Indigo Bay, on the Dutch side.
A protected bay, minutes from everywhere.
A protected bay on St. Maarten's southwestern coast, with views toward Saba and St. Barths. St. Barths itself is about a seven minute flight or a short boat ride. The island runs on the US dollar, under Dutch legal tradition, with an international airport minutes away. Nature is present everywhere, in the sandy beaches, the turquoise water, and the lush hillsides.
