Villas don’t come much more exclusive than Chateau des Palmiers. This impressively large ten-bedroom estate has opulent décor – think gold chandeliers, marble countertops, grand fireplaces and huge Jacuzzi tubs – and stunning front-row ocean views.

Located on the white sands of beautiful Plum Bay in the Terres Basses, this gated and fully-staffed (you’ll have a private chef and concierge) private estate comprises two villas; a garden-side villa and an ocean-side villa. The ocean-side villa has six ensuite king bedrooms, including a lavish two-storey master suite with two private balconies that have views of the pool and the ocean. This villa comes with a top-of-the-range kitchen, a formal dining room and a relaxed outdoor dining area for enjoying mouth-watering chef-prepared meals. Meanwhile, the gorgeous garden-side villa comes with four ensuite king bedrooms, a living/dining area and a professional kitchen.

There’s also a huge heated outdoor pool by the beach, which is surrounded by a smart deck and plush sun loungers, while the immaculately landscaped gardens have swaying palm trees and tropical flowers. Further high-spec facilities include a tennis court and a fully-equipped fitness centre. The estate sits within a gated enclave and has top security, plus a high boundary wall to guarantee an ultra-private stay. Chateau des Palmiers promises an unforgettable grand celebration on St Martin.
