Villa Amaya - Modern, Pristine Villa, Stunning Ocean Views, Private Pool, Beach

Villa Amaya is a modern, pristine 3 bedroom, 3 bath villa with breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Dutch, St. Maarten. Located just uphill and within a 3 min walk to one of the prettiest, unspoiled beaches in St. Martin, Indigo Bay. Villa Amaya's ideal location is a quick drive to restaurants and nightlife, shopping, supermarkets and attractions on SXM. The villa's stunning ocean views, a sophisticated contemporary decor, high end finishes, and array of modern conveniences creates the perfect setting for romantic moments or joyful family memories.

The villa is built on 3 levels. The main living and bedroom areas comprise the first 2 levels.

Villa Amaya: A Honeymooners' Dream

Villa Amaya exceeded our expectations. The location, views, access to beaches, and quality of the home created the ideal vacation for our honeymoon. The hosts were attentive to our needs and expectations without being intrusive. We will definitely stay here again.

Relaxing

First thing when you walk thru the front door is the amazing view straight out the back of the property of the and Caribbean Blue ocean. First trip to St Martin and so worth it. Some of the best food in the Caribbean. The ocean is just a few steps and the 80 degree water was just great. Beach bar/restaurant less than 5 minute walk. House was immaculate very comfortable. Leslie was great to work with and concierge Chris was attentive. We like to visit different island but would consider a repeat vacation. Thank you for a great week

10/10 experience and one of our favorite vacations!

First, the house is spotless, modern and spacious with stunning views of the ocean. It feels like a new home, its beautifully decorated and had alot of extras like a cinema room, a full size private pool, high end toiletries, coffee and espresso makers, and housekeeping mid-stay. The host, Leslie was so responsive and helpful leading up to our trip and we asked her SO many questions. She went out of her way to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We took alot of her suggestions for dining and things to do and they were spot-on. There was a lovely welcome basket when we arrived. In my opinion the location of this house on the island is really ideal. Its a close drive to restaurants, shops and activities but located in a high-end, residential gated oceanside community. The beach is within view and a short walk from the house and there is a lovely waterside restaurant on the beach. The concierge who met us at the house, Chris was super friendly and helpful as well. We loved watching the cruise ships pass by in the early evening while sipping wine at the outdoor dining patio. Lovely house, Lovely host, Lovely experience.

Wonderful setting and great host!

We loved Villa Amaya...we booked it because of the beautiful location, and it was a bonus that the owner played a big part in overseeing our stay. We had a concierge on site that was very helpful,too! We were given great suggestions on where to eat and things to do. The villa is very clean and well-kept, and we loved the beautiful view and the private pool. The beach down below has a great restaurant and umbrella/chair rental with on-the-beach waitservice. Super convenient! You can walk to the beach or take a short drive down the hill and park. The swimming was great and the water was calm. We also liked that we were in a gated neighborhood. Very quiet and peaceful! It was the perfect week of relaxation! We want to visit again soon!

Very Relaxing and Quiet

We just returned from a great two weeks on St. maarten. First week was a Simpson Bay and second was at this place. It is very beautiful, well appointed and the owner takes care of the place. Luc was on-site and was helpful with any issues we had. The kids loved movie night downstairs in the tv room. We loved the little restaurant down on the water.

Perfect getaway

Villa Amaya was exactly what we needed for 3 couples escaping to St Maarten. The house was wonderful and clean, and the location could not have been better, just a 5 min walk to the beach. The concierge, Luc, was wonderful and quickly responded to any questions we had. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Paradise found

We loved our one week stay at Villa Amaya. Indigo Bay is a small, pristine oasis. The unit is so clean, brand new and even lovelier than the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked. We were a ten minute drive from lots of restaurants and attractions. We loved snorkeling in the bay and eating at the little beach restaurant. We’ll definitely be back.

Indigo Beach was beautiful and just a stroll away. Leslie, Medhi and Lucian were great to work with and took care of our questions and needs. Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

Another amazing stay at Villa Amaya!

This is my family’s second year of staying at Villa Amaya, and it was just as fantastic as our first visit in 2021. The property is gorgeous, clean and comfortable. The pool is fantastic and very inviting. We wouldn’t change a thing, and we hope to return again next year. Luc is a fantastic local contact and we felt very well taken care of, and Leslie is a super responsive owner who is genuinely interested in ensuring her guests have a great stay.

Great Family Retreat!

