A Curated Caribbean Collection
St Martin is the only island in the world shared by two sovereign nations — French Saint-Martin in the north, Dutch Sint Maarten in the south. One passport, two cultures, thirty-seven beaches, and the most international villa scene in the Caribbean. The French side is the home of gastronomy, gated estate enclaves and quieter family beaches. The Dutch side is the home of marinas, nightlife and easier airport convenience. The choice of which side shapes the entire trip — and that’s the conversation we start with every guest.
Our 169 handpicked St Martin villas span both sides: ultra-private estates inside the gated Terres Basses peninsula, beachfront homes on Baie Rouge and Plum Bay, family villas on Orient Bay, contemporary residences in Cupecoy and Simpson Bay, and intimate hideaways on Happy Bay and Anse Marcel. Some come fully staffed with chef and butler; others are intimate seclusion-first retreats. All include private pool, daily housekeeping and 24/7 concierge.
A quick reference for choosing the right side of the island and the right villa area: Terres Basses for privacy, large groups and milestones (gated peninsula, in-villa chef, SXM ~15 min); Baie Rouge for beach lovers and honeymooners (red-sand crescent, SXM ~15 min); Plum Bay for sunset chasers and couples (western-tip cove, SXM ~20 min); Orient Bay for families and active travellers (lively beach clubs, SXM ~35 min); Cupecoy for marina lifestyle and shorter transfers (modern villas, SXM ~10 min); and Simpson Bay for convenience and the easiest airport access (bay-front, SXM ~5 min). High season runs December through April across all areas; Cupecoy and Simpson Bay work year-round.
