Villa Bel Ombre, Marigot

Having a calm, simple place to relax while on vacation has always been important. Villa Bel Ombre was built with that in mind. The four-bedroom luxury rental property is located in Marigot, just a few short minutes away from beaches and shopping. Thanks to its hillside position, it has sweeping views over the bay.

Walking into Villa Bel Ombre feels a bit like entering a tropical paradise. Bamboo frames the entranceway to the single-level residence, which is adorned with a palette of beige and white. The living area is inviting and airy, thanks to comfortable furniture and open walls on two sides, allowing the Caribbean breezes to waft through.

The heart of the villa, though, is the outdoor area. A long terrace stretches out beneath a shady roof and classical columns, with lounge chairs and a small dining table underneath. It surrounds the heated infinity pool, which has steps and a bench for sitting.

Inside, a breakfast bar with stools divides the kitchen from the indoor dining room and the living area beyond. This living room has wraparound sofas with ample seating.

Arrayed around the central space, the four bedrooms open onto the pool terrace and have sea views. Each has air-conditioning, a king-size bed, screens to allow natural ventilation, and an ensuite bathroom with a large shower.
