Villa Avanti in Terres Basses, a Five Bedroom Sea View Villa with Saltwater Infinity Pool

Villa Avanti sits within the gated enclave of Les Terres Basses in St Martin, where a palm-lined arrival gives way to a broad, open living space and a 180-degree sweep of Caribbean Sea. On the horizon, Saba rises like a blue-green punctuation mark. The mood is private, polished, and deeply relaxed, with clean contemporary architecture softened by warm woods, woven textures, primitive art, and earthy burnt-orange accents.

The villa is arranged for up to 10 guests across five king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. It is an unusually easy layout for five couples or a multi-generational group, since nobody is quietly drawing the short straw. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, smart TV, satellite and cable, a sound system, and a security system keep the practical side nicely handled.

Outside, the L-shaped saltwater infinity pool is the villa’s great theatre piece. It has a built-in table and seating area, a central daybed island, and both step entry and a beach-style slope. Daybeds, parasols, deck loungers, a terrace, balcony, outdoor shower, garden, and gazebo make long pool days feel properly catered for. The gazebo, with its leaf-patterned ceiling and wet bar, is made for the golden hour ritual: a cold drink, the sea turning silver, and no urgent plans whatsoever.

Meals are easy here, from breakfast at the bar to dinners at the indoor dining table or outdoors by the barbecue. The fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster, blender, ice maker, wine fridge, cookware, and dining essentials. A housekeeper is included, which gives the stay that extra layer of hotel-like ease without losing the privacy of a villa.

For guests who like their Caribbean holidays with a little movement, Villa Avanti has plenty to work with: a fitness area, yoga area, hot tub, spa and massage amenities, bicycles, stand-up paddle boards, tennis access, and proximity to boating, fishing, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, hiking, golf, bird watching, reef exploring, and beachcombing. Restaurants, groceries, shopping, an ATM or bank, and medical services are also close by.
