Amancaya, Anse des Cayes, St. Barts, Caribbean

It is one of the most spacious and private villa on the island! Amancaya is situated on the heights of Anse des Cayes. Dominating one of the few virgin spots of the island, Amancaya overlooks the bay of Anse des Lézards and offers you a truly amazing view. We especially liked its contemporary decoration, its long heated pool and its atmosphere.

Sheltered by a luxurious tropical garden, Amancaya is a relaxing place where you can enjoy its calm surroundings. Newly redone now this house is a 7 bedroom offering spacious accommodations to guests coming in with families that need additional places to sleep, even a children's room with 4 twin beds for those that want to sleep away from the adults, or singles not wanting to sleep together.

Area Information

The island of Saint-Barthelemy is situated at Latitude 17.55° north and Longitude 62.50° West just above the Tropic of Cancer in the extreme north-east of the Caribbean Sea. It is 6000 km (3750 miles) from Paris, 2500 km (1550 miles) from New York and 180 km (100 miles) from Puerto Rico.

Saint-Barthelemy is part of the Leeward Isles or Lesser Antilles. It is situated between the Islands of St Martin and St Kitts and Nevis in the South-West and the Islands of Antigua and Barbuda in the South-East. It is 25 km (15 miles) South-East of Saint Martin and 230 km (126 miles) North-West of Guadeloupe.

Saint-Barthelemy is in fact an archipelago as it is surrounded by a number of small islands; Chevreau, Coco, Fourchue, Frégate, Tortue, Le Boulanger, Les Grenadins, Pain de Sucre, Petit Jean and Toc Vert.

Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in the north of the West Indies, the island has preserved the charm of its wilderness and its precious environment.

Access

By plane

The island relies principally on the international airport on St Martin situated on the Dutch side of the island and known as St Martin Juliana International airport. (SXM) There is also the regional airport at “Grand-Case” on the French side of the Island. Both airports are about 15 minutes flying time from Saint-Barthelemy. Saint-Barthelemy is equally served by airlines that fly from Anguilla, Antigua, St Kitts and Nevis, Guadeloupe, San Juan and several other larger Islands. Most direct flights from the USA or Europe fly to St Martin or Guadeloupe.

By boat

Several ferries assure the connection between Saint-Barthelemy and the French and Dutch sides of St Martin. They are several return trips each day and the timetable and information of ports of call are easily found.

There are also private charter companies available for the trip between the two islands. The trip itself can be between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the type of craft and the weather. Beware those of you who get seasick!
