Part of the exclusive, gated community of Domaine du Levant, Silver Rainbow, our distinctive Villa of the Month for May, is a brand new, five-bedroom villa. An overflowing pool that merges with the sea, a large, covered terrace overlooking the ocean, and a panoramic view of the bay of Petite Cul de Sak are just a few of the highlights of this magnificent home.

Silver Rainbow also features a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen; a colossal living room that has a bar and a large plasma-screen television and opens onto the terrace; a guest bungalow with two additional bedrooms, a kitchenette, a media room, and a dining area; and an office and a gym at the top of the property. Guests staying at Silver Rainbow have exclusive access to the private tennis courts of Domaine du Levant, and daily maid service (excluding Sundays and island holidays) is included with the rental.

Villa of the Month Destination: St. Barts This small, hilly island, named by Christopher Columbus, is variously called Saint-Barthélemy, St. Barts, and St. Barths, and it is one of four territories in the Caribbean that make up the French West Indies. A well-known stomping ground of the rich and famous, St. Barts' main draws include its secluded beaches, trendy shops, renowned French cuisine, and development control that has prioritized privacy and exclusivity; to date, the island—virtually crime-free—has no large hotels. Also, its only port is not accessible to large cruise ships, and its high passenger port charges discourage other ships. The lack of large boats coming and going from St. Barts leave the waters perfect for a wide range of watersports, including windsurfing and scuba diving.
