John Lennon, Villa Rockstar and You: Is There A Better Combo?

Filed under: Journeys

Whether you're looking to recreate the Brady Bunch's "silver platter" glory or just have a family that's dying to lay down some tracks, Villa Rockstar is ready to host you. The extremely, absurdly upscale villa at Eden Rock on St. Barth's offers 16,000 square feet of bliss and includes a full recording studio designed by Ocean Way Recording. But, you know that. You may not realize, however, that you'll be touching musical history – regardless of how talented you are. The console installed at Villa Rockstar was used by John Lennon when he recorded "Imagine."

So, in addition to the four enormous master suites (including one named for Lennon), full gym, private office and cars on hand, you can create a masterpiece (or not) before retiring to the pool or playing some croquet out on the lawn. Settle in for an astounding dining experience ... but only after you see what's going on at the Eden Rock Gallery (through which several amazing artists have passed.

When you get home, listen to what you have created, and try to fight the urge to go back (it won't work).

Eden Rock Artist in Residence Keeps the Kids Busy

Filed under: Art, Children



Sometimes, the hardest part of choosing a vacation spot is balancing between your wants and the kids' needs. Sprawling out on the beach or sipping a cocktail by the pool works for you, but children need distraction ... constant distraction.

In perhaps the most creative travel offer I've seen this year, Eden Rock – St. Barths is offering an easel, a paint brush and a palate of watercolors. Rather than splatter aimlessly, each kid will receive a one-time lesson with the Eden Rock Artist in Residence (the next is still to be announced).

Even for the caliber of guest that you find at Eden Rock, this can only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

During the lesson, kids will also be exposed to the gallery's exhibitions in progress. In the recent past, this gallery has been home to the likes of Richard Prince and Will Cotton. The natural St. Barths aesthetic plus that created by the artists invited to show their work in the gallery yields a unique combination that is sure to inspire any budding artist.

The lessons are only available when the artist in residence is, in fact, in residence, so check with the Eden Rock Hotel when making reservations. The program runs through August 2009.
