About this property

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. The lower level has a home cinema with seating for 6, a wetbar, and for those that simply can't leave work behind, a functioning office area with high speed internet. Villa Amaya offers wifi and internet connectivity throughout the villa, Apple TV, Roku, are available and Netflix access is on every TV. The villa has a private 32' infinity edge lap pool.

This pristine villa is well-equipped with all the modern amenities.

This is a home lovingly cared for and used by the owners. It is also offered for a limited number of vacation rentals.

This is the place for you! Leslie & Debra are fantastic hosts with a really nice property centrally located to allow for a quick run down to Simpson bay or over to catch the ferry to st Barts. The views are endless and the 3 min walk down to the local Indigo beach bar is the icing on the cake. You will not be disappointed.

WOW! What a great place! First, the condo itself was well laid out, had every thing we needed and was very clean. We especially loved our morning coffee watching the cruise ships and our night time adult beverage in the cinema. Next the location in a private area great for walking and just a few steps from a fantastic beach. Lastly, Chris and Leslie were great hosts!

Hi Heather, thanks so much for the 5 stars. You have a lovely family and we enjoyed having you. The week you were there, there was some soil testing and drilling going on down at the beach level in front, about 300 yards away from the villa. I'm told it completes this Friday. If we are able to welcome you back to Villa Amaya,- and I do hope we will- that work will be long done Thank you for staying with us. I do hope we will see you again. best, Leslie

My wife and I had a wonderful 7-night stay in Villa Amaya to celebrate her birthday. It was our 2nd trip to Sint Maarten, an island we have grown quite fond of. We arrived to find a really nice welcome package that included some food and other wonderful gifts (I won't spoil the details.) We were given a tour of the house and all its features. The house and pool were very clean and a housekeeper came in the middle of the week to tidy up. The pictures in the listing are legit. The view is amazing. The owner Leslie was phenomenal to work with and replies very quickly to any messages. She cares a great deal about her guests and wants to ensure they enjoy their visit. The neighborhood where the villa is located is very safe and we went for long walks each night to exercise and enjoy the views. As mentioned in the listing, there is currently construction going on not too far from the villa down near the water. However, after visiting over a half-dozen Caribbean islands, I can tell you that construction/renovation is a constant on all of them as they grow and modernize. The noise we experienced was not extreme and had a minimal impact on our trip. We would definitely return to this villa again sometime in the future. Thanks again Leslie!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Ken, thank you for the 5 star review. We loved having you and your family. Weak internet is not a complaint we normally get as we have high speed internet service with hi-end range extenders positioned on each floor of the house. I suspect what happened is a island-wide power outage (common on Sint Maarten) even if momentary can reset the router's IP address to a native SXM IP and temporarily block the US streaming services like Netflix. When this happens, we have fix in place that takes 2 clicks and restores everything immediately, I wish I had known at the time, I could have helped. In any event you were lovely guests and I do hope you'll come back. Thank you for the other kind words! -best, Leslie

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

This Villa and host far exceeded our expectations and will be where my family and I stay every time we visit SXM. It was the most incredible,immaculate Villa with everything you need and more. It has breathtaking views and a stunning beach with perfect snorkeling and tranquility. It is in a private community in Indigo Bay in the most convenient location close to great restaurants, entertainment, and the airport. The villa was very clean and well maintained. It is beautiful and modern with an open concept. The pool was sparkling clean and the views from the pool and pool deck were amazing. We were well prepared before we arrived as Leslie is an amazing host and we were even greeted with a welcome gift when we arrived. Having the Conceirge and cleaning during our stay was just another added bonus. Our stay was flawless!! I would highly recommend this Villa to anyone. If I could give Villa Amaya and Leslie 10 stars I would. Best place we have ever stayed!!!

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.

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.
