the driveway. An unexpected but ultimately challenging and fun aspect to our overall wonderful week there.

Dream Villa!

Although Ernesto came sweeping in during our stay, we didn't let that dampen our good times! Astral Villa is like something out of a dream! The views are outstanding, almost surreal, and the design of the property allows guests privacy while also having the ability to gather together for meals, games, and fun in and around the pool. The close proximity to Coral Bay is also a huge plus, as it doesn't take long to shoot down to the markets on the main drag. The beaches like Trunk, Cinnamon, and Maho are not too far away, and you can stop at Colombo's for a coffee/smoothie on the way! Astral Villa is a special place that we won't ever forget. Comfortable, clean, and surrounded by nature. It's hard to go back to normal sleep after having the frogs and company serenade you to dreamland! Special shoutout to Claudia and company for helping us through the tropical storm! Above and beyond! We will be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASTRAL VILLA. 6 stars out of 5!

A Slice of Heaven

After unfortunate delays, our family finally made it to Astral Villa for the Fourth of July week. On arrival, the property was lush, the villa looked just what we hoped it would. Then we went to the patio edge overlooking Coral Bay. The stunning view made all of us silent. What followed was a week of relaxation, family bonding, and discovery of another beautiful place that is part of our country. We looked for an accommodation closer to a beach but landed on Astral Villa high above Coral Bay. We had to load up to head to the water, but that was a blessing. We explored over ten beaches during our stay, some crowded, some less so. Retreating to Astral Villa after each day in the sun, the solitude and quiet was something we relished. The villa is very well appointed with everything from nice linens to dinnerware. The grounds are the way an island garden should look. Each bedroom is perfectly private with polished bathrooms. Book it....before we do....

Gorgeous Open Air Villa with Stunning Views

We stayed at the Astral Villa for one week in February for a family vacation (5 adults). With the three large bedrooms with individual bathrooms we had plenty of privacy. The common space kitchen/living area was perfect for dinner and hanging out. Numerous patios, sitting areas, hot tubs x2, pool, and the large dining table made socializing easy. Everything was incredibly clean and the gardens well manicured. The place came with bluetooth speakers for indoors and out. The kitchen was well stocked. The Weber gas grill was well maintained and came with nice grilling utensils. We grilled the catch of the day (grouper, mahi, etc.) from the Calabash market for multiple dinners. The property has no other houses around it and is incredibly private. There were a ton of hummingbirds, bananaquits, iguanas, and hermit crabs around the property - very cool. The house comes with coolers, ice packs, beach chairs, towels, and tents for a perfect beach day. As per the description, the road up to the property and driveway are steep, but our 4x4 SUV handled it quite well. The owner and property manager were very responsive. The property manager will meet you on arrival and show you around the Villa. He is incredibly responsive and helped coordinate our provisioning order. We highly recommend this property and will come back!

Stunning views, beautifully situated with every convenience

Astral may be the all around best villa we’ve found in 30 years of coming to StJohn. It has all the comforts of home nestled in the rain forest, amidst tropical breezes mature garden and simply stunning views out every window. It’s close to Coral Bay town with easy access to some of most interesting snorkeling and diving the island has to offer. After a day in the sun it was so nice to come home to drinks in the expansive patio and a dip in the pool. After dinner found us heading for the hot tubs to watch a star and planet filled sky unpolluted by lights. Astral was perfect for a family with grown sons. Plenty of space for family time and alone time. Memorable in all respects!

Off the beaten path paradise!

We came to Astral Villa as complete newbies to the Caribbean! We had highly anticipated our 2 weeks in USVI St John and Astral Villa, and the experience even exceeded our expectations! Claudia was extremely helpful in answering our questions and accommodating us while we were preparing for our trip and Bob the property manager who lives locally was an excellent host. We had three generations staying in the villa, from ages 6 to 70+! we took in the amazing scenery daily and loved the pool and hot tubs. The privacy is second to none, like our own Shangri-La. Remember to keep an adventurous spirit the first time you drive here, it's part of the charm. ;) For the privacy of the house and pool alone, we want to come back! Last but not least, we really love how the villa had so many personal touches, from our interactions with the owner and property manager, to the high end kitchen supplies, to the bananaquit birdfeeders, to books about USVI on the bookshelves, to the decorations in each room. We felt like we were visiting an extremely well-cared-for home, not a corporate property. Highly recommend staying here. Please take care of this beautiful home as you would your own so others can continue to enjoy! It's a true gem.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia K

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.
