La Movina is a stunningly designed luxury villa located in the Oyster Pond Hills overlooking Dawn Beach with spectacular ocean views to Saint Barthelemy.
One of the loveliest villas on St. Maarten, La Movina recently underwent an extensive refresh with new art, furniture, décor, and more, all of which will ensure a stay of highest caliber. The property is fully furnished across two independent levels, each equipped with its own private pool, large spacious living and dining area, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, large terraces and gardens, central air conditioning, and much more.
La Movina boasts two pools: a beach entry infinity pool on the upper level, with panoramic views of St Barthelemy, and a lap pool on the lower level. Wraparound patios on both levels provide areas to eat, lounge, and enjoy St. Maarten’s famous sunshine. You and your guests will also enjoy the villa’s hot tub, gardens, two gourmet kitchens, and chic indoor and outdoor living and dining areas.
The villa also has a fully air-conditioned, freestanding gym, one of the few properties on island with this feature. In addition to a separate full bathroom, the gym comes fully equipped with a treadmill, elliptical, spinning bike, free weights, ballet barre, yoga mats, and more. Sliding glass doors across the gym open completely, allowing you to get in your morning workout with views of the ocean.
The team at Movina is a world class one. We are delighted to meet guests at any of the airport’s car rental locations to escort you to Movina and help with luggage and settling in. Housekeeping is provided several times throughout the week to ensure a pristine environment throughout the villa, while our pool staff and gardeners ensure the same across the grounds and gardens.
The main level of Movina is composed of 4 bedrooms, a beautiful large dining and living room and a fully equipped kitchen, 4 ensuite bathrooms, powder room, a large standalone gym & pool house with additional full bathroom, and a gorgeous beach entrance pool and spa with stunning gardens. The ground level is composed of 2 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining and living room, 2 bathrooms, powder room, and a lap pool.
Our family finds it difficult to leave Movina whenever we are lucky enough to be there, but for those looking to explore the beauty of St. Maarten, Movina is in a perfect location. The property straddles the French and Dutch borders, providing equally easy access to both beautiful sides of the island. Dawn Beach is just a 2-3 minute drive from Movina’s quiet, gated neighborhood, with other beaches — including our favorite, Orient Bay, with its lovely restaurants and relaxing beach clubs — just a quick 10 minute drive along the coast. The charming town of Oyster Pond, home to a number of our favorite restaurants (and the best épicerie on the island!), is just down the road. Other island hotspots, including the gastronomic hub of Grand Case or the delightful boutiques of Marigot, are just a 15 minute drive away.
Movina is a perfect place for beautiful family vacations and relaxing retreats with friends alike. The essence of this retreat is the feeling of unparalleled relaxation and tranquility whilst providing first class amenities.
We feel very lucky to be Movina’s caretakers and would be pleased to help arrange the perfect stay for you. Our team can help with any questions you may have or suggestions you may be looking for. Equally, in advance of your arrival, our team can help with arranging chef or other culinary services, providing restaurant and nightlife recommendations, or organizing in-home fitness classes, massage appointments, and more.
