A vibrant blue gate sets the stage for mesmerising sea views, photogenic sunsets, unique water features and stylish tropical living straight out of a design magazine. Entering through the courtyard, a pebbled tropical stream flows invitingly around the upper level. Walk through the blue front door and a panoramic vision in brilliant greens and blues flows all the way from the turquoise pool to the sea and beyond to the horizon. The scene is dramatic, magical and serene.

Open, airy interior and exterior rooms, with high vaulted ceilings and creamy stone floors, blend seamlessly to create a chicly contemporary, comfortable space. Expansive floor to ceiling glass walls and sliding glass doors open wide to the sea view, the upper pool and spacious outdoor terraces for al fresco dining and lounging. Soft white walls, colourful modern art and accessories plus sleek furniture in off-white and taupe are complemented by dark woods for an inviting and relaxing style. Off the dining area, facing the sea, is a modern, open kitchen in white, grey, steel and black granite.

The four bedrooms are housed in two wings. Every bedroom is equal size with sea and lower pool views. The interiors are sleek and tranquil in whites and neutrals accented with colour pops; each room distinctive in blue, turquoise, brown and red. The beautiful spa style marble and stone bathrooms feature spacious walk in showers with sea and pool views; one has a private outdoor shower.

3 bedrooms are off the main space. The upper bedroom terrace has views of the sea and beautiful lower pool. Downstairs are two pool level bedrooms each with views, private terraces and ladders so you can dip in the pool from your room. The fourth bedroom, with direct lower pool access, is across the upper level, and downstairs with its own private entry just off the upper level pool.

*Can be rented as a 2-3 & 4 bedroom villa.

The Lowlands are the location of some spectacular beaches: Baie Longue and Baie aux Prunes (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.
