Joie de Vivre
Caribbean / St. Martin / St. Martin (French)
Villa Joie de Vivre is located directly on Baie Rouge beach, one of the most prestigious and serene beaches in French Saint Martin.
Overview
This exceptionally private villa overlooks 4 secure acres surrounded by tropical gardens and endless breathtaking views of the ocean. Villa Joie de Vivre is a fully air-conditioned, multi-level villa which has been completely refurbished inside and out for 2024 with a modern coastal aesthetic to complement its Mediterranean architecture.
The main living area is comprised of an open-plan living and dining area with a fully-equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, gas range, wine fridge, and coffee/espresso bar. Step outside to enjoy one of the three covered gazebos for alfresco dining or lounging on one of the multiple plush seating options while enjoying scenic views at every turn of the Caribbean Sea and Anguilla.
Ideal for a group of friends or family, you are sure to be happy with whichever of the three king size bedrooms you select. Each has a balcony with ocean view, walk-in closets, safes and their own ensuite bathrooms with double vanities and oversized showers. Wake up refreshed in the villa’s Heavenly Beds complete with luxurious linens and pillows. One bedroom also features a sleeper sofa and two rooms have desks. All bedrooms and bathrooms have 110v/220v 60Hz outlets with USB connections.
One of the main attractions of Villa Joie de Vivre is its direct access to the very peaceful and secluded Baie Rouge beach. The villa is perfect for those who want to be right on the beach, while maintaining their privacy. Guests can snorkel in the calm waters or sunbathe on the provided chaise lounges, then slip back through their private locked gate to relax in the hot tub. The property’s other centerpiece is the pool deck with its 18’ x 35’ heated saltwater pool, lined by double sunbeds, a shaded gazebo lounge, BBQ area with fridge and bathroom.
Guests can stay connected with the Villa Joie de Vivre’s interior and exterior high speed wireless internet, relax to music via the zoned Sonos speaker system throughout or binge their favorite show on smart TVs provided in the kitchen, living room and all bedrooms. Unwind by playing one of the well stocked board games or singing a favorite song on the portable karaoke machine. Baby monitors and an AED defibrillator are also located onsite.
There are many ways to experience the “joy of living” at Villa Joie de Vivre. Skip the airport or ferry and have a helicopter pick you up directly in the backyard to fly you within minutes to St. Barths for lunch or Anguilla for a round of golf. The expansive grounds make it an ideal setting to accommodate a glamorous wedding reception after you walk down the aisle on the beach. Or perhaps you are a land-lover seeking a break from a boat charter, where you can easily tender back and forth from your yacht via the beach.
An additional remodeled 800 sf guest house will be available January 1, 2025 as a fourth bedroom with living room and sleeper sofa option, perfect for parents with children. Villa Joie de Vivre is located only minutes away from grocery stores, boutiques and waterfront restaurants in Marigot and Cupecoy as well as a 15 minute drive from Princess Juliana International Airport.
