This charming and colorful hillside villa boasts panoramic sea and bay views and is one of our favorite St. Martin vacation rentals for friends or families traveling together. The tropical island of St. Martin is known for its colorful trees, excellent diving, eclectic nightlife scene and secluded beaches.

Stretch out on one of the comfy lounge chaises on the bright terracotta sun deck with a cold drink while looking over views of the water below. Just a step down, you’ll find another wooden terrace with planted palm trees and a large swimming pool. After you’ve spent a day lounging, stay outdoors with an alfresco meal enjoyed in the airy dining gazebo.

The interior of this villa fully evokes the spirit of the sea—the living room features blue furnishings and a vaulted ceiling set against warm terracotta tiled floors and plenty of natural sunlight. This space as boasts French doors that up to the terrace, as does the kitchen where you’ll find all the appliances you need to cook up an island-inspired meal.
