VILLA LE CHÂTEAU DES PALMIERS | An exceptional experience

There are places in the world unlike anything you have ever known before. Places designed to free you from all constraints and inspire you to live life to the full and effortlessly fulfill your every dream. The Château des Palmiers on the idyllic island of Saint Martin is one of these ultra-luxurious settings.

At the south-west tip of the island, the elegant residential neighborhood of the Terres Basses unfolds in a series of dream beaches lapped by crystalline turquoise waters.

A tiny jewel set in the heart of the Caribbean, the island of Saint-Martin is unique. Two cultures, French and Dutch, live side by side, mingling, inspiring and enriching one another, on this tiny territory of only 95 square kilometers. Heavenly beaches, delicious French cuisine, a vibrant nightlife, sports activities, haaute shopping, the island offers visitors all this and more. At the south-west tip of the island, the elegant residential neighborhood of the Terres Basses unfolds a series of dream beaches lapped by crystalline turquoise waters. Soft white sand, lush green vegetation, clear blue waters blending into an azure sky, combine to create the perfect setting. Poised on the magnificent beach of Plum Bay, the Château des Palmiers is an extraordinary property. Designed in 2000 by the French architect Jean-Paul Goergler, the villa is inspired by the luxurious residences of southern France: spacious rooms, opening to the outdoors, seem inviting and intimate in spite of the generous dimensions.

Actually, the Château des Palmiers is composed of two houses: the 5-bedroom house on the beach and the garden side house which includes 4-bedrooms.

The beachside villa is designed entirely with residents and their comfort in mind. The space has been planned to allow all guests to find the pleasure they seek. Five king-size rooms each with a huge en suite bathroom, a spacious living room, a dining room that seats 10, a fully-equipped kitchen and various lounge areas, offer space for all to relax and escape from the stresses of everyday life. Here, your well-being is the top priority. The master suite, covering two floors, includes two terraces overlooking the pool and the sea as well as a Jacuzzi for moments of sublime relaxation.

Set beside one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, this unique villa offers an experience of pure luxury.

For more active guests there is a heated pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, a climate controlled gym, tennis court, and a full multimedia theater. Set in the gorgeous tropical garden, in shaded areas close to the house or by the pool, you will find several spots ideal for outdoor dining or simply for relaxing to enjoy the view.

The second villa looks out on the magnificent gardens. Both houses are surrounded by a grove of palms. The trees themselves, towering and majestic, are an invitation to a voyage of escape. The second house includes 4-bedrooms: the master suite, with its king-size bed and private living room, the Palm Room, also with a vast mahogany king-size bed, and a suite of two bedrooms with queen-size beds. A comfortable living-room and a spacious dining room complete the relaxing atmosphere. From the outset of the design phase, the architect wanted to separate the main guest quarters from the service spaces. Therefore, there is another building a few yards from the beach villa where the staff can work discreetly, offering guests the ultimate freedom of being able to do exactly as they wish.

The garden villa houses the professional kitchen where the chef and his team work their magic. It is an impressively modern and well-equipped space. All the staff members who take care of the property are highly qualified. Always attentive and available, the staff of the Château des Palmiers is there to provide the ultimate in luxury service. They will know how to satisfy your every desire and strive to make your stay unforgettable.

Protected by prying eyes, the villa offers absolute peace and discretion. On the beach side, guests enjoy the breathtaking view of sea and sky in complete privacy.
