Dear Friends, 

With everything that is going on around the world, we find ourselves in a place where none of us would have imagined a couple of months ago. We pray for the health and safety of our fellow world citizens, friends, and family. As we are put to the challenge in our fight against COVID-19 we become a united force working together towards the same goal. In that spirit, we want to extend a message of hope to you with brighter days to come.

The island has responded to COVID-19 with strict measures. All non-essential movement is restricted and the borders are closed. All travel to and from the island is only for emergency and supply purposes. At this time we are happy to inform you that the hospitals of the island have done an excellent job handling the logistics of caring for the island population. Overall, people have been doing a good job following the implemented measures. As of today, there are 55 active cases on the island.

We cannot yet say when the island will reopen but we do know that the French government has extended the confinement until May 11th. Both the French and Dutch sides are working together to ensure they enforce similar policies. If you would like to keep up to speed with the developments in St.Martin/St. Maarten we recommend you monitor the following websites and social media pages. We will also be posting on our social media pages. (Instagram | Facebook | Twitter) Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any specific questions about the current situation on the island.

At this time, we are working diligently to update reservations that have been changed or canceled and to make sure that we are ready to welcome you once it is time to do so. We thank you for your patience and your consideration of postponement if you have a confirmed booking with us. The best way to support our local economy is to come back to your favorite friendly island when possible to do so. 

Sincerely,

Harrison Drouin-Reed

AVANTI – Luxury Villa Rental in Terres Basses, St. Martin

Villa Avanti is a brand new luxury vacation rental in Terres Basses, St. Martin.

A superbly appointed five-bedroom residence in Terres Basses, Avanti welcomes you from its impressive gated entrance along a palm-lined driveway to the main entrance doors fronted by stone fountains.

The doors open through to an immense indoor /outdoor living space with a sweeping 180-degree view over the ocean with Saba on the distant horizon and a lush verdant lawn in the foreground. Enhancing the beautiful view are the clean architectural lines of a poolside gazebo and an L- shaped saltwater pool running the length of the terrace. The pool features a built-in table and seating area and an “island” day bed and can be accessed by a sloping beach or by steps leading from the gazebo.

Beautiful light effects in the gazebo, from a signature leaf ceiling panel, along with plush seating and a wet bar provides the perfect spot to take in the beautiful Caribbean sunsets. Lining the pool are eight loungers and two daybeds and parasols offering further options for luxurious poolside lounging.

A contemporary African-themed decor pervades the beautiful interior and exterior spaces with furnishings by Manutti and Roche Bobois along with natural wood accents, touches of burnt orange and primitive art and textiles. Flanking the entrance the indoor areas include a stylish living and dining room and a TV viewing corner equipped with an 82” Smart TV.

To the left is the immaculate light wood kitchen equipped with Wolf and Sub Zero stainless steel appliances, a central island and a breakfast bar. Further dining for 8 and a Wolf gas grill are to be found on the adjoining terrace. Both the kitchen and living room have glass sliding doors that can be closed to provide a climate-controlled space. The exterior covered terrace also provides a very comfortable outside lounge area and dining “al fresco”.

Leading off the main terrace living space are the five-bedroom suites, a guest bathroom, and a cork-lined media room equipped with 82” smart TV and Bose surround sound Home Theatre system.

The five beautiful king-size bedrooms have luxurious en-suite bathrooms each with double vanities, large open rain showers, an exterior ”garden” shower, and a separate toilet. Each bedroom is equipped with a Smart TV and a Bose soundbar with Bluetooth connectivity. Four of the five bedrooms have walk-in closets.

The master suite also features a lounge area with a private terrace with a 3 person jacuzzi/hydro pool. The master suite and bedroom four are interconnected.

Avanti offers high-quality detail and comfort in a beautiful and very private setting just minutes from the natural beaches of French side Terres Basses and the nightlife of Maho just across the “border’ in Dutch St. Maarten.
