Casa Aquila, a Beachfront Villa on Baie Rouge in Terres Basses

Casa Aquila sits directly on the sands of Baie Rouge in Terres Basses, one of St Martin’s most coveted addresses for space, privacy, and that blue-on-blue Caribbean view people remember long after the tan has faded. The villa is made for unhurried days: coffee by the water, swims before lunch, a late dinner outside with the sound system low and the sea doing most of the talking.

Designed for up to 10 guests, Casa Aquila has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, giving every guest room the comfort of its own beautifully appointed ensuite, plus an additional bathroom for convenience. The interiors lean clean and contemporary, with an airy palette, generous natural light, and large windows and sliding doors that pull the garden, terrace, pool, and ocean into daily view.

The main living areas open to an expansive terrace, where an oversized private pool faces the beach. There is outdoor seating for slow afternoons, dining space for meals under the sky, and a barbecue for the kind of evening that starts casually and somehow becomes the best memory of the trip. Inside, the fully equipped kitchen includes proper appliances and cookware, so breakfast can be as simple as toast and fruit or as ambitious as a full villa dinner.

Casa Aquila also suits guests who like their beach holiday with a little structure. There is a fitness center, laptop-friendly workspace, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry facilities, satellite TV, and parking. Families are welcome, including children and infants, and the villa includes thoughtful basics such as linens, bath towels, beach essentials, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hangers, extra pillows, and lit access at night.

• 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms for up to 10 guests
