Stunning Villa Movina with Gym, Two Pools, and Breathtaking Views of St. Barts
La Movina is a stunningly designed luxury villa located in the Oyster Pond Hills overlooking Dawn Beach with spectacular ocean views to Saint Barthelemy.
One of the loveliest villas on St. Maarten, La Movina recently underwent an extensive refresh with new art, furniture, décor, and more, all of which will ensure a stay of highest caliber. The property is fully furnished across two independent levels, each equipped with its own private pool, large spacious living and dining area, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, large terraces and gardens, central air conditioning, and much more.
La Movina boasts two pools: a beach entry infinity pool on the upper level, with panoramic views of St Barthelemy, and a lap pool on the lower level. Wraparound patios on both levels provide areas to eat, lounge, and enjoy St. Maarten’s famous sunshine. You and your guests will also enjoy the villa’s hot tub, gardens, two gourmet kitchens, and chic indoor and outdoor living and dining areas.
The villa also has a fully air-conditioned, freestanding gym, one of the few properties on island with this feature. In addition to a separate full bathroom, the gym comes fully equipped with a treadmill, elliptical, spinning bike, free weights, ballet barre, yoga mats, and more. Sliding glass doors across the gym open completely, allowing you to get in your morning workout with views of the ocean.
The team at Movina is a world class one. We are delighted to meet guests at any of the airport’s car rental locations to escort you to Movina and help with luggage and settling in. Housekeeping is provided several times throughout the week to ensure a pristine environment throughout the villa, while our pool staff and gardeners ensure the same across the grounds and gardens.
The main level of Movina is composed of 4 bedrooms, a beautiful large dining and living room and a fully equipped kitchen, 4 ensuite bathrooms, powder room, a large standalone gym & pool house with additional full bathroom, and a gorgeous beach entrance pool and spa with stunning gardens. The ground level is composed of 2 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining and living room, 2 bathrooms, powder room, and a lap pool.
Our family finds it difficult to leave Movina whenever we are lucky enough to be there, but for those looking to explore the beauty of St. Maarten, Movina is in a perfect location. The property straddles the French and Dutch borders, providing equally easy access to both beautiful sides of the island. Dawn Beach is just a 2-3 minute drive from Movina’s quiet, gated neighborhood, with other beaches — including our favorite, Orient Bay, with its lovely restaurants and relaxing beach clubs — just a quick 10 minute drive along the coast. The charming town of Oyster Pond, home to a number of our favorite restaurants (and the best épicerie on the island!), is just down the road. Other island hotspots, including the gastronomic hub of Grand Case or the delightful boutiques of Marigot, are just a 15 minute drive away.
Movina is a perfect place for beautiful family vacations and relaxing retreats with friends alike. The essence of this retreat is the feeling of unparalleled relaxation and tranquility whilst providing first class amenities.
We feel very lucky to be Movina’s caretakers and would be pleased to help arrange the perfect stay for you. Our team can help with any questions you may have or suggestions you may be looking for. Equally, in advance of your arrival, our team can help with arranging chef or other culinary services, providing restaurant and nightlife recommendations, or organizing in-home fitness classes, massage appointments, and more.
Other details of Movina:
• Movina is located inside a gated community, with round-the-clock security, near the top of a beautiful oceanside hill. For guests renting vehicles, we recommend an SUV or a vehicle with four-wheel drive to ensure the drive is as smooth as possible. • The property is approximately 6,000 square feet across two levels • The two independent levels of the property provide a wonderful degree of privacy and are also joined together by an outdoor garden staircase. Please note there is no indoor staircase between the two levels of the home. • Movina has six bedrooms, all with king beds — and we have the ability to convert two of these king bedrooms to have two twin beds instead, at your request • The villa contains an array of beautiful bathrooms (including powder rooms on both the upper and lower levels and a full bathroom in the gym) with a unique configuration — and two of the bathrooms also have beautiful outdoor showers privately tucked away in the gardens • Housekeeping is provided to Movina several times each week, and this frequency can be adjusted if desired with advance notice • The property has two pools — an upper level infinity pool and lower level lap pool — and a hot tub tucked away in the gardens • A washer and dryer are located in a laundry room on the upper level
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. We would be delighted to assist, and we hope to welcome you to Movina.

