The Villa
Welcome to Esprit de la Mer, where the spirit of the sea comes alive through breathtaking panoramic views and refined coastal elegance. Perched on the cliffs of Terres Basses, one of Saint Martin’s most exclusive neighborhoods, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom villa overlooks the turquoise waters of Baie Rouge Beach and the striking natural wonder known as David’s Hole. Every corner of this home celebrates its extraordinary setting — from the expansive terrace and infinity pool to each of its beautifully designed bedrooms, offering uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea.
The Location
Ideally situated in the serene and private community of Terres Basses, Esprit de la Mer enjoys a prime vantage point over the island’s stunning western coastline. The villa is just minutes from the island’s best beaches, including Baie Rouge, Baie Longue, and Plum Bay, each known for its pristine sands and calm waters. Supermarkets, restaurants, and the bustling nightlife of Maho and Marigot are just a short drive away, allowing guests to explore both the French and Dutch sides of St. Martin with ease.
Indoors
From the moment you enter the villa, you are greeted by a dramatic, structured entrance that leads directly to sweeping sea views and the glistening infinity pool below. The villa’s open layout is designed to draw your eye to the horizon, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is both functional and elegant, featuring rich wooden cabinetry, sleek black granite countertops, and high-end appliances including a Nespresso machine, ice maker, and double refrigerator and freezer. A spacious island encourages guests to gather and chat while meals are prepared, making it an ideal space for a private chef experience. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast nook offers stunning views of La Belle Creole, with windows that open wide to welcome the soft ocean breeze.
The air-conditioned family room provides a cool retreat, complete with a dining table for indoor meals and artwork by celebrated local artist Natalie Lepine, whose pieces reflect the vibrant culture of Saint Martin.
Outdoors
The villa’s expansive terrace serves as the heart of the home — a stunning outdoor sanctuary with endless views of the Caribbean Sea. A sparkling infinity pool invites you to take a dip under the warm island sun, while a gazebo positioned at the cliff’s edge offers a romantic spot to enjoy sunset views of Anguilla in the distance.
Further down, stone pathways lead to a cosy private seating area perched above the cliffs, where you can listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves below. Every space has been designed to highlight the villa’s spectacular oceanfront position while maintaining complete privacy and tranquillity.
Bedrooms
Each of the five bedrooms at Esprit de la Mer offers breathtaking sea views and refined comfort. Three of the bedrooms, including the grand suite, are located on the upper level, attached to the main house. The remaining two are situated on the lower level near the pool, providing easy access to the terrace and gardens.
All bedrooms are equipped with king-size beds, double-vanity ensuite bathrooms, and walk-in closets. The spa-inspired bathrooms feature rain showers and windows that open to the sea, allowing you to connect with nature in complete serenity. The external access to each room ensures privacy while keeping the main living spaces within easy reach.
Experience
At Esprit de la Mer, luxury and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony. Whether lounging by the infinity pool, savouring a meal with panoramic views, or simply unwinding to the sound of the sea, every moment feels like a celebration of the Caribbean spirit.
Perfectly positioned for both relaxation and exploration, Esprit de la Mer captures the true essence of coastal living — a haven where the spirit of the sea embraces you from every direction.
