One of our personal favourites, Ambiance is perfect for groups with kids who need a little extra room to run around outside, not to mention one of the biggest private pools on island.

This extraordinary estate style villa enchants the moment you enter the gate. The long, palm-lined drive brings you to a large private courtyard and garden. Beyond the front door is a stunning house and one of the most dazzling oceans views on island. Panoramic vistas flow from every room and terrace. The colors are magical. An expansive stretch of sapphire sea is framed by the villa’s gardens and the rich blue sky. The large contoured pool edges overlap the lawn adding crystal blue tones to the scene.

The house is open, airy and spacious; a perfect villa for an extended family, weddings or company retreat. It has everything you need to enjoy the day from dawn until dusk. The overall decor is sleek, elegant and contemporary but never boring. The large interior living room, perfect for conversation or entertainment, tastefully mixes natural elements and rich tones; dark wood and teak, wicker, cream and pops of color. Pocket doors disappear into the walls enhancing the view. Although sea views and breezes abound, the great room is fully air conditioned.

The interior dining room sits adjacent to the unique kitchen area. Divided into two rooms, half the space is devoted to a gorgeous chef’s kitchen with flat screen TV. The other half is a fabulous gathering space with bar and seating. A cozy al fresco dining area sits in the courtyard just off the bar. Deep covered terraces and open sundecks surround the house, the main pool and lap pool. Comfortable lounges and dining spaces abound.

The four equal size bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Two sit on each end of the villa. The decor creates a serene atmosphere blending designer touches and art; neutral tones of beige, brown, black or grey and white with individual pops of rich color. Each room has private seating, sea views and beautiful spa style bathrooms in travertine, stone and wood. Three bathrooms have private outdoor showers; one has a sea view.

Although secluded, you are close to amenities. It’s a short drive to Plum Bay Beach and to Baie Nettles new culinary stars; Le Sand, Dreams and Mezza Luna. You are five minutes to the airport. In 10 minute you reach the charming French capital of Marigot with restaurants, shops and galleries, historic buildings and Creole Market. Drive 25 minutes to Grand Case and Philipsburg’s shopping haven.
