Perched above the gentle curve of Baie Rouge, in the prestigious enclave of Terres Basses, Villa Le Caprice St Martin is a timeless coastal sanctuary where the elegance of French Caribbean charm meets contemporary luxury. This oceanfront gem rests on a dramatic bluff, where every glance toward the horizon reveals sweeping views of turquoise waters, the Simpson Bay Lagoon, and the distant shores of Dutch St. Maarten.
The villa’s elevated position gifts it with not only breathtaking panoramas but also private access to one of the island’s most secluded beaches. A winding garden path weaves through fragrant flora and leads guests to the powdery sands of Baie Longue, a stretch of untouched shoreline known for its calm, shallow waters and picturesque rock formations. It’s the perfect setting for morning walks, ocean dips, or peaceful sunset reflections.
Up on the sun-drenched deck, the rhythm of the sea becomes part of daily life. The mosaic-tiled infinity pool mirrors the sky, while plush loungers line the stone and hardwood terrace. Guests can spend afternoons beneath the open-air gazebo, basking in the Caribbean breeze, or gather around the outdoor kitchen where a gas barbecue grill and wet bar invite alfresco dining at its finest.
Inside, Le Caprice reveals its soul. Classic wooden shutters open wide to embrace the sea breeze, and the interiors exude understated sophistication. The living area, both inviting and stylish, is anchored by a plush, oversized sofa and state-of-the-art Samsung flatscreen TV. The dining space is perfect for hosting elegant meals, with seating for ten and effortless flow into the fully equipped kitchen—a sleek and functional space outfitted with Miele and Liebherr appliances, granite countertops, and a chic breakfast bar framed by designer Tribu stools.
The villa’s five en-suite bedrooms are serene retreats in themselves. The master suite, tucked away in its own garden cottage, is a haven of privacy and romance. It boasts a walk-in closet, an expansive terrace with a hot tub, outdoor shower, and even a swing chair for dreamy stargazing. Its bathroom is a study in luxury, with double vanities, a rain shower, and separate his-and-her facilities.
Three additional king suites are located in the main house—two with exterior entrances, and one on the upper level accessible from the living room. Each offers its own unique charm, with crisp linens, modern bathrooms, and calming views that lull you into a peaceful rhythm.
Despite its quiet setting, Le Caprice is conveniently close to the island’s finest amenities. A short drive will take you to the culinary delights of Sandy Ground and the charming markets and cafés of Marigot. Whether you’re craving beachside tranquility or vibrant culture, everything is within reach.