We had an amazing time at Villa Playa. It was a beautiful place with a fantastic view. Our host Leslie was very responsive and our on site concierge Luc was great about welcoming us and available for any questions about food or recreational activities. He was really top notch. Unfortunately, the WiFi in the villa is really poor but on the bright side, it forced our teenage kids to play games and talk with their parents. We would definitely go back again.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Amazing views! We were right on the water and surrounded by butterflies everyday. It was paradise. Luc was amazing and was always available for any questions or travel ideas. Our daughter, 7, had a great time swimming in the pool and visiting the bird sanctuary. Definitely rent a car when you come- driving on the Dutch side was really straight forward. Download with google maps for getting around on the French side. We will definitely be back!

Perfection in Paradise!

We had such a great stay at the stunning Villa Amaya. The house was meticulous, spacious and comfortable and the development was spectacular! Everyone we met at Indigo Bay was so welcoming and helpful from the cleaning staff to the driver to the concierge. In particular, Luc from the sales office was amazing. He knows the island so well and suggested what he thought we and our three teenagers would enjoy most for each day of our stay. Thanks to his advice, we had a phenomenal vacation! We loved every minute of it.

A little bit of heaven

What a wonderful place! From the moment we started to book Villa Amaya, to the lead up to our stay, our time in the Villa everything was first rate. We travelled with our adult children and their partners and all 6 of us found the Cilla to be exceptional. It is well appointed with everything one could possibly need, From the cleanliness to the kitchen amenities, to the added touch of robes in every bathroom it was a week of paradise and luxury. The view out over the water afforded a calm and seeing the boats and cruise ships pass was great. A short walk to the beach where the sea was easily entered and the beach kept clean, with the bonus of a lovely restaurant right there. Luc, the concierge was always available and very friendly. Like everywhere on the Island, a car is needed. With cleaning twice over our 8 night stay it made this such a wonderfully relaxed vacation. We would highly recommend Villa Amaya for a luxurious, relaxing and wonderful stay, Until next time ...

Glorious vacation at Villa Amaya!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here! The home is beautiful, spotless and just like the photos and we quickly discovered it is perfectly located. Everything is within a 5-20 min drive with so much within a 10 min radius. Indigo bay itself is a quiet, high end gated community with 24 hour security on site. Although the listing mentions that there is construction going on in the broader area, we were never disturbed by any and had none that we noticed within earshot or eyeshot. The views of the ocean and surrounds from the Villa are gorgeous. The owner Leslie was very attentive and communicative leading up to our check in. She answered all questions promptly and gave us some terrific recommendations for dining and shopping. Luc, the on-site manager was great and helpful as well. The housekeeping visits during our stay was a bonus. Loved the large lap pool at the home and we used the movie room a few nights as well. Everything was just as advertised if not better. Highly recommend Villa Amaya. We hated to leave.

Amazing Villa

We were blown away with the gorgeous views from the spacious living area. Incredible breezes from the hilltops and gorgeous water in Indigo Bay. We made a quick trip into town for foods for breakfast and lunches. Our fist night we had dinner at the restaurant on the beach. We nearly had the place all to ourselves. Fabulous service, food and presentation. The sound of the ocean was so relaxing and the music was perfect. We had the best first night of vacation. Each day we found everything within minutes of the villa. The furnishings were so clean and modern, the beds were amazingly comfortable. We really appreciated the mid-week cleaning service also. We got great recommendations from Luc to try some area restaurants. Our 3rd day we had a fantastic snorkeling trip with Billy Bones Excursions. We ventured to 4 different locations by motorboat and had a fantastic lunch at Lolo's in Grand Case. On our last night we booked a sunset cruise from Simpson Bay and were able to enjoy the simple sound of sailing and the waves. We had a phenomenal time at the villa and hope to come back to this wonderful private piece of paradise soon!

I'm Leslie Gold, the owner of this property. I'll be glad to give you any information you might want to know about the property, the location or St. Maarten in general.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I built this property to enjoy ourselves for the handful of times during the year we are able to get away. It's beautiful. In between, we offer it for a few vacation rentals for those folks that would appreciate the breathtaking views, the sophisticated decor, amenities and fantastic location. We work hard to provide guests with a consistently excellent experience.

What makes this property unique

Brand new modern villa with high end finishes and sophisticated decor. Amazing setting, with breathtaking views, private pool, private cinema room and superb location. Close to everything. Villa Amaya's location strikes the perfect balance between offering a private, gorgeous setting for the home itself, but offering proximity to restaurants, shops, supermarkets, attractions and entertainment.
