Terres Basses · Simpson Bay Lagoon · Saint Martin
A Moroccan-style villa above Simpson Bay Lagoon with two pools, an outdoor kitchen under a dome, a private gym and five bedrooms across two wings.
The villa
Outside
The exterior takes advantage of its prime positioning with an oval infinity heated pool acting as the stage for the view and a rectangular pool next to it. Stepping stones lead from the driveway to the outdoor kitchen, a culinary cocoon from the sun, with a hidden alcove beside it for a book. A concealed flight of steps between the pools leads to a viewing area in which to observe the sunset while sipping champagne.

Around the villa
Inside
A glass door entrance opens onto the substantial living space with comfortable sofas, a large TV and speakers. Through an arched entryway, the L-shaped kitchen has a central island, an induction stove, glass cupboards and a pantry. In front of it sits a beautiful wooden dining table with a carved mandala at its centre, lit by a contemporary fixture. The three bedrooms of the main villa stem from the heart of the home, with king-size beds, spectacular en suites and their own outdoor terraces; the primary bedroom’s bathroom has a bathtub with a view.
The second wing
The newly added second wing introduces two additional bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to complement the original Moroccan aesthetic: generously proportioned, with en suite bathrooms and private outdoor terraces, ideal for larger groups or extended families while preserving an intimate atmosphere for each guest. Construction is scheduled for completion mid-November 2026, and the villa’s photography of the new wing will follow; this image is the architect’s rendering. The new wing is open to 4- and 5-bedroom bookings.
After dark
Simpson Bay Lagoon is one of the largest saltwater lagoons in the northeastern Caribbean, calm, sheltered and shared between the French and Dutch sides. From the infinity pool at night the lights of Simpson Bay and Marigot trace the far shore.
Where you are
The gated community of Terres Basses on the island’s western tip: the beaches of Baie Longue and Baie Rouge are minutes away, Marigot and the airport about ten minutes, Grand Case and Philipsburg about half an hour.
