About this property
Top of the art penthouse on the beach - 4000 sq. ft of luxury
Le Papillon Penthouse enjoys one of the best locations on St. Martin, with many wonderful restaurants nearby and a beach that is close to private and ideal for long walks.
The building itself was finished in 2014 after a few years of planning. It was designed and built by a doctor who owned the property. The building is so well made that even with hurricane Irma we had minimal damage.
Simpson Bay Area is a great place. It is a nice combination of tourism and local culture. It used to be a fisherman's village and it still holds some of that charm. It is easy to walk to restaurants and shops so people do not need to rent a car to go to places. But when you are in the apartment or on the beach you are completely away from any outside world.
Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 4000 sq. feet penthouse is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below.

About the host
Hosted by Simona

For years I have worked in rental business on St. Maarten. I always enjoyed meeting people and I was hoping they will have a nice vacation here. But I was not very happy how most of the properties were maintained and what the owners provided for the guests. Luckily I met the amazing owner of this property and together we turned it to what we believe a great place should look like. If you decide to stay with us and if you have any thought on how we could improve what we provide please let us know because happy guests has always been our goal.
Why they chose this property
I live on this island for close to 20 years and Simpson Bay is simply my favorite part of the island. So I enjoy the location. The property itself is new, well built, well designed, full of happy and interesting people, and with an amazing garden. So it provides all that I believe a good property should provide. It is just a pleasure to be around.
