This magnificent, finely-detailed villa overlooks St. Thomas' scenic harbor and the historic port of Charlotte Amalie, and offers four to five spacious air conditioned king bedroom suites on three levels, an expansive Great Room encompassing individual areas for conversation, dining, media, and exercise, and a gourmet kitchen. The Great Room, which can be fully screened by an on-demand electronic push button system, opens through lofty stone archways onto the sunny 16' by 45' pool and its spacious tiled deck. One king bedroom suite adjoins the Great Room, with another on a lower level, just twelve steps below.

Above the Great Room, via a stunning spiral staircase, are two more king bedroom suites, each with an additional twin sofabed (perfect for children). If you wish, you may also rent the fifth king bedroom suite, situated at the other end of Silk Cotton and built on two levels with a platform with an additional two twin mattresses for sleeping or relaxing on its upper level. All five bedrooms are air conditioned and have their own balconies. A daily gourmet breakfast is included in Silk Cotton Villa's rates; the talented chef is also available for intimate dinners. Elegance with attention to every detail and excellent, experienced service make Silk Cotton Villa on of St. Thomas' premier vacation residences.