We were celebrating my 60th birthday with 6 of my friends and the host gave us a bottle of Passion Fruit rum that was great along with some other snacks, which was great after a long trip there. John and his team were always attentive and helped us with everything we needed.
I had been really looking forward to a Caribbean escape for months and this was just what the doctor ordered. Villa Movina was fantastic, well located, and extremely comfortable for our entire group. We spent a ton of time on the compound enjoying the nice kitchen, amazing pool that overlooks the ocean, eating at some of the spots close by (we liked BZH Creperie), and exploring the island. Could not recommend the experience more— we will certainly be back. There is no greater joy than French pastries, Caribbean beaches, and a comfortable home to relax in.
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Movina. The home is gorgeous with incredible views of St. Barths. The pictures don’t do it justice. The spaces inside are well appointed with no details missed and the whole home feels like a luxury resort. We stayed for a week with 10 total adults for a birthday celebration and could not have been more pleased with the home. We highly recommend and would come back in a heartbeat to stay again.
Our family group of 10 age 22-85 had a wonderful time staying at Villa Movina. My favorite part of our vacation was morning coffee on the patio overlooking the Ocean and St Bart's. The view is absolutely spectacular and the home is beautiful and well maintained. The photos cannot fully capture how nice and well laid out the house is. All the spaces are comfortable, useful, and attractive. The hosts were so kind and responsive to all our concerns. I cant imagine better hosts to have. I believe this hiuse wou
My husband and I were looking for a quick getaway from the U.S. We had a wonderful stay at Movina, and we appreciate how John was willing to shorten the minimum stay given the slower season on the island. We can’t wait to come back for longer when we’re able to take more time off. The house was clean and beautifully decorated, with a lot of thoughtful amenities. The onsite gym was a major bonus! Thank you John!
I had an absolutely incredible time staying in La Movina. Not only was the property and views breathtaking, but the small touches John and his staff put into the stay made it feel like a five star premium hotel - from the travel toiletries, bathrobes and luxurious bedding to the abundance of beach towels and anything we could have asked for. The obvious highlight was the two swimming pools onsite but my personal favorite feature was the gym full of equipment. The reliability of the high speed WiFi was also a huge plus for working remotely! I can’t wait to stay at La Movina again next year!!!
Our stay at Movina was nothing short of magical! I rented the villa for a long weekend getaway with our family friends and children and it exceeded all expectations.
Every detail was beautifully curated and full of island charm. The kids loved the two pools and the fantastic gym was an added bonus for the adults! The kitchen was incredibly well equipped and we enjoyed most meals on the terrace with an ocean view.
Checkin/checkout was highly efficient and the lovely host John gave us plenty of recommendations for exploring the island. I highly recommend Movina for your next getaway!
Came with 3 other couples to the beautiful Villa Movina. Located right on the border between the Dutch and French sides, this place was well located for exploring the whole island. The double pool situation was very fun, and there were enough good rooms that the whole group was happy. We cooked a few nights, and the kitchen was stocked. Also did our laundry before heading out. Won’t say how many times I used the gym… but some of us were very happy with the gym set up. John had great suggestions and was very friendly/communicative. Plan to come back as soon as I can!
The property is spectacular. Sitting up high on the hill/mountain-side with a perfect unobstructed view overlooking the Dawn Beach bay and the mountains of St. Bart centered on the horizon. The house was perfect for us - we were 4 adults and 7 kids and perfectly fit Villa Movina's 2 living spaces and 6 bedrooms rooms that could each be master bedrooms, each with its own bathroom (plus multiple additional powder rooms and an additional full bathroom in the gym), and some with outdoor showers, jet hot tubs, etc. Many beautiful places to sit for a cup of coffee or glass of wine and enjoy the views. A standalone gym that was used most days. And two pools surrounded by chase lounges. The decor of the house is so nice we took photographs before leaving to come home with ideas. The owner of the house, John, and his team are among the most responsive people I have ever met, offering myriad ideas of things to do, help with ideas for our complicated travel schedule among islands, and organizing layout changes to the house such as converting a couple king beds to dual twin beds for the kids. With the height and view comes a steep hike! Rental car highly recommended/required. The island has so much to offer you will want it to get around anyway. That said, we did walk all the way down the hill to the beach and hotel properties and back up on several occasions - definitely doable, but it's a legit workout.We would definitely return, and miss the house and the island already
