Surrounded by lush palms on the gentle hillside of Indigo Bay, Emeraude boasts breathtaking views over the sparkling sapphire ocean towards the distant island of Saba. Its name means “emerald” in French, and, with its abundance of exquisitely furnished space and views of the spectacular sunset, this villa truly is the jewel of St Martin.

Featuring an elegant blend of indoor and outdoor living, the abundance of timber and stone used throughout brings the natural world inside; this is further accentuated by the palette of earthy neutrals, accented by touches of tropical blues and greens. Colourful fish swim leisurely in the several indoor ponds, creating a unique tranquil atmosphere, while the expansive sun-kissed deck is home to soft daybeds, a shimmering heated saltwater pool, and a beautiful glass-topped dining table, perfect for al fresco dinners.

As the golden glow of the evening sky streams through the villa, cook up a sumptuous feast for your guests – the fully-equipped kitchen has its own hidden pantry – and later enjoy a ditty around the grand piano or simply lie back on a sun lounger for a spot of stargazing. The exuberant nightlife and lively casinos of Simpson Bay are only a short drive from the villa, should you wish to venture out.

Emeraude offers four stunning bedrooms, one of which contains cosy bunk beds, making this the ideal home-away-from-home for families with younger children. Complete with a massage room, workout equipment and unmatched housekeeping and gardening service, Emeraude promises all you’ll need for an unforgettable stay in a beachfront paradise.
