Villa Rock Sea

Terres Basses, St. Martin

The hip beach house for Rock aficionados located right on the meeting point of the two fabulous Terres Basses beaches of Baie Longue and Plum Bay on French St. Martin’s south west coast, Rocksea offers a contemporary upbeat decor in a chilled and naturally beautiful beachfront setting.

This unique property constructed in three independent modules has walkways raised above the sand that traverse through a garden of coconut palms, sea grape trees and large beach boulders connecting the communal living spaces with the three bedrooms and the outdoor pool and deck area. The cool minimalist decor features contemporary furnishings and detailing and artwork giving homage to the great rock legends.

Situated to the rear of the house, an iridescent pool tiled in mosaic shimmers in the sun like the scales on a fish in light red, blue, and silver and is surrounded by a raised deck with poolside loungers, large parasols and an outdoor shower. A walkway from the pool leads to the central kitchen area and a wonderful rooftop viewing terrace furnished with parasols and giant fatboy daybeds that overlooks the entire length of Baie Longue beach and the sea, all the way to the Hotel La Samanna at the far end and the coastline of Dutch St. Maarten beyond. Below, the kitchen is completely open and faces the sea with Velvet Underground wall art and a modern mix of natural wood cabinets, sleek black countertops and polished concrete. To one side is an outdoor covered dining area with a gas grill and a guest bath on the other side with an outdoor rain-head shower.

Along a walkway to the right of the kitchen is the master bedroom with its own deck area facing the sea and a private beach area with a hammock just in front. The “Bowie” bedroom is spacious with an unhindered view of the sea from the large glass sliding doors. It has a walk-in closet and features a sleek and very masculine “obsidian” bathroom with a toilet and urinal and a large open shower. RockSea also has its own signature black towels with the iconic Rolling Stones tongue and lips emblem.

The villa’s two other bedrooms are housed in the third building along with a living room furnished with chic, modern white cane couches, a gigantic ceiling fan and Rolling Stones wall art. The bedrooms, situated on either side of the living room and fronted by coconut palms, face the sea and each has its own luxurious private bathroom. A one-of-a-kind beach house, RockSea offers a unique destination for a Caribbean vacation in a paradisiacal beachfront setting.
