La Vie en Bleu

La Vie en Bleu is a private oasis above a sandy section of Baie Rouge Beach. From every corner you see the brilliant azure sea and clear blue sky; on the horizon is Anguilla. It is a peaceful location, perfect for honeymoons or romantic getaways. The layout of the villa is also suitable for two couples. Designed to act like two separate living spaces, this unique contemporary villa features a main living space with large primary suite on the upper beach level with an elegant mountain-facing apartment on the lower level.

A covered terrace opens to a large pool deck providing ample outdoor living and dining. Travertine tiles and epi wood flow throughout. The beautiful pool, trimmed in river pebbles, visually blend with the sea and beach. A unique little pebble 'river' connects the pool with the Jacuzzi. Beach access is off the main terrace.

The air-conditioned upper level is a comfortable, contemporary open plan great room decorated in neutrals, dark woods with lovely accent pieces. Columns unobtrusively define the spaces. High vaulted ceilings create an airy feel. The chic modern kitchen opens to the view and outdoor dining room. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, running the length of the main space, create a seamless transition from the interior to exterior providing unobstructed views. Off the great room is the primary bedroom with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that bring in the view; black-out curtains close for privacy. Beautiful Creole windows and serene furnishings create a private oasis bedroom. The spa-style primary bath suite, in tumbled marble and mosaic tiles, opens to a huge outdoor shower terrace. A stone path off the terrace connects to the sea-facing gym.

The lower level features a self-contained apartment with kitchen. Facing Mont-Rouge, the mood is private and peaceful. The interior is stylishly appointed in soft greys, pops of color and dark woods. The large spa-style bath with walk-in shower is clad in travertine tiles and dark woods.

The French Lowlands or Terres Basses are a neighborhood of million-dollar estates, build on the rolling hills of St. Martin's westernmost region

The Lowlands are the location of some spectacular beaches: Baie Longue and Baie aux Prumes (Long Beach and Plum Beach) are secluded, have public parking, but no services. Neither beach is ever crowded. Baie Rouge is set amongst some dramatic red cliffs. The elegant homes in Terres Basses are sitting on generous lots, most of them with gorgeous views of either the Lagoon or the ocean, or both. Many villas can be rented on a weekly basis as the ultimate vacation-get-a-way.

By car its about 10 minutes away from Marigot, and 15 minutes away from the airport.
