Nestled in on the southeast side of St. Thomas, Bakkero Villa delivers a unique combination of luxury, privacy, and proximity. From its west-facing perch, you are guaranteed sunset views 365 days a year from anywhere in the villa. Bakkero Villa is the only villa on St. Thomas that includes an arcade room, gym, and a Control4 System that allows you to control the whole villa from an iPad.
This 8,500 sqft home is designed to prioritize high-end comfort without losing the island’s natural magic. Every detail is intentional: an arcade room that keeps the kids (and competitive adults) entertained for hours; a fully equipped, personal gym with its own zen garden for yoga or meditation; a sun deck with a fire pit for starlit conversations; and a chef’s dream kitchen stocked with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. From the built-in outdoor grill to the pool deck lined with loungers, Bakkero Villa invites you to kick back and relax like you’re staying at your own personal Ritz Carlton.

You’ll Be Close To
Family Fun
Just minutes from the Pirate’s Museum, Children’s Museum, and the Sky Ride at Paradise Point. Less than six miles away, Coral World Ocean Park offers interactive marine experiences, from swimming with dolphins to walking under the water in a Sea Trek helmet.
Groceries & Provisions
Pick up essentials at Moe’s Fresh Market in Yacht Haven Grande or make a short 12-minute trip to Cost U Less for larger hauls. If you want to skip the shopping, we can arrange for a local provisioner to stock the villa before you arrive so your vacation starts the moment you walk in the door.
Dining & Nightlife
You’re just minutes from Havensite and Red Hook, two hubs for dining, drinks, and island nightlife. Go upscale for fresh seafood and craft cocktails, keep it casual with beach bars and pub fare, or start your day with a relaxed breakfast before heading out to explore.
Transportation
Taxis and rental cars are both options here. We’re happy to recommend trusted providers for either. For the ultimate in stress-free island travel, we can arrange a dedicated daily driver. You’ll have the same driver throughout your stay, so you can forget about navigating left-side roads (especially after a couple of dinner cocktails).

Important to Note:
* While the villa is completely private, you may encounter vendors who service the property like a pool tech, landcaper, or generator technician. They set their own schedules and do not provide notice.
* Signing a rental agreement and providing a card via a secure processing platform called OwnerRez for a security hold of $2,000 is requirement to rent this villa. The hold goes into place 48 hours prior to arrival and will be released 5 days after departure as long as no significant damage is found. This is not a deposit, but a hold similar to what hotels do for incidentals.
