Experience Extraordinary Service at Award-Winning Villa Embrace
Villa Embrace is a masterpiece of elegance and sophistication, with expansive living areas, five beautifully appointed guest suites, two sparkling infinity edged pools and the first glass elevator on the island of St.Barths.
The expansive villa is perched upon a verdant hillside of swaying palm trees overlooking the bustling harbor of Gustavia. As the sunlight dances on the surface of the water, and super-yachts bob in the bay, it’s easy to see why guests love it here. Remarkably though, the views are not the primary attraction – it’s the exceptional personalized service from Villa Embrace’s team that garners the most praise from guests. Many guests return regularly, with one group spending their third Christmas since the villa opened three years ago.
The impeccably customized service begins even before you arrive, as the Villa Embrace team reaches out to your group to learn more about each guest’s unique preferences. This simple step allows the team to tailor every detail to each guest, ensuring a seamless experience that meets everyone’s expectations, from the moment that you arrive until the very last minute of your stay.
Returning guests always mention how the team remembers every detail, and behind the scenes, they work hard to remember personalized preferences. One guest said, “We were blown away by the level of detail that the team remembered from our past visit to Villa Embrace – even down to the exact temperature we liked our bedroom at night”. Little details like this are exactly the reason why key dates get booked up at least a year in advance.
Villa Embrace’s villa manager Florian Guitton says: “At Villa Embrace, we understand that our guests are used to the finest things in life, which is why we take pride in delivering a level of service that goes a step beyond. Our team strives to master the art of anticipation, ensuring that every detail, no matter how small, feels like it was crafted just for you”.
From the moment that guests arrive, they are greeted by their own personal butler who sees to their every need throughout the stay. The discreet butler is available to cater to every whim during the daytime or in the evening, whether guests are relaxing in the villa or out exploring the island’s attractions.
A dedicated housekeeping team takes care of the tiniest details to make each stay extra special, from arranging freshly cut flowers to unpacking luggage and facilitating laundry services. Evenings feature a customized turndown service with accompaniments ranging from champagne and handmade chocolates to personalized notes, mood lighting and pillow preferences – thoughtful additions such as soothing balms, after sun masks and creams are also provided to guests that have spent a day at the beach or by the pool.
The professional chefs at Villa Embrace are of the highest caliber – having either worked in the world’s finest five-star hotels or top Michelin-star restaurants. They liaise with guests before and throughout their stay to continuously craft the ultimate epicurean experience, and they can create anything requested, from lobster thermidor to Asian and Greek food, hand-fired pizzas and ceviche. Guests can even customize their coffee preferences, with their favorite roasts always available to sip from sunrise to sunset.
Daily itineraries are curated by the concierge team, and there are activities to suit all ages and preferences. Several exclusive Villa Embrace experiences are included with a stay – from half day boat cruises with a chef and water sports activities to relaxing massages, guided hikes and poolside yoga sessions. Guests can also adapt and add their own excursions and services, such as taking a helicopter ride to play golf in Anguilla, indulging in a white glove beach picnic, hiring a family photographer or requesting a live music performance at the villa.
For those wishing to explore the iconic St. Barth’s restaurant scene, the concierge team can arrange transportation and reserve tables at the island’s best dining establishments and nightclubs. Younger travelers are also catered for when adults go out in the evenings, courtesy of the villa’s long-standing childcare service.
A previous guest said of their stay, “I can honestly say, without caveat, that Villa Embrace provided us and our guests with the most pampered and exquisite treatment we have ever received. We have traveled the world and stayed at the finest villas and properties, but Villa Embrace has truly raised the bar and set a new standard. What truly set the standard of service apart was what all of the guests perceived to be true caring and concern. There was not one moment of concern, not one detail left unnoticed, not one need unmet.”
There is no doubt that Marty and Michelle Weinberg, the visionaries behind Villa Embrace, have created a uniquely personalized sense of service that invites guests to experience the extraordinary. And given that the villa recently placed first in its category at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, it is clear that guests and industry professionals alike recognize the timeless and sublime service offered by this unmatched Caribbean retreat.
