La Mer — “The Sea” — lives up to its name. Perched high on Bordeaux Mountain above Coral Bay Harbour, this private hillside retreat captures panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands, constant Caribbean cross-breezes, and unforgettable sunrise skies over turquoise waters.



Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the balcony or floating in your private pool, the sea is always in sight.



The Villa Experience

The open-concept living and dining area flows effortlessly to the outdoor spaces, creating a bright, breezy environment perfect for gathering with family or friends. Large doors invite the trade winds inside, so you’ll enjoy natural cooling and indoor-outdoor island living at its best.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and features:

- King-size beds

- En-suite bathrooms

- Peaceful separation for couples or families traveling together

Beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler are provided — so you can head out and explore with ease.



Nearby Beaches

La Mer is perfectly positioned for easy access to some of St. John’s most beautiful and less crowded beaches:

Salt Pond Bay – Crystal clear water, excellent snorkeling, and a short scenic hike to Ram Head.

Maho Bay – Calm waters, sea turtles, and ideal conditions for paddleboarding.

Hansen Bay – A Coral Bay favorite with kayak and paddleboard rentals.

Lameshur Bay – Quiet, peaceful, and perfect for escaping the crowds.



Hiking & Adventure

Adventure begins just minutes away inside Virgin Islands National Park, which covers nearly two-thirds of the island.

Popular trails nearby:

- Ram Head Trail – Dramatic cliff views and breathtaking sunsets.

- Reef Bay Trail – Lush forest, petroglyphs, and waterfall views (seasonal).

- Bordeaux Mountain scenic drives for panoramic island vistas.



Dining in Coral Bay

Just a few minutes down the hill, Coral Bay offers a laid-back, authentic island vibe with wonderful dining options:

Skinny Legs – Legendary burgers and cold drinks.

Johnny Lime – Sourdough crust pizzas and and island BBQ.

Lime Out – Floating Taco Restaurant situated in Coral Bay.



You’ll also find small grocery stores, boat charters, live music, and local artisan markets throughout the week.



What To Do in Coral Bay

- Charter a boat to explore the British Virgin Islands

- Snorkel vibrant coral reefs right from shore

- Kayak through mangroves

- Visit local farms and artisan shops

The property is beautiful. Views are amazing. Kitchen was very well appointed. Beds are very comfortable. A few items guests may want to know: bedrooms do not have shades - can be very bright, especially on the upper levels, but we saw many gorgeous sunrises. The driveway, like many on St John, is tight and steep, especially with the owner's car parked there, so if you will have more than 1 vehicle, be prepared to back in/out and/or manuever to turn around. Hoping the main entrance door can be repaired quickly, it would make access to the main living/kitchen much more convenient. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect and authentic St. John

La Mer was the exactly what we were looking for. Yes, you need to navigate up the mountain, BUT you are rewarded with a million dollar view of Coral Bay and the BVI’s by day and the most beautiful sounds and sky at night. The house is stocked and feels like a spa. I cried when we left!

La Mer

This property is the most beautiful one we have stayed at in Coral Bay. The vistas from every angle, balcony and walkway are incredible. The trade winds were cooling and refreshing. The furniture in the living room, decks and bedrooms were well appointed and comfortable. The dining areas were perfect. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed. We were thrilled to have found this gorgeous property and plan to return.

A slice of Heaven

We had an incredible time during our week long stay at La Mer. I will certainly miss waking up to that view every day. The pictures on the vrbo site don't quite do it justice. I was traveling with my family. We had 4 couples and the four bedrooms were perfectly spread out so that we each had plenty of privacy. The property provided everything we needed, including beach chairs and coolers to take to the beaches. We ate in for breakfast and a few dinners, and the large kitchen provided everything we needed for making meals. There were spaces in the drive way for our 2 jeep rentals. You will have to do a bit of maneuvering for 2 vehicles going in and out, but nothing too problematic. Karen was super helpful with anything we needed. The water had shut off during one of the days . I texted her and she was there within a couple of hours to switch the cisterns. Come to think of it, it was a Sunday and also Mother's day, so I was shocked to see such a quick response given it was a holiday. Thank you again Karen for such a lovely holiday! We definitely hope to visit again soon!

Jerry’s big adventure

Property was top notch; however difficult to navigate. My bedroom had no closet for clothing. I had to hang everything on the bench. Our party had to maintain the leaking pool and filter. Also, where did the hammock go. One last comment. When leaving the pool decking onto tile, that 3inch difference is a trip hazzard. Every day we tripped. Please add maybe a piece of yellow strips to show that there is a hight difference. Not being picky but just saying what needed to be looked over. My bathroom did not have hand soap and little body wash in the shower. Overall, the property was amazing.

Beautiful home for multiple families!

La Mer was perfect for our family’s get-away. The 3 separate buildings made for a very comfortable stay for 3 couples plus a few kids. We were able to enjoy the common kitchen area, outdoor spaces and large deck for meals and games, but we all had plenty of private space to relax in our own bedrooms. The breeze at the top of the mountain is amazing, making 85 degree temps feel very comfortable. We also had a prime view when rain clouds rolled in from the east and took some great pics. Our kids loved the pool, and we all loved the open air bathroom showers. Felt like paradise! Also, we had no trouble getting up the steep hills in our rented minivan. No jeeps were available (reserve early!!), so we crossed our fingers and did fine with the minivan. (But that first time up was a little hair-raising!) :) We loved this home near Coral Bay. We all agreed that the east side of the island felt much more relaxed and less crowded than Cruz Bay on the west side. Would love to come back to La Mer!

Amazing Home on St. John

La Mer was everything we could have hoped for during our stay. The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The set-up is great, with a large kitchen/living area for everyone to gather, but the rooms are separate for when people wanted space. Every balcony had a spectacular view of Coral Bay. We loved that the house had beach towels, ice chests, and chairs that we could use for trips to the beach. The only caveat is the drive up to the house. Make sure you've got a vehicle that can handle the steep inclines and sharp turns. Other than that, this house was fantastic and we would love to stay again.
