Nearby is a gorgeous alfresco dining suite, which is near the breakfast bar that opens into the gourmet kitchen inside.

Indoors, the great room features a mostly white and natural wood palette accented by bursts of color and airy design. The high ceilings and oversized floor-to-ceiling doors bring in the sea breezes and sea views. The living room offers a banquette sofa around the entertainment system, and this space opens into the deluxe kitchen with its premium appliances and gear.

The five-bedroom home features four king-sized suites, and each offers a private terrace, an ensuite bath, a premium entertainment system, and a working or sitting area to enjoy. There is also a charming bunk room with a terrace and bath.

What a truly stunning villa. The layout is perfect for a big group, with privacy, yet large comfortable common areas. The indoor outdoor space and the infinity pool are incredible. We traveled all around the island and without a doubt Cul de Sac has the best views. Proximity to Anse Marcel, Grand Case and Pinel Island are an added bonus. Thiabaud will make your stay extra special, helping with any day to day requests. Our group of 9 was ages 7-70 and there was something for everyone. We hope to go back one day.

Martin Mar, 2024

The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The view is unsurpassed. Beautiful grounds, dock, and pool. It was great to be able to kayak to Pinel Island. Thibault, the concierge, made the trip memorable and gave us a level of service I have never before experienced. He arranged rides, taxis, dinner reservations upon request, and even deliveries to the house. He was always available for help. We would definitely book again!

Another member of our family communicated with St. Martin Blue, but everything seemed to be easy and smooth.

Nadine Jul, 2023

The house was beautiful. Very impressed by the attention to detail. For example, speaker system, every kitchen utensil you would need, hand soap in bathroom, and bathroom spray. All the comforts of home and so much more. I would definitely return.

Petra Aug, 2022

We stayed with a family of 12 at Villa Mapai in July 2022. The villa is truly amazing, spacious, and decorated very nicely. The pool is great, and everybody was hanging out there and having fun. The canoes were great for paddling to Pinel Island and making some tours in the bay. Leonard and Max welcomed us all and were terrific at working with us. They organized transportation, replied to questions with the speed of lightning, a late checkout, and helped in general make our stay unforgettable.

A great organization, they were very flexible as we needed to postpone our trip twice due to the pandemic. Leonard and Max were fabulous hosts, and I would recommend St Martin Blue to anyone!

Michael May, 2022

Villa Mapai was most definitely the nicest villa we have rented thus far. It was equipped with all the necessities and much more. Housekeeping did a terrific job keeping it spotless. Our concierge, Tribaud Martin was awesome and always there for anything we needed. The villa itself was amazing with the most beautiful views you could want. It was equipped with 5 kayaks and a paddleboard which we used daily to visit Pinel Island. The floorplan of Villa Mapai was perfect with its true indoor/outdoor living spaces and views. Highly recommend! A+++++

St. Martin Blue was the ultimate vacation villa management company. They handled everything for us from COVID travel requirements, airport pickup, housekeeping, rental car delivery and so much more. Housekeeping kept the villa spotless. The villa concierge, Thibaud Martin was fantastic. He was always just a call or text away from handling anything we needed from resturant/beach bar recommendations to anything we needed. 5 Star concierge and villa management company. St. Martin Blue and Thibaud really set the bar higher.

Margaret Apr, 2022

The house was fabulous. It was very clean and new. The rooms and bathrooms were great and the deck and outdoor living space was amazing. You can kayak five minutes to a little island with beautiful clear water and small little beach or ten minute kayak to pinel island. It is a five to ten minute drive to the restaurants of Grand Case, a five minute drive to orient beach and those restaurants, and a three minute drive to Super U and a fabulous french bakery. Everything in the house was superb. Thibaud, the manager, and the housekeeping staff were great too. I highly recommend this house. We had three families (2 kids and 2 adults each).

Great company to work with. They were very responsive.

Greg Apr, 2022

Great villa on the ocean. Clean. Well appointed. Beautiful pool. 6 great bedrooms all en suite baths. On the ocean, and easy Kayak to Pinel Island for first class beach.
Great service too. Rental cars delivered to villa. Daily maid service. And villa manager’s restaurant recommendations and reservation help was impeccable. Also brought a nurse over in second to last day for mandatory Covid tests for re-entry to US. Fabulous trip

Lucy Jul, 2021

The villa was absolutely perfect. We loved every moment. The concierge Thibaut made all of our wishes come true - even ones we did not know we had!

Common Questions
Do we share the villa? click to close

For example, a 5 bedroom villa that offers a 3 bedroom rate will be the exclusive use of the guest but two bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms will be locked off. Capacity is capped at 2 guests per bedroom.
Are we protected from fraud? click to open
Yes. St. Martin Blue stands behind you throughout your entire vacation. Unlike other companies, each property we offer has been hand picked to ensure that our standards are met. All property managers are vetted and payments are required to be held in escrow. Our primary obligation is to ensure your satisfaction and to have an exceptionally memorable vacation.
Can you explain the reservation process? click to open

Early check in may be possible but is at the sole discretion of the property manager. Early check in permission may not be granted until 24 hours prior to arrival.
Can we arrange a late check out? click to open
A late check out is rarely granted due to the turnover needs of a villa. A late check out may only be granted 24 hours prior to your departure from the property and only when there is no check in scheduled on the day of your check out. If a late check out is urgently needed please contact us.
Are transfers to the property included? click to open

For more details, please visit Travel Protection
What happens if the property becomes unavailable after I reserve? click to open
In the unlikely event, the rented property becomes unavailable due to a major issue that may affect a guest's experience or a transfer of ownership, St. Martin Blue will coordinate with the property manager to find an alternate property of equal or superior standard that is subject to the guest's approval. If an alternate property is not acceptable to the guest, the guest will receive a full refund.

Yes, we accept all major credit cards. American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted. Please note that credit card charges may be subject to additional fees. There are no fees with payment by wire transfer or check.
In the near future, we expect to accept a greater variety of payment methods and currencies via Stripe.
Is housekeeping included? click to open
Housekeeping tends to be a standard among vacation homes but the frequency may vary greatly depending on the property manager’s standards. Most properties will offer daily housekeeping (except Sunday and holidays) while other villas may only provide a mid-week cleaning. Please refer to the Staff section to learn about the housekeeping frequency of the property.
Are towels and linens provided? click to open
Yes. The property will provide bath and pool towels along with linens. Towels and linens will be refreshed as needed.
Are toiletries and tissues provided? click to open
A property may supply an initial supply of soap, shampoo, toilet paper and paper towels but replenishment of supplies once exhausted may be the responsibility of the guest. Each property varies in their handling of toiletries and paper products.
Is a hair dryer available? click to open
A hair dryer should be available at the property. Upon arrival, please check the bathrooms or closet. Typically, a hair dryer is included in each bathroom.
