Overview

Fleur de cactus is a charming Caribbean estate surrounded by lush tropical gardens and sprawling green lawns. The views overlooking elegant La Samanna Hotel, Baie Longue Beach and the deep blue Caribbean dazzle morning to night. Sunsets are magical paintings in hot pinks and orange; a colorful backdrop for cocktail hour. Featuring 9 bedrooms, the villa is a perfect setting for large families, groups of friends or weddings. Although spacious, it has an intimate feel. You can be together or quite private.

Accommodation

The interior and exterior décor is an exotic mix of Indonesian and French style. Neutral shades of white and cream are accented with pops of color in every room. Soft grey tiles run throughout. The exterior terraces and covered verandahs on the upper and lower level provide multiple spaces for relaxing and dining. The new terrace furniture is modern blending beautifully with the sea and large blue pool set in the center of the upper terrace. For fun, a ping pong table sits under a verandah. Throughout the villa, arches and iron work add design interest.

The interior great room is very spacious and casually elegant, perfect for gathering. Sliding glass pocket doors open the room to the view and breezes. New contemporary furniture in the living room include the colours of the sea & sky and complement the rest of the interiors. The soaring ceilings are popped with blue trim, a design theme repeated throughout the villa. The pretty French Country kitchen in blue and white Provence tiles features a stunning French stove and beautiful views. A barbeque sits just off the kitchen.

Two bedrooms are in a private, self-contained cottage with its own pool. Seven bedrooms are in the main house. Each has private outdoor seating with either garden or ocean views. The overall mood in each room mixes Provence colors and fabrics in white with blue, yellow or red. Most rooms feature romantic four poster beds.

Each en-suite bathroom is tiled in the iconic Provence tiles found in many Terres Basses villas. Several have ocean or garden views from the walk-in showers. A very large suite on the lower level is a quite oasis with its own large terrace and seating both inside and outside. The villa also has a fitness room.

You are well located. The fabulous food scene in Baie Nettle is a few minutes? drive while you are 8 minutes to the French capital of Marigot, with its shops, restaurants, markets and galleries. In the opposite direction, you are only 10 minutes to the international airport of Princess Juliana (SXM). Grand Case and Philipsburg are also only 30-minutes away.

Activities

The best way to discover the way of life and customs of Saint Martin is to take a stroll through its towns and its villages.

Marigot, the cosmopolitan capital of the French side, is home to all the local government departments. Here, boutiques and trendy restaurants sit side-by-side with traditional stalls. Don't miss the colours, smells and buzz of the local market.
A former fishing village, Grand-Case has a unique Creole charm. Along its magnificent bay you will find a large number of restaurants in traditional huts and wattle houses.

In the remote village of Colombier, which is surrounded by nature on all sides, authenticity meets identity.
Having sprung up only recently in the last ten years, Orient Bay Village is considered one of the "musts" of the Caribbean.

On the land
Golf - Mullet Bay Golf Course
This 18-hole, par 70 course is a magnificent setting on the edge of Mullet Bay Beach on the Dutch part of the island.

Founded in 1990 by a small group of keen golfers looking to make their golfing experience more meaningful, the Sint Maarten Golf Association has over 130 players. Their mission: "to promote golf on Sint Maarten/Saint Martin and develop various golfing events for the enjoyment of participants and for the benefit of the community"

Bicycle
Some of the hiking trails listed above are accessible to competent mountain bikers or hybrid riders.
From the comfort of their saddle, cyclists cannot fail to be impressed by the island's variety, with mountain peaks, the limestone flats of the Terres Basses, coastal trails and tracks through the Nature Reserve packed into a relatively tiny area.

Horsing
Treks of various lengths to suit all levels provide an opportunity to explore the hills, discover unspoiled spots, gallop on deserted beaches and swim with your horse.

On the water
Wind surfing
Of all the water-based board sports, wind surfing, which harnesses the power of the wind to push you across the water, is surely one of the most exhilarating and most physically demanding. From first-timers to experienced funboarders, the eastern coast of the island, which is exposed to the trade winds, offers year-round fun in relatively sheltered surroundings.
Average winds are between force 3 and force 4.

Surfing
Of all the board sports, surfing demands a special effort from Mother Nature herself. This interaction with the immense power of the waves gives surfers a "philosophy" that is entirely unique to them. These spots are also suitable for body boarders and fearless wind surfers.

Jet-skiing
Jet skis can be rented on many of the island's beaches (Orient Bay, Baie Nettlé, Anse Marcel and others).
Do not enter the waters of the National Nature Reserve, where jet skiing is strictly prohibited.
On the French side, you are required by law to have a boat permit in order to rent a jet ski for personnal use.

Kite surfing
Kite surfing is a hybrid of kiting and windsurfing or surfing.
Orient Bay beaches, Nettle Bay, Cul de Sac Bay and Lucas Bay (Coralita) offer the best conditions for kite surfing and  lessons.

Stand-up paddle
It's easy, fun, and everyone can do it!
For beginners or advanced people, you'll (re)discover the water, with an original point of view. No need to be a great windsurfer or surfer, SUP is for everyone!
Standing on a paddleboard gives you a higher viewpoint, increasing visibility of what is going on around you, as well as a better view of the underwater life.

Hawaiian Canoe
Discover the joy of the Hawaiian canoe in the heart of the Nature Reserve in Saint-Martin!
The Hawaiian canoe is also called outrigger canoe and has the particularity to have a small craft (long and narrow) and a lateral support float called outrigger on its side. This ancestral boat made out of wood is conceived today in fiber glass to improve sensations. The canoe is originally from Polynesia.

Flyboard
Want to fly like Super Man and swim like a dolphin well that's possible. This new extreme water sport is an intense way of enjoying the sea from a whole different angle.

Under the water
Diving
The turquoise waters off Saint Martin are teeming with hidden treasures such as multicolored fish, rays, turtles, seashells and crustaceans, coral, seaweed and marine plants.
Scuba diving is the best way to experience the rich life of the ocean depths, especially when visibility is still possible at 100 meters underwater.

In the Air
Combining sport, leisure and adventure into one, paragliding and skydiving are a great way to take in the extent of the island's beauty.

Flying over Saint-Martin offers exceptional views of its hills and plains, its white sandy beaches framed by turquoise waters, its lagoons and limestone plateaus.

The most popular paragliding spot is in Cul-de-Sac, on the Grandes Cayes road. More experienced paragliders can launch from Pic Paradis.

Parasailing is a fun, water-based activity. Towed behind a boat, parasailers are launched into the air while attached to a parachute. It's an unforgettable experience that is better shared in pairs or threes.
