Villa Thi Majaste, St Martin. 

The marvelous one-bedroom Villa Thi Majaste is a surprisingly amenities- rich spot from which to enjoy a visit to St. Martin’s French side. High towards the north and gazing down at the charming bay and beach of Anse Marcel, it is a perfect choice for solo travelers and couples eager to have privacy, luxury, comfort and a convenient location. Minutes to town, it allows guests to enjoy the area’s great beaches and restaurants, shops and nightlife within minutes. It is not far from the Princess Juliana Airport, as well, and will work well if a convenient base from which to explore all of St. Martin is the goal.

Naturally, it is more than just a good location and provides visitors with a stunning collection of amenities typically reserved for the much larger properties. Though it is a single-bedroom hideaway, it is very roomy and airy and features a large number of outdoor living spaces. The most appealing is the pool terrace that includes a coral stone surround and beautifully tiled plunge pool that looks out towards the bay below. There is a sun deck to one side, and an outdoor lounge at the other. Most visitors love to spend time in the hammock chair just outside of the bedroom, and the alfresco dining niche is set directly in the center. Banks of glass doors line the verandah and allow easy access to any of the interiors.

Intended to erase lines dividing indoors from outdoors, the interior spaces feature pale colors, high ceilings and lots of natural materials. The great room features an open floor plan and encompasses the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The living room is well-appointed and offers a large sofa area and entertainment system. The dining spot is adjacent to the kitchen, and the kitchen is furnished with the best appliances and gear possible to make meal and drink prep a snap.

The large, luxurious bedroom is a dream and opens to the terrace and lounge area. It has a king-sized bed, and an opulently designed master bath with stone on the walls, marble countertops, and luxury fittings. Large enough for a sitting area, it also has a huge closet that leads to a side terrace in the garden.

Idyllic and beautiful, the Villa Thi Majaste is a wonderful find for solo travelers and couples alike and is certain to satisfy any who visit whether for a long weekend or a much longer stay.
