Grand Bleu

OVERVIEW

A vibrant blue gate sets the stage for mesmerizing 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 chic and 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 alfresco dining and lounging. Soft white walls, colorful 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 in size with sea and lower pool views. The interiors are sleek and tranquil in whites and neutrals accented with color pops; each room is 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.

Three bedrooms are off the main space. The upper bedroom terrace has views of the sea and a 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 'river' and downstairs with its own private entry just off the upper-level pool.

Although very secluded, you are very close to amenities. Walk to Plum Beach. Drive 5 minutes to Baie Nettle's new culinary stars; Le Sand, Dreams, and Mezza Luna. A 10-minute drive brings you to the charming French capital of Marigot with restaurants, shops and galleries, historic buildings, and the Creole Market. Drive 25 minutes to Grand Case; 30 to Philipsburg's shopping haven and a mere 10 to the airport.

Can be rented as a two, three, and four bedroom villa.
