Nestled in a lush jungle setting with breath-taking ocean views, Villa Bahia Blue is a revelation. This delightful four-bedroom villa welcomes up to eight guests, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by a tropical garden and with every amenity you could wish for, this villa gives you an authentic taste of island life where guests can simply lie back, relax, and soak up the sunshine.

St Martin is a unique island, divided between two European influences and spiced with Afro-Caribbean culture. Terres Basses, or The French Lowlands, is an exclusive neighbourhood on the French side of the island. Set among rolling hills and lush forests that tumble down towards the western shoreline, it's also home to some of the best beaches on St Martin. Baie Rouge is a deserted paradise with towering red cliffs, while the large expanses of soft sand on Baie Longue and Baie aux Prunes ensure you'll always find a peaceful and secluded spot. Look out for the turtles that call this island home, and the hummingbirds that dart among the flowers. And at the end of a busy day, St Martin's exquisite restaurants offer everything from fresh-from-the-net seafood to classic French cuisine.

Villa Bahia Blue captures that indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is so typical of the Caribbean. The spacious living area opens out onto the main terrace, encouraging guests to spend their time in the large armchairs gazing out at the view with a rum cocktail in hand. The kitchen is gourmet standard and the ideal spot for whipping up a batch of codfish fritters or the island's speciality: conch and dumplings. Dining can be indoors or al fresco under the stars. The four sumptuous bedrooms all have king-size beds, garden views, and superbly appointed ensuite bathrooms. An outside staircase takes you up to the roof terrace, where you can take in one of the most spectacular sunsets in the Caribbean or watch the Milky Way burst into life above your head as the moon rises.

A large infinity pool dominates the terrace, cascading gently into a swimming pool on the lower level. With an outdoor sound system, a hot tub and a large gas BBQ, Villa Bahia Blue encourages you to adopt that laid-back island lifestyle, but with absolutely no compromise on the finer things in life. It represents pure Caribbean bliss that nourishes the mind, body and soul.
