Perched on one of French St. Martin’s most stunning promontories, Villa Libellule, or “The Dragonfly,” is a five-bedroom retreat nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the picturesque Simpson Bay Lagoon in Terres Basses.

Set on five acres of elevated beachfront, the villa offers complete privacy with direct access to Baie Rouge beach via a private pathway. A gently sloping driveway leads from the gated entrance through lush tropical gardens and past panoramic lagoon views, arriving at the main entrance with a breathtaking vista of the Caribbean Sea.

To the right of the driveway lies a pool house featuring an impressive pool with views over the lagoon, ideal for taking in the gorgeous Caribbean sunsets. The pool area includes a covered wet bar with a refrigerator, a surround sound system, and a bathroom with a shower. The main entrance opens to a fountained courtyard that leads into Libellule’s spacious, high-ceilinged living area, framed by traditional Caribbean shutters. This airy space is cool and inviting, with limestone flooring, ceiling fans, comfortable seating, and a dining area, all benefiting from the refreshing sea breezes. At the far end, shuttered doors open to a magnificent seafront terrace, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean and Anguilla on the horizon, with a lounging area and a covered patio for al fresco dining.

Adjacent to the living area, the large kitchen is equipped with light wood cabinetry, a central island, double sinks, Bosch appliances, and a Siemens gas cooktop. A stone pathway lined with cashew trees leads from the kitchen to a charming octagonal breakfast gazebo overlooking Baie Rouge beach and the sea below.

The villa’s five bedrooms, separate from the main living areas, are accessible from the exterior, following the property’s natural slope. Two bedrooms, including the brand-new master suite, are located on the main level and accessed from the courtyard. The master suite boasts a calming beige and white palette, ample closet space, and a private terrace with lagoon and garden views. Its en-suite bathroom features a glass-walled shower, double vanities, and a separate toilet and bidet. Adjacent is a twin bedroom in cool mint green, with an en-suite bathroom overlooking the garden. Further down the slope are two additional bedrooms, each with king-size beds, one decorated in vibrant jungle hues and the other with a marine blue seashell theme. Both offer private terraces, walk-in closets, and en-suite bathrooms with slate-tiled open showers. The fifth bedroom is situated on the lowest level with a king-size bed, terrace overlooking the garden, and an en-suite bathroom with an open shower. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with ceiling fans and Smart TVs.

Perfect for groups of friends or families with older children, Villa Libellule is located in the exclusive residential area of Terres Basses. It’s just minutes away from French-side dining, a gourmet bakery, and a grocery store, and a short ten-minute drive from Maho’s casinos and Porto Cupecoy’s restaurants on the Dutch side. The Princess Juliana International Airport is just a convenient fifteen-minute drive from the villa.
