Villa Osun – Luxury Villa in Terres Basses, Sint Maarten

From the road, Villa Osun is mostly hidden: a wide colonial house with a distinctive green metal roof tucked into the vegetation of Terres Basses. The views that open up once you're inside are something else entirely: the infinity pool runs along the upper terrace and the whole of Simpson Bay Lagoon stretches out below, with the hills and cays of Sint Maarten on the far side. At dusk, the lights of Marigot and the Dutch coast reflect across the water.

The main living space is essentially a glass room: floor-to-ceiling bifold doors run the full length of the dining and lounge area, dissolving the boundary between inside and out. A long teak dining table seats ten comfortably, and the kitchen behind it is equipped for serious cooking. The four bedrooms are calm and uncluttered by contrast: white walls, natural timber furniture, clean lines that let the views carry the room.

Stone-tiled bathrooms with rain showers open onto private garden balconies. The grounds are spacious and well-shaded, with mature trees providing cover throughout the day and the pool terrace positioned to make the most of the panorama.

Terres Basses is ten minutes from Marigot and fifteen from Philipsburg, with Baie Longue and Baie Rouge beach access under ten minutes from the front gate.
