Villa Amethyst | 5 BR
Description
Villa Amethyst is the type of St. Martin retreat that makes you slow down as soon as you walk in.
Nestled on the cliffs of Terres Basses, a short distance from the water’s edge, the estate overlooks the island’s graceful coastline curve and a stretch of turquoise to the north. Here, the sky and the sea have the same color scheme; the afternoons shine in hues of lapis and amethyst that are true to the villa’s name, while the mornings begin with a gentle silver horizon. Set less than a minute from Baie Rouge Beach and surrounded by lush tropical gardens, this is a private haven for tourists seeking the Caribbean at its most serene—close enough to hear the surf, yet far enough away to feel as though the world has stopped.
Villa Amethyst’s architecture is designed for authentic island living. The estate is shaped by two separate buildings that naturally alternate between gathering and retreat. The living, dining, and kitchen areas of the main pavilion are all on one level and flow naturally under the open ceilings. Conversation naturally flows toward a covered terrace that leads to the pool as large openings bring the outdoors in.
While the terrace serves as the daily venue for leisurely breakfasts, peaceful reading sessions, and candlelit dinners that extend past midnight, the sea fills every frame from this angle, shimmering by day and illuminated by the moon at night. Soft textiles that invite bare feet, finishes that maintain their beauty in salty air, and cool tile underfoot were among the materials selected for comfort and longevity.
The five large bedrooms are located in a separate two-story house just to the left, providing each visitor with a place to call home without sacrificing the convenience of a vacation spent together. Each suite is a private haven with a large shower in the ensuite bathroom, air conditioning for a restful night’s sleep, and ceiling fans that keep the tropical beat going even on calm afternoons.
Due to the arrangement, Villa Amethyst is perfect for multigenerational stays, couples traveling together, and families with teenagers where proximity and privacy are important considerations. At the end of the day, retreat to a room that feels completely your own, wake up to the sound of the waves, and sit over coffee while trade winds rustle through the palm trees.
Here, life is oriented toward the water. One of St. Martin’s most famous coves, Baie Rouge, is just a short distance away along a peaceful path. It features broad, pale rose-colored sands and serene, crystalline water that is perfect for a leisurely swim.
Snorkeling is easy in the nearby rock gardens when the tide is right; if you go below the surface, you’ll see a more serene world of sun-dappled coral and darting fish. Between excursions, the pool terrace turns into your personal haven, surrounded by flowering hedges that add color and fragrance from dawn to sunset and bordered by sun-drenched stone. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the gardens provide insulation by absorbing the heat and noise of the day, allowing the villa to remain quiet even during busy island times.
Constructed in 2004 and meticulously renovated in 2018, Villa Amethyst combines the allure of its original layout with the assurance of a well-executed makeover. The scale feels ideal for a group of six to ten people who value time together just as much as time apart, and the layout is classic—private spaces that rejuvenate, social spaces that breathe.
The property, which is roughly 4,300 square feet spread across two buildings, feels larger than its size indicates because of the sea’s constant presence and the way indoor spaces blend into open air and shaded terraces. Nights near the rustle of leaves and the constant silence of the Caribbean below, evenings swarm the pool as the coastline flickers to life in the distance.
Uncomplicated luxury is what remains after a stay at Villa Amethyst: the freedom to walk barefoot from the bedroom to the pool at sunrise; the delight of washing off beach salt before lunch beneath the terrace eaves; and the sheer delight of watching the ocean’s color change while surrounded by the people you care about. You can enjoy privacy when you want it and the full theater of St. Martin’s natural beauty whenever you look up because the house frames the island rather than competes with it.
Nearby activities include kayaking from Cul-de-Sac to Pinel Island for a barefoot beach day and calm, shallow waters; snorkeling the reef pockets at Baie Rouge and along the cliffs toward Pointe des Fleurs; and spending an afternoon sampling French-Caribbean cuisine and pastry shops in Grand Case.
