About the Estate

This 10-bedroom estate is sitting directly on the white sands of Plum Bay within the gated enclave of Terres Basses, the estate spans two distinct villas: an ocean-side residence with 6 suites and a garden-side villa with 4. Combined, the property accommodates up to 20 guests across 4.8 acres.

The auction lot applies to the 6-bedroom ocean-front villa — the crown of the estate, facing the Caribbean Sea with unobstructed views and direct beach access.

What makes Château des Palmiers truly rare is the caliber of service that comes with it. A private chef preparing three meals daily, an on-site estate manager, butlers, daily housekeeping, a heated oceanfront pool, a private tennis court, a fully equipped gym, and direct beach access; it is, in short, a luxury hotel experience within the walls of an entirely private home.

This is not a property many will ever have the chance to stay in. The silent auction makes it accessible to a much wider audience, and for a cause that matters deeply to this island.

About La Maison des Femmes

La Maison des Femmes is based in Marigot, and provides vital support, practical, legal, and emotional, to women on St. Martin who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse. On a small island where resources are limited and networks are tight, the work they do is both courageous and essential.

The Gala

The charity gala takes place Saturday, June 20, organized by La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, with all proceeds going directly to La Maison des Femmes. The evening will feature a silent auction with a curated selection of experiences and items, Château des Palmiers among them.
