About this villa rental
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.

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

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.

We have been going to Sint Maarten every year for the last 5 years and this was the best vacation rental experience we have ever had. First off, you rent directly from the owner, rather than a rental agency or a property manager, and the difference really shows. Leslie the owner really cares about both her guests and her home. The home was beautiful, has everything you need, the view is spectacular and it was immaculate! The owner left a welcome gift which was unusual and appreciated. We were not expecting housekeeping midweek but we got it. The big private pool was fantastic, the movie room had all the streamers like Netflix and Prime and DVD's of about 100 great movies or new tv series which we watched with the 'kids' (20 year olds) at night after we came in from dinner. There was good internet throughout the house. The owner was so responsive to our questions leading up to the trip.
The house is super well located, close to restaurants, the supermarket and activities. We really enjoyed sitting in the outdoor dining area for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening and were treated to see some beautiful cruise ships go by.
Luc the concierge was also great, he greeted us and the home and we helpful with recommendations on dining and water sports. Great experience. When we come back next year, this is where we will be staying. I'd give a sixth star if I could! Look no further.

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.

Wow! From the moment we pulled into Indigo Bay we felt like we stumbled on the best place on earth. Gorgeous setting, spectacular ocean views, awesome location. It is near enough to everything you would need, restaurants, supermarket, shopping and beaches, but this enclave is a serene, horseshoe shaped bay is full of upscale homes and natural beauty. Gosh- the ocean views will take your breath away.
Everything about Villa Amaya itself is top notch, from the views to the furniture, the space, the amenities. We appreciated the small touches like 3 coffee machines (drip, keurig and espresso) and the robes and toiletries. Our two teenage kids loved loved loved the movie room- every night after dinner we would find a netflix choice or select from the 100 DVD's of movies and tv shows that the owner provides. The home was modern and pretty, very clean, well equipped and exactly as pictured. With so much to offer we felt like this villa was a terrific value too.
The views to the turquoise ocean from the living areas, outdoor dining space, the bedroom area and the pool deck is really beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee and our evening glass of wine on the outdoor dining patio looking at the ocean and feeling the ocean breezes.
Leslie, the owner was helpful and super responsive to all my questions leading up to our stay. Her representative on the island, Luke was a great source for dining recommendations and activities. Thank you for an incredible stay.

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.

This villa is exactly like the pics! Beautiful views and great location. There is construction directly in front of this property…just know this before you go. We would definitely still stay here again.

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.

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 ...

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!

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.

Amazing home with ocean views and equally awesome owner/ property manager! The saying in SXM is “You only go to come back” and we most definitely will be returning! Leaving a piece of my heart at Villa Amaya!

My family had a wonderful time from the time we opened the door to the villa. Great communication prior to coming; upon arrival at airport; during our stay; and our departure.

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.

The house is in Indigo Bay, which is in a gated community outside Simpson Bay. It has a private pool and is less than 5min walk to the beach. At the beach is an outstanding restaurant for either lunch or dinner. We needed a pack and play for our son to sleep and Leslie made that happen. Also, Luc who oversees the property is great. He checked us in and was available for questions and recommendations. Place is great for families or 2-3 couples. highly recommend if you want incredible beach view and relaxation.

Incredible experience!
Our stay at Villa Amaya was truly incredible. From the moment we arrived, Luc was available and helped us settle in for our stay. He provided great recommendations for the island from restaurants to try to places to visit and explore. The villa was immaculate with gorgeous views, and in the best location on the island. Indigo bay was removed from the heavy tourist areas which also allowed a more enjoyable beach experience. Overall we could not have been happier with our choice to stay at Villa Amaya and will absolutely return there for our next trip to the island!

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!

This property is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a modern, clean house where we could enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean/beach while lounging in the comfort of our own patio and pool. The beds were extremely comfortable and the owner, Leslie, has all the basics covered. She was extremely responsive from the moment we booked and answered all of our questions.
We even had a concierge, Luc, that met us at the villa to give us the lay of the land. We connected before we arrived and he was always pleasant and helpful with answers and he provided us with many suggestions on things to do throughout the week.
The location is pretty good. About 15 minutes from the airport. 5-10 minutes from Simpson Bay. 25-30 minutes to Orient Bay and Grand Case. And of course, just one minute from the beach at Indigo Bay.
The villa was beautiful and the support from Leslie and Luc was an unexpected delightful surprise. Don’t hesitate. Book this place! It’s really as beautiful as the pictures look!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Amaya and cannot wait to return. It is a beautiful villa in a tranquil setting, more beautiful than the photos can show. From the start, Leslie, the owner, was very communicative, making sure we had the info we needed to prepare for our stay. On the ground in St. Maarten, Luc was the perfect concierge with tons of info to help make our stay great. The villa is located in a beautiful bay with incredible views. The house offers everything you would want - a gourmet kitchen, an infinity lap pool, comfortable beds to a media room - all at your disposal. The restaurant and beach club are just a short walk away. You might be tempted to spend your entire vacation at the Villa and Indigo Bay, but Simpson Bay for restaurants, and Philipsburg for shopping are just a short distance away. We also enjoyed venturing up to Grand-Case on the French side. Don't hesitate, book your trip to Villa Amaya today and you will not be disappointed!

Pictures are amazing but you need to stay here to believe it! We rented this gorgeous home effortlessly and upon arrival, the views took our breath away! Total perfection and not a detail missing! The beds were lovely- not your typical rental. We had our own private lap pool and movie theater! A perfect place for either a romantic holiday or with the fam or friends!!! A short walk to the most gorgeous private beachand. Watching the sunset from the uoscale restaurant right on the beach was a bonus! Will be back to this luxurious home! No highrise crowded hotel for us.

Perfect Vacation Home!
We didn't want to leave! The house was amazing and gorgeous with everything you would want. It was SO clean with a beautiful modern decor and show stopping views. The house is everything the description says it is, and more. The private lap pool overlooking the ocean is pretty spectacular and my teenagers spent a lot of time there. There is even a movie room with recent movies on DVD for late night family viewing, and multiple options for streaming on all tv's. The location is excellent and close to great restaurants, shopping and attractions, but the house itself is in a quiet, private, gated community with a beach. The kids really appreciated the strong wifi throughout all levels of the home, which was also great for me to stay on top of my work remotely when needed. OMG What a wonderful home!!
Leslie was a pleasure to work with leading up to the vacation and made sure we were met at the airport, escorted and properly checked in to the house and had all the resources we might need during our stay, including housekeeping visits. A 5 STAR EXPERIENCE! WOW!
