Papaya is your own tropical oasis, a fun-filled escape perfect for everything from your morning coffee to unforgettable sunset swims.
Step onto your spacious patio and emerge yourself in your private pool. The spacious deck with lush landscaping is complete with new Tropitone furniture, featuring three comfortable lounge chairs, a high-top table with four captain’s chairs and a high-end outdoor grill, perfect for both tranquil relaxation and lively entertaining. For al fresco dining, a covered patio offers a dining table with seating for six. Enjoy a drink, snack or meal poolside while admiring the stunning panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, lush hills and vibrant sunsets.
Elegant french doors create a seamless transition from your private pool and patio to a spacious, open-concept living area and gourmet kitchen, where expansive floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoors and out. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a wine fridge, a Keurig coffee maker for hot or iced coffee, and a traditional drip coffee maker, to suit every preference. The high-end appliances, ample counter space and kitchenware provides everything you need for crafting the perfect meal to savor at sunset, or for preparing a late-night snack to enjoy by the glow of your newly lit pool.
The villa’s spacious bedrooms comfortably sleep six guests, with ample room to accommodate additional children or guests. Each bedroom offers an en suite bathroom and individual split air conditioning for personalized comfort. The luxurious primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and relaxing jacuzzi tub. The villa’s contemporary living area is designed for both relaxation and connection, with chic furnishings and generous space to gather for game nights or stream your favorite shows on the large smart TV. Entertainment options include an Xbox with online games and four controllers, board games, books, and a telescope for evenings under the stars.
Should the island experience power disruptions your stay will remain uninterrupted thanks to the villa’s four Powerwalls, ensuring continuous comfort and convenience. Stay connected with ultra-fast Starlink internet, perfect for remote work, streaming or sharing your tropical adventures.
Papaya is a short ride to Cruz Bay and the Northshore beaches. For those seeking a truly remote beach experience, the owners recommend Salt Pond - an unspoiled stretch of coastline known for its solitude, striking natural beauty, and vibrant marine life.
**The 3rd bedroom king bed can be converted to 2 twin beds upon written request at the time of booking.**

Why Papaya Villa Is the Best St. John Villa for Remote Work and Long Stays

Split-system air conditioning and an on-site washer/dryer make multi-week comfort effortless.
