Blend chic contemporary interiors with the dazzling charm of nearby Baie Rouge beach, and you have Aqua Rock. This four-bedroom escape is typical of the villas in St Martin – sophisticated, beguiling, and embracing that authentic island-life feel while never compromising on quality or comfort. Welcoming up to eight guests, its secluded location guarantees total tranquillity, peace, and stunning sunsets.

St Martin dances to the beat of its own drum, with a unique personality on the French and Dutch halves of the island. Add the vibrancy and colour of the Caribbean into this European mix, and you have a wonderfully eclectic destination. Food is flavourful and a fascinating blend of Creole and European classics, while this Caribbean island's laid-back atmosphere and natural beauty are sure to enchant you. Spend lazy days on the powdery white sands of Baie Rouge beach, or kayak, snorkel or paddle board through its crystal-clear, calm waters and discover secluded coves.

Aqua Rock sits on a rocky ledge overlooking the ocean. The clever use of a glass balcony makes it feel like the ocean comes right up to the sun deck, giving you an uninterrupted view of those fabulous St Martin sunsets and Anguilla in the distance. The indoor-outdoor transition is seamless, and a simple palette of neutral tones emphasises the flow between the two spaces. The living room is palatial and enhanced by a glass wall, turning that incredible view into an ever-changing mural. Plush furnishings in soft oatmeal colourways blend in perfectly, and the open-plan layout embraces a stylish dining area and a fully fitted kitchen that any chef will love. A staircase leads to the mezzanine and an intimate social area that's just right for movie nights.

The four bedrooms are exquisite, serene spaces with bespoke features such as a charming driftwood four-poster bed or a delightful round window. All four bedrooms have indulgent king-size beds and spa-standard ensuite bathrooms with free-standing soak tubs and rainfall showers.

Outside, a spacious sun deck is positioned so you can make the most of the warm sunshine without losing privacy. A large heated infinity pool sparkles in the light, tempting you to get in a few laps before breakfast, while a seated jacuzzi is an ideal spot for a glass of champagne and a leisurely soak while you watch the stars come out. A gazebo makes a welcoming outdoor social area where you can plan the next day's adventures on this island paradise. And if you need anything, your dedicated concierge is there to help book everything from a restaurant table to car hire.
