Villa Rainbow — Hillside Villa on the Road to Pic Paradis
A villa on Rue du Pic Paradis near Loterie Farm and the island's highest peak.
Why Go
Villa Rainbow on Lot 6, Rue du Pic Paradis, offers something that very few Caribbean accommodations can — proximity to a mountain peak and tropical forest rather than a beach. Pic Paradis is the highest point on St. Martin at 424 meters, and the road that leads toward it passes through some of the island's most lush, elevated terrain. Loterie Farm, the premier eco-adventure park with zip lines, hiking trails, and a spring-fed pool, is nearby. This is the St. Martin for travelers who want green over blue, altitude over altitude, and adventure over sunbathing.
The Experience
The Pic Paradis area is St. Martin's natural heartland. The hillside around Villa Rainbow is cooler than the coast, greener than the beach areas, and alive with tropical birdlife and vegetation that thrives at elevation. The Tennis Club of Saint Martin nearby adds sporting options, while The Creators design studio represents the creative community that gravitates toward the island's interior. Staying here means your mornings start with mountain air and birdsong, your days can include zip-lining at Loterie Farm or hiking toward the summit of Pic Paradis, and your evenings offer the tranquility that only elevation and distance from the tourist strip provide. The drive to any beach on the island takes 15-25 minutes, meaning you sacrifice nothing by staying at altitude.
What to Try
Visit Loterie Farm for zip-lining, hiking, and the spring-fed infinity pool. Hike toward the summit of Pic Paradis for the highest viewpoint on the island. Play tennis at the Tennis Club of Saint Martin. Visit The Creators design studio for local artisan work. Drive to the coast for beach days. Enjoy the cooler mountain temperatures and tropical garden setting.
Insider Tip
The road to Pic Paradis continues past Loterie Farm to a trailhead that leads to the summit. The hike is moderate in difficulty and rewards you with 360-degree views of the entire island, both the Dutch and French sides, and neighboring islands including Anguilla, St. Barths, and Saba. Go early morning for the clearest views and coolest temperatures.
