The open-plan ground level includes a contemporary take on the majlis, or traditional drawing room for visitors.

Blue walls, the color of the deep sea; blue, solar-panelled roofs; and a tall, bronze palm-tree sculpture proclaim the playful soul of the rambling villa Mare Blu. Its 6,000 square feet perch on a 0.96-acre gated lot above the cerulean waters of Cruz Bay on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Window walls and pocket doors throughout the house flow to balconies, galleries, and terraces, blurring the line between indoors and out. Inside, seven immaculate bedroom suites complement the exterior with a soothing palette of burnt orange, rust-brown wood finishes and postcard views, with seven full bathrooms executed in sea-sparkling blue mosaic tile.
The outdoor amenities center on a 48-foot infinity pool, a pool lanai, spa showers, and a fully kitted open-air kitchen serving the covered dining and lounging spaces. To quote the great Antônio Carlos Jobim song, there’ll be “No More Blues”!
