Bellevue sits on a ridge on the French side of St Martin, between Marigot and Grand Case. Unlike the island’s beach-focused neighborhoods, Bellevue is defined by elevation and central positioning, with hillside villas opening toward Simpson Bay Lagoon, Marigot, the Caribbean, and the surrounding islands.
The location works especially well if you want to explore different parts of the island rather than stay centered on one beach. Marigot is close for markets, waterfront cafés, and everyday essentials, while Grand Case is within easy reach for dinner. Baie Rouge and Friar’s Bay are also a short drive away, giving you several beach options without tying the stay to a single stretch of coast.
Bellevue is part of our broader St Martin villa rentals on the French side collection. Within that wider group, Bellevue stands out for travelers who value central access, hillside views, and larger private properties over immediate beach frontage.
For even more options across both sides of the island, you can also explore our full collection of St Martin villa rentals.
When you book a Bellevue villa with Rental Escapes, your Villa Specialist can help you compare space, views, group size, and the level of service you need. Your Concierge can then arrange airport transfers, rental cars, private chefs, restaurant reservations, excursions, and other details around your stay.
Bellevue works best for travelers who want a central French-side base rather than a villa tied to one beach. Its elevated position between Marigot and Grand Case keeps dining, markets, groceries, and several beaches within easy reach while giving hillside properties broad views across Simpson Bay Lagoon and the surrounding coastline.
Marigot is close enough for quick visits to the waterfront, markets, and cafés, while Grand Case remains within an easy drive for dinner. Beaches such as Baie Rouge and Friar’s Bay are also nearby, giving you more flexibility to choose where to spend the day instead of building the trip around a single shoreline.
Compared with Terres Basses villas, Bellevue is less beach-focused and more centrally positioned. Compared with Orient Bay villas, it offers a quieter hillside setting with easier access to Marigot and the island’s interior.
Bellevue also sits below the hills leading toward Pic Paradis and Loterie Farm, making it a strong base if you want to mix beach days with hiking, zip-lining, and time away from the coast.
