Terres Basses | Luxury Villa Rentals in St. Martin

Located on the French side of St. Martin, Terres Basses is renowned for its upscale accommodations and idyllic landscape. The area features three of the island's most beautiful beaches: Baie Longue, Baie aux Prunes, and Baie Rouge. Each beach offers a unique charm, from secluded spots perfect for sunbathing to vibrant areas ideal for water sports. Visitors can explore the local culture, indulge in fine dining, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife nearby.

Terres Basses — the Lowlands — is the most exclusive corner of French St Martin, a quiet residential peninsula on the island’s western tip ringed by some of its finest beaches. Our villas here are among the island’s best: beachfront and hillside estates along the calm bays of Baie Longue, Baie aux Prunes (Plum Bay), and Baie Rouge, many with direct beach access, infinity pools, and wide views across to Anguilla. This is the address for those who want privacy and space away from the busier resort areas, with the island’s dining and beaches still within easy reach. Terres Basses is defined by its calm and its beaches. Baie Longue is the island’s longest and most serene stretch of sand; Baie Rouge and Plum Bay offer snorkeling and quiet swimming; and the gourmet village of Grand Case, the culinary capital of the Caribbean, is a short drive away. The lively Dutch side, with its marinas and Maho’s plane-spotting, and the ferry to Anguilla are both close, so a Terres Basses base combines seclusion with easy access to the whole island. Boat trips leave for the offshore cays of Tintamarre and Pinel. The villas suit families, couples, and groups who want beachfront calm with full service — two- to seven-bedroom estates with staff on request, private chefs, and concierge planning. Princess Juliana International Airport is a short transfer away. The peninsula’s handful of homes and lack of through-traffic give it a rare seclusion for so central an island, and its west-facing beaches deliver some of St Martin’s best sunsets over the water toward Anguilla. Share your dates, group size, and whether you want beachfront Baie Longue, a Plum Bay estate, or a hillside villa with sea views, and we’ll send a curated shortlist of Terres Basses villas, booked direct with no platform fees.

Terres Basses stands out as a premier destination for those seeking quiet luxury, where picturesque beaches meet the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea.
