Vacation Rentals
La Vue Folle is now a 5-bedroom retreat
oct. 13, 2026
Quick Summary
Set in Terres Basses with sweeping views over Simpson Bay Lagoon, La Vue Folle draws on a Moroccan aesthetic rarely seen in the Caribbean; high ceilings, arched entryways, a carved mandala dining table, and a meandering floorplan. The name means "crazy sight." It earns it.
Now La Vue Folle has grown. A new second wing brings the villa to its full five-bedroom design, with a private gym beside the rectangular pool. The villa is ready to welcome families, friends and returning guests to experience it in full.
The view
From the moment you arrive, the view takes over. Turquoise water, the lagoon, distant islands and green tropical hills spread out in every direction. Photographs can only begin to capture it, and it's a view you won't tire of waking up to.
The villa was fully modernized in 2022. It keeps its distinctive architecture and adds contemporary comfort, with travertine floors, updated interiors and carefully furnished living spaces.
Outdoor Living
At La Vue Folle, island life is meant to be lived outdoors.
There are two pools, so you can choose your setting by the hour. The heated infinity pool sits in front of the villa with the lagoon behind it. The rectangular pool is the place for a quiet afternoon in the sun.
Beside the rectangular pool, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and a covered dining terrace makes it easy to entertain. You might grill fresh local seafood, host a relaxed family barbecue or serve sunset cocktails. Two gazebos, each with panoramic views, add more places to dine outdoors, talk or simply enjoy the breeze.
5 Bedrooms
The new wing adds two bedrooms, each designed to match the Moroccan character of the main villa. Both have en-suite bathrooms and private outdoor terraces. Every bedroom at La Vue Folle shares the villa's remarkable views.
Two of the guest suites also have their own kitchenette. That gives guests real independence while still sharing one private estate. Gather around the pool and share long meals together, then retreat to your own quiet corner.
La Vue Folle can be booked with 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms. The 3-bedroom option includes the main villa, with all outdoor spaces private to your group. The 4- and 5-bedroom options also open the new wing.
10 Adults + 4 Children
Villa La Vue Folle accommodates up to 10 guests, in 5-bedrooms as standard. It is possible to host up to 4 additional children. The children can be accommodated in the bunk room connected to Bedroom 2 and on the mezzanine in Bedroom 3. Please contact us for more information.
Additional baby (0–2 years): free of charge.
Additional child (2–16 years): +$100 per child, per night (plus 10% tax and service fee).
The pleasure of being looked after
Start the day with breakfast overlooking the water. Then spend the afternoon swimming, exploring or doing absolutely nothing.
For guests who would rather leave the cooking to someone else, a private chef can be added to your stay for an extra fee. Meals are prepared to suit your tastes, so you spend less time planning and more time enjoying yourself. The in-house team takes care of everything else, with a guest experience specialist, a caretaker on site, daily housekeeping, and complimentary airport transfers on arrival and departure.
For guests who like to keep up their routine, the new private gym is just steps from the pool.
Discover St. Martin, or simply stay
Terres Basses is one of the quietest corners of the French side: gated, with little traffic, and close to Baie Longue and Porto Cupecoy. The island's best beaches, French restaurants, boutiques and marinas are all within easy reach.
Yet one of the great pleasures of La Vue Folle is finding you may have very little desire to leave.
Five bedrooms. Two pools. Two panoramic gazebos. One extraordinary view.
La Vue Folle is managed exclusively by St. Martin Sotheby's International Realty. It is available for exclusive private rental in 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom configurations. For rates and availability, or contact us.
