About Villa Le Chateau Des Palmiers

Villa Le Chateau des Palmiers is a beachfront estate on Plum Bay in Terres Basses, two connected houses totalling ten bedrooms, with a tennis court, a putting green, a gym, and a fully staffed private-chef service. Rentable as six or ten bedrooms.

Villa Le Chateau des Palmiers is a beachfront estate on the sand at Plum Bay, in the gated Terres Basses community, and one of the largest houses in the collection. It is fully staffed, sleeps up to twenty, and rents as six or ten bedrooms, which makes it a fit for a big celebration or a family that wants a private resort for the week.

The estate is really two houses: a beachside one and a garden-side one. The beachside part holds six bedrooms, a media room, the main living and dining rooms, a ping-pong table, and kayaks for going straight off the beach. The garden side adds four more bedrooms, a chef's kitchen, a private tennis court, a one-hole putting green, and a gym.

The staff is what makes a place this size run: a private chef cooks three meals a day (groceries billed separately), and a concierge team handles activities and the day-to-day so the group does not have to. Rent it as six bedrooms for a smaller party or the full ten when everyone comes.

Plum Bay is the beach out front, one of the quieter stretches in Terres Basses, with the quiet, west-facing sunsets Plum Bay gets. Princess Juliana Airport is about fifteen minutes by car, and Grand Case sits north for a night out, where we send guests to Le Pressoir.

A full-time staff runs the estate; our team arranges the transfers and provisioning around them. Low-season weeks start at $45,000 for the full ten bedrooms. It is less a villa than a private estate: two houses, a tennis court, a putting green, and a beach, with a team to keep it all running.

Where Villa Le Chateau Des Palmiers is

Terres Basses, the "Lowlands", is the French side's most prestigious address: a private, low-density peninsula of grand villas between Simpson Bay Lagoon and the sea, with three of the island's most beautiful beaches and very little commercial development. More about Terres Basses
