Luxury villa rentals near Plum Bay
A natural, undeveloped beach within Terres Basses, chosen for quiet walks, unhurried days and Caribbean sunsets.
Why stay in this area
A discreet beach at the pace of Terres Basses.
Plum Bay, known in French as Baie aux Prunes, lies on Saint Martin’s west coast within Terres Basses. It is one of the peninsula’s quietest beaches, with a natural shoreline and few visitors outside the busiest periods.
There are no permanent services directly on the sand, so bring water, sun protection and everything you need for the day. The sea can be calm, but swell can also produce waves, and the conditions on the day should always be respected.
Life around Plum Bay
The simplicity of an almost wild Caribbean beach.
The quiet
A beach without commercial activity, made for reading, walking and enjoying the sea without a schedule.
Sunset
The west coast brings beautiful late-afternoon light and Caribbean-facing walks.
Conditions
Swimming is enjoyable when the sea is calm; on days with swell, waves can be more noticeable.
