Party like a rock star on St. Barth's

Don't pay attention to the stock market; luxury isn't dead. If you need proof, just look to the recently opened Villa Rockstar on St. Barth's. Ultra-luxury doesn't begin to describe this six-star, six-bedroom domicile. A 10-foot wall keeps the proletarians at by, while you enjoy private chef and butler service in 16,000 sqft of unblemished bliss.

This property is designed to unleash your inner superstar.

Villa Rockstar, along with the other Eden Rock properties, is built around a creative ideal. For the Eden Rock Resort, it's a public studio and gallery, which has featured the work of auction darling Richard Prince and currently is home to Delia Brown. Villa Nina, also on St. Barth's, wraps a fine art theme in, as well. Music, however, is the main event at Villa Rockstar (unsurprisingly, I hope). The home includes a full recording studio, ideal for professionals seeking privacy or the amateur looking to experience the dream. Bring a plane-load of friends or groupies down to this retreat, and mock each other mercilessly while recording the evidence.

If music doesn't scratch your recreational itch, there are other ways to pass the time. The villa is close to 30 times the size of my apartment, so I imagine it takes a few days just to soak in every room. The private beach allows relaxation without disruption, particularly if you prefer salt water to the pools resident on site. Yes, spa services are available, as if the trappings of Villa Rockstar wouldn't be enough to relax you!

The culinary experience is flexible. The guest's tastes, whatever they may be, can be accommodated by the villa's full commercial kitchen. In addition to selecting the menus to be prepared, you can bring your own chef, ensuring that what reaches your plate is exactly what you had in mind.

Villa Rockstar is intended to recreate the luxury yacht experience on land. You're never alone, as a cadre of staff members armed with cleaning accoutrements constantly removes every fingerprint, smudge and other trace of use immediately after it is left behind.

Whether you want to cut your next album in complete comfort or just hide from the world for a while, Villa Rockstar stands alone. There is no property quite like it in the world, largely because of the confluence of wealth, relaxation and creativity at this single spot on St. Barth's. If you are looking for generally unattainable luxury, well, this is it.
