Beaulieu Villa — Architect-Designed Clifftop Above Baie Rouge
Mid-century modernist villa by Robertson 'Happy' Ward with heated pool and panoramic views to Anguilla.
Why Go
Architecture matters in Terres Basses, and Beaulieu Villa at Lot 14 brings pedigree. Designed by Robertson 'Happy' Ward, a mid-century modernist architect whose Caribbean work blends clean lines with tropical living, this three-bedroom clifftop villa perches above Baie Rouge Beach with panoramic views stretching to Anguilla and the distant mountains of St. Martin's interior.
The Experience
The single-level design is deliberate — no stairs, no split levels, just a flowing floor plan where every room opens toward the Caribbean view. Three oversized en-suite bedrooms (two kings, one convertible king-twins) accommodate up to six guests, with the age-12+ recommendation reflecting the villa's architectural nature rather than safety concerns. The heated swimming pool commands the cliff edge. Expansive terraces with high-end furnishings create outdoor living rooms where the Caribbean becomes your wall art. The design emphasizes indoor-outdoor flow through floor-to-ceiling glass that retracts to merge interior spaces with the tropical environment. Baie Rouge Beach is accessible below — the red-gold sand, the beach bar, the protected swimming cove. My Private Chef Laura operates throughout Terres Basses for dinners that match the architectural setting. Plum Bay's wild western coastline is accessible for more dramatic exploration.
What to Try
Study the architectural details — Happy Ward's mid-century approach to Caribbean living is a design lesson in every room. Watch sunrise and sunset from the terraces for the 360-degree panoramic experience. Swim in the heated pool as the sun drops behind Anguilla.
Insider Tip
Beaulieu Villa's clifftop position above Baie Rouge creates an optical illusion from the heated pool: the pool edge appears to merge with Baie Rouge's turquoise water far below. This is not an infinity pool design trick — it's a geographic coincidence that the architect exploited brilliantly. The visual effect is most dramatic in the afternoon when the sun lights the beach from behind.
