Panoramic Cliffside Elegance at Le Caprice, Baie Rouge
Welcome to Le Caprice, a spectacular seven-bedroom estate perched above Baie Rouge in the exclusive enclave of Terres Basses, St. Martin’s French side. From its privileged promontory setting, the villa commands breathtaking 270-degree views encompassing the Caribbean Sea, Simpson Bay Lagoon, and neighboring Dutch St. Maarten — while offering direct beach access via its own private garden pathway.
Recently reimagined, Le Caprice pairs classic French Caribbean architecture with refined contemporary interiors, creating a residence that is both timeless and modern. Available as a four-, five-, six-, or seven-bedroom configuration, the villa offers flexibility for families and larger gatherings alike.
Living Spaces
The expansive main terrace is anchored by a striking blue mosaic infinity pool that appears to merge seamlessly with the sea beyond. Stone paving and rich hardwood decking frame the pool, where elegant loungers and shaded seating areas invite relaxed afternoons overlooking the horizon.
A spacious gazebo lounge provides an inviting setting for sunset cocktails, while a separate covered dining pavilion with gas BBQ and wet bar creates the perfect environment for alfresco meals with panoramic views.
Inside, traditional wooden shutters frame the ocean views and open into a large contemporary living space with parquet flooring throughout. The lounge features an oversized sofa and widescreen television, flowing into a chic dining area with seating for twelve.
The newly renovated kitchen blends slate gray and white cabinetry with granite countertops, a breakfast bar with Tribu stools, dual Liebherr refrigerators, a wine cooler, and premium appliances — thoughtfully designed for both private chefs and casual family dining.
