Does the idea of your own private beach on a tropical lagoon sound appealing? If so, the Villa La Salamandre, in the exclusive Terres Basses community of St. Martin, is the place for you. Looking out over Simpson Lagoon (but just a short distance from the oceanfront of Baie Rouge Beach), it is an estate-like setting meant for the most discerning travelers.

As one of the most sought after properties, the villa has an abundance of amenities that make it hard to resist. It starts with that private beach and boat dock facing into the lagoon. You make your way along a garden path to the villa, where you immediately encounter the splendid pool area and covered terraces.

A gazebo provides shade during the heat of the day, but you can also retreat to the many niches that dot the terrace area. An al fresco dining area with barbecue along with a variety of lounging spots will make this part of the villa a major attraction. There is also an outdoor shower
