Luxury villa rentals in Indigo Bay
A contemporary residential community facing the Caribbean, combining the calm of a sheltered bay with easy access to Simpson Bay and Philipsburg.
Why stay here
The calm of a private community, with the sea on the horizon.
On the Dutch side of the island, Indigo Bay occupies the hills between Philipsburg and Simpson Bay. Its contemporary villas enjoy broad Caribbean views, with Saba visible on the horizon when skies are clear.
Below, Indigo Bay Beach forms a small sandy cove with generally calm water. Restaurants, shops and lively neighbourhoods remain within driving distance, allowing the villa to feel genuinely peaceful without being far from everyday conveniences.

What to know before you choose.
Who is it for?
Families and groups of friends looking for space, open views and a more residential atmosphere than a lively resort area.
Do you need a car?
Yes, we recommend one for easy access to the beach, restaurants, groceries and the rest of the island.
Our suggestion
Arrange an initial grocery delivery to the villa so you can enjoy the pool and the view from the moment you arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Planning a stay in Indigo Bay.
Is Indigo Bay Beach accessible?
Yes. The beach is open to the public and parking is available near the restaurant. From Villa Emeraude, allow about ten minutes by car.
How does Indigo Bay differ from Beacon Hill?
Indigo Bay feels quieter and more residential. Beacon Hill is better suited to guests who want to be closest to Maho, the airport and nightlife.
Is a car necessary?
We recommend one. The community’s hills and the distances to restaurants and shops make driving more comfortable day to day.
