How to Stay on This Beach in St Martin

By: - May 7th, 2016

It’s hard to travel around St Martin and not encounter a draw-dropping white-sand beach.

And often the best way to enjoy the island’s beaches is, not in a hotel, but in a villa.

Like, for instance, “Blue Beach,” a spectacular villa currently on offer by St Martin Sotheby’s International Realty.

The villa has four bedrooms, along with a marvelous beachfront pool, an expansive deck with an outdoor shower and a beachfront gazebo.

Everything has been refurbished, meaning you have a brand-new kitchen with ocean views, a spacious living area with all the Netflix you want, and appliances including an induction oven and a wine cooler.

But this is really all about the beach, a superb stretch on the world-famous Baie Longue.

And now’s the time to go, with prices significantly lower between April 15 and Dec. 16.

Bring a few other couples with you and you’re spending about what you would at a luxury hotel — except this comes with your own beach.
