Escape to this secluded villa set upon the hills of Terres Basse—French for “Love’s Nest,” this charming two-bedroom home near the beach is one of our top St. Martin vacation rentals for romantic getaways. St. Martin is known for its unique mix of European and Caribbean culture, as well as its fantastic beaches, agreeable climate and lively nightlife scene.

Take in stunning views of Baie Rouge while lounging on one of the cushioned sun chaises on the villa’s back terrace. They surround the uniquely designed pool that’s framed by pillars—it’s heated and is lit up at night for swims under the stars. There’s also an outdoor jacuzzi that’s perfect for soaking sore muscles after a day of island exploring. You can keep meal times casual by firing up the barbecue and dining alfresco—and you won’t need to lift a finger; a housekeeping service is included in the rental.
