Amalia

Villa Amalia, St Martin. 

Villa Amalia is a six-bedroom masterpiece of luxury and island design. Part of a Guana Bay area of St. Martin, it is nestled into one of the more coveted neighborhoods and resides at the end of a peninsula that gazes out at stunning sea views. It relies heavily on a modern design that puts a premium on capturing the sunlight and sea breezes, and using a lot of white and sand hues to really maximize the airy feel of each interior or exterior space. Just a short distance from the beach, which can be easily reached on foot, it could be a one-stop destination. This is because it features a full array of household staff, including a butler, chef, house and grounds keeping teams, and a pool professional.

Clearly designed for luxury travelers, it offers a long list of stunning amenities throughout. A focal point is the expansive pool terrace that backs up to a series of lovely, furnished verandahs.
