Mer Soleilin Terres Basses, St Martin

Approaching Villa Mer Soleil, guests are greeted by an exotic blend of French Creole charm and Mediterranean influences.

Vibrant mosaics adorn the whitewashed walls, embracing the teak main gate, which is flanked by tall palms in oversized planters. Beyond the gate, a stone-paved drive lined with colorful tropical shrubs and palms leads you to the villa's stunning entrance. Arches, terracotta roofing, columns, and ironwork define the architectural beauty of this remarkable retreat. As you step inside, the dazzling turquoise pool, framed by lush tropical foliage, directs your gaze to the sparkling Caribbean Sea and brilliant blue sky. From here, you can see the island of Saba, Baie Lounge Beach, and the luxury hotel La Samanna. The sunsets here are simply spectacular.

The villa's design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living spaces. The great room features an open plan with a mix of Caribbean touches and French style. Arched windows, doors, and ironwork enhance the exotic ambiance. Rattan, teak, painted, and tiled furniture complement the local art and unique accessories. Cream and blue tones unify the seating and dining areas. The large Provencal-style kitchen, with beautiful wood cabinetry and marble tiles, is equipped with high-end appliances, making it an elegant space for cooking, whether by a professional or an amateur chef. This kitchen opens to a stunning blue-tiled, Moroccan-inspired outdoor kitchen and dining gazebo. It is a delightful place to cook and dine al fresco, with additional living room seating that overlooks the gardens and ocean.

The main villa hosts three bedrooms: two off the upper terrace and one at garden level. Two additional bedrooms are located in a private cottage tucked behind the villa. All bedrooms offer sea or garden views and private seating areas both inside and out. The rooms feature poster beds, rattan and teak furniture, and charming fabrics inspired by Provence and tropical themes in blues, yellows, and whites, creating a romantic atmosphere. The en-suite bathrooms are adorned with traditional Provencal tiles and mosaics, each in a different color. Several bathrooms boast sea or garden views from their walk-in showers. The cottage bedroom suites each have a wet bar and fridge, with an interconnecting door that is perfect for families.

Villa Mer Soleil is conveniently close to many amenities. It's just two minutes to the culinary delights of Baie Nettle's Le Sand, Dreams, and Mezza Luna. Gourmet food and wine stores, along with the Starz Casino and fine dining options like Escape and Temptation, are a short drive away in Cupecoy. A 15-minute drive takes you to the international airport or the vibrant nightlife of Maho. The French capital, Marigot, is also just 15 minutes from the villa, offering duty-free shopping, boutiques, bakeries, and the lively Creole Market.
