Villa Les Zephyrs, a Colonial West Indian Villa Above Baie Longue

Villa Les Zephyrs sits in Terres Basses, one of Saint Martin's most coveted villa enclaves, with a view that feels beautifully composed: the Caribbean Sea beyond the terrace, Saba and St. Eustatius on the horizon, La Samanna and the pale sweep of Baie Longue in the foreground.

The villa has an elegant colonial West Indian character, arranged in a graceful U-shape around a flowered interior courtyard. Inside, antique and modern furnishings sit against cool marble floors, giving the house a polished, collected feel. There is a living room, dining room, kitchen, TV room, porch, patio and terrace, so guests can drift easily between quiet corners and shared spaces.

Outdoors, the pool deck is made for unhurried St. Martin days: coffee in the shade, lunch from the barbecue, a swim when the sun gets persuasive. The garden gives the property a private, softened edge, while the terrace keeps the sea in sight.

Each of the three bedrooms has a king bed and en-suite bathroom, making Les Zephyrs especially comfortable for three couples or a small family group of up to six guests. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a stereo system, laundry facilities and a generator add the practical comforts that keep a Caribbean stay relaxed.
