About Villa Mapai
Villa Mapai is a six-bedroom oceanfront villa in Cul de Sac with a heated infinity pool over the water, a private dock, and kayaks to Pinel Island. Rentable as five or six bedrooms.
Villa Mapai is a six-bedroom oceanfront house in the Terrasse de Cul de Sac community, on the island's northeast coast, looking straight out at Pinel Island across the water. Recently renovated, it sleeps up to fourteen and rents as five or six bedrooms, built for a family or a group who want to be on the water rather than above it.
The heart of the house is a wide wooden deck with a heated infinity pool set at the edge, so the pool runs into the view of the Atlantic beyond. Loungers, shaded seating, and an outdoor dining setup make the deck the main living space, and a hot tub covers the evenings.
What Mapai has that most villas do not is a private dock, with direct access to the water for a swim, a boat, or the villa's kayaks. Pinel Island is a short paddle or boat ride across, an easy day trip that starts from your own dock.
The six bedrooms are en-suite and done in soft neutral tones, and the covered terrace runs long for shade and uninterrupted ocean views. It is the kind of house where the day is organized around the water.
The Cul de Sac pier and its five-minute ferry to Pinel are close, and we send guests to Yellow Beach, the easygoing beach club by the Pinel dock, for grilled seafood and a cocktail. Orient Bay is about ten minutes by car, and Princess Juliana Airport around thirty minutes. Our team can have the boat, a chef, and a full kitchen lined up before you get in. At $12,000 a week in low season for all six bedrooms, Mapai is built for a group that wants the day organized around the water: its own dock, its own kayaks, and Pinel a short paddle across.

Good to know
- Check-in from 4:00 PM, check-out by 10:00 AM. Earlier arrivals can sometimes be arranged.
- Rates are per week in US dollars, plus 10% tax and service. A deposit holds the dates; the balance is due before arrival.
- House rules, the security deposit and cancellation terms are set out in the rental agreement for this villa. Parties and events always need the owner's approval in advance.
- The French side uses euros and European 220V sockets, so bring an adapter for US plugs. US dollars and cards are widely accepted.
- Cul de Sac faces the Atlantic, and sargassum can collect in the bay in some months; Pinel Island is a short boat ride away.
- A rental car is the easiest way to get around; driving is on the right on both sides of the island.
