Just below the crest of the lush mountain lies Villa Nid d’Amour. True to its French translation of ‘love nest’ this home has been perfectly perched on the hillside to take full advantage of the romantic panoramas of the lazuline ocean on the horizon, with Anguilla in the distance. The sapphire water bespeckled with white sails of boats can be seen from every vantage point. This is the perfect setting for a charming tropical retreat.

Framed by elegant columns, the stunning infinity pool with a built-in hot tub is the focal point of the spacious outside area and blends into the ocean. Guests can bask in the glorious year-round sun from large terraces filled with covered spaces for dining and lounging. Enjoy a chilled glass of wine in the evening as the skies turn from a dusty pink and nightfall embraces the tropical island. Cook up the fresh catch of the day in the modern kitchen, fitted with a generous marble-topped island, before enjoying a sumptuous evening in the formal dining room with floor to ceiling windows and glass sliding doors showcasing the bewitching views.

Villa Nid d’Amour boasts two sublime king-sized bedrooms decorated in hushed taupe and white tones, each with immaculately designed spa-style ensuite bathrooms fitted with walk-in showers. Watch the lights from yachts dance up the headland and draw back the giant glass windows so that you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and awaken to scintillating sunrises on the surrounding mountains, without having to move from the plush bed.

Sheltered and secluded, yet not far from the French capital of Marigot with its vibrant marinas and a ten-minute drive to the airport, Villa Nid d’Amour is ideally located indeed. The home is also a stone’s throw from the blonde sands of Baie Rouge Beach.
