Anse des Cayes sits on the northwest coast of Saint-Barthélemy, between Anse des Lézards and Quartier du Roi, within the historic Leeward Parish. Its 300-metre shoreline is composed of coarse white sand, pebbles, and rocky outcrops shaped by Atlantic swells into powerful waves — making it one of the island's rare surf spots. The back beach is framed by low hills, large boulders, and dense vegetation that give the neighbourhood a wild, untouched character. Prestige villas perched on these heights enjoy a rare combination: the privacy of a discreet residential enclave and immediate access to the rest of the island, with Gustavia and Rémy-de-Haenen Airport just a few minutes away by car. Flamands Beach, one of the island's longest stretches of sand, lies less than a mile to the west. Anse des Cayes brings together an intact natural setting and the immediate convenience of island amenities.
