The layout of the Villa is designed to make the most out of the fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea, Guana Bay and Saint Barts, as well as the sea breeze that provides natural cooling.

If you feel like a pizzaiolo, this is your chance and we will happily provide you with some firewood, to get it up and running!


-- LOCATION --
Our property is located in exclusive Tamarind Hill, on a beautiful hillside overlooking the crystal waters of the Caribbean Sea and Saint Barts. Tamarind Hill is a safe and secure gated community with 24/7 security. In addition, our property is equipped with a single outdoor security camera, which faces the entry gate and remains connected 24/7.

Not only is our home ideal for a super relaxing stay, it is also close to the best the island has to offer, situated just a few minutes away from the border. Here are a few distances to give you an idea of how central our villa is: Philipsburg 10 minutes; Orient Beach 15/20 minutes; Grand Case 20/25 minutes; Simpson Bay 25 minutes.

Tamarind Hill has its own quasi-private sandy beach, called Gibbs Bay, which can be accessed on foot or by car without leaving the community. It is a small wild beach (no facilities), which is best in calm weather as the reef comes almost all the way to the shore. Sint Maarten has so many beaches, which are all worth visiting, 37 of them! Villa Tamarind’s location also allows you to take gorgeous morning walks throughout the community and all the way to Guana Bay and onwards if you wish.
