La Vue Folle
Caribbean / St. Martin / St. Martin (French)
La Vue Folle, meaning “a crazy sight,” is an eye-catching villa that lives up to the name.
Overview
The main entrance leads out onto the terrace, where guests face impeccable views of Simpson Bay Lagoon unlike anything before. The backdrop of the water against the mountainous scenery captures a unique picture, no client has ever laid eyes on. This home features two pools, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and five luxurious bedrooms across two wings; nothing can quite match this home.
The original Moroccan style of this property encourages an array of impressive amenities and decor that maintains the traditional bones of the house but with a modern twist. The interior is equally as remarkable as the exterior with a meandering floorplan that leads guests into their individual oasis with a deluxe common area in the centre. This home is truly magnificent and clients wishing to stay in this villa are in for a real treat.
The exterior takes advantage of its prime positioning by highlighting Simpson Bay with an oval infinity heated pool acting as the stage for the view and a rectangular pool next to it; why have one pool when there could be two? A separate set of stepping stones, leading from the driveway, extends to an outdoor kitchen that is situated next to the rectangular pool. This creates the perfect place for hosting an event, while separate from the main villa. The kitchen includes a barbeque, a breakfast bar and a dining table beneath a dome structure acting as a culinary cocoon from the sun.
Adjacent to this structure is a hidden alcove for reading a book or sparking conversation among friends. A concealed flight of steps, between the pools, leads visitors to a viewing area in which they can observe the sunset while sipping champagne. The additional outdoor dining table is located closer to the home, suited for cooking a casual meal or perhaps hiring a private chef to further embrace the scenery. Completing the outdoor amenities is a private gym positioned alongside the rectangular pool, offering guests a dedicated space to maintain their wellness routine without ever leaving the villa.
The interior structure of the home is just as enchanting by attracting guests in with the high ceilings and the seamless flow from room to room. As clients enter, there is a glass door entrance that attends to the substantial living space. This room includes comfortable sofas and a large TV, along with speakers, ideal for listening to music while remaining out of the sun for an air-conditioned experience.
The kitchen is set to the right of the living room through an arched entryway. The L-shaped kitchen is accompanied by a central island, an induction stove, glass cupboards and even a pantry for storing food. Directly in front of the kitchen, is a beautiful wooden dining table with a carved mandala shape in the center, lit up by a contemporary lighting fixture for savoring a wonderful dinner.
The three bedrooms of the main villa stem from the heart of the home, with one room having an exterior entrance and the other two attached to the villa itself. The rooms feature king-size beds, spectacular en-suites, and an individual outdoor terrace with spacious closets to store clothes in.
The primary bedroom has interior and exterior access with a vast ensuite bathroom that includes a jacuzzi with a view. All of the bedrooms include comfortable seating to unwind in the cozy atmosphere. The second bedroom is attached to the left of the living space and includes the main king-size bed with a niche set of bunkbeds for accommodating additional children in the home (for further details on this, contact us, because this five-bedroom home could be adapted for 4 additional children). This bedroom also includes a private outdoor oasis with an arch of leaves around it.
Lastly, the third bedroom is accessed through its exterior entrance near the front. By walking in, clients are faced with a mini set of stairs to the right, acting as an additional mezzanine for children. Continuing further will reveal a low-laying bed with spectacular tall ceilings and an additional indoor and outdoor shower to fulfil the natural sense of this villa.
The newly added second wing introduces two additional bedrooms, each offering the same level of luxury and privacy that defines La Vue Folle. Thoughtfully designed to complement the original Moroccan aesthetic of the main villa, these rooms provide guests with their own secluded retreat within the property. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned, including en-suite bathrooms, and private outdoor terraces - ideal for accommodating larger groups or extended families while preserving an intimate atmosphere for each guest.
La Vue Folle lives up to its name, offering unparalleled views of Simpson Bay Lagoon, a luxurious interior, and captivating outdoor spaces. With its Mediterranean influence, well-equipped kitchen, and lavish bedrooms, this villa strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, providing an extraordinary retreat for those seeking an unforgettable experience.
