Villa Nuit Blanche, St Martin. Recently renovated and updated, the charming Villa Nuit Blanche is a remarkably luxurious property along the French side of St. Martin. Set at the western end and in Terres Basses, it is a private spot for a group or family to use as the ultimate retreat. It features beautiful gardens and grounds, and these are used to frame irresistible outdoor spaces.

At the heart of the property is the wonderful pool terrace. Here, a classic rectangular pool is flanked on one edge by a sun deck furnished with unique and stylish four-poster sun beds. At another edge is an array of classic lounges, and to another side still is a dining gazebo and bar. This is easily going to become a preferred gathering spot at the edge of the garden and where sunrises, sunsets and starry skies can be savored.

Making the most of the lush setting, the villa also features an enormous verandah that is more of a great room than porch. It features full-sized banquettes and lounging pieces as well as a low-key dining room. It all opens into the heart of the villa; its enormous great room. With high, painted white ceilings and oversized windows and doors, the open floor plan allows all of the sunlight and fresh air to make its way easily inside. There is a TV lounge, a dining suite, and a masterful gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, and direct access outdoors.

Each of the three bedrooms is meant to serve as a private getaway with ensuite baths as well as luxurious outdoor tubs for soaks beneath the stars. The bedrooms range in size from two king suites to a dual twin suite (convertible to king). They open to the terraces and will be sure to encourage hours of rejuvenation and relaxation.

When seeking a private island hideaway on St. Martin, it will be difficult to beat the luxuries and setting of the Villa Nuit Blanche.
