Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Le Papillon on the beach

Le Papillon enjoys one of the best locations on St. Martin, with many wonderful restaurants nearby and a beach that is close to private and ideal for long walks.

Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 2150 sq. feet apartment is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below.

Guests are welcome with a drink. Selection of drinks can be found in the fridge and in our free mini bar.

A great selection of restaurants can be found within convenient walking distance. To name a few:
Skip Jack - local fisherman's restaurant; Bamboo - amazing sushi and more; Top Carrot - vegetarian and healthy meals; Avantika - very elegant place with Thai cuisine; Sale & Pepe - great Italian place; Toppers - American cuisine; Yacht Club - a great place to watch boats coming into lagoon and drink; Pizza Italy - another Italian cuisine; Palapa Grill - known for great steaks and more; Atlantico - an amazing bakery
Some restaurants can even be accessed without putting your shoes on. That includes Karakter, Mary's boon and El Zafiro. They can be enjoyed right on the beach.

The building itself was finished in 2014 after a few years of planning. It was designed and built by a doctor who owned the property. The building is so well made that even with hurricane Irma we had minimal damage. We had lots of decorative damages but luckily nothing major.

Simpson Bay Area is a good place to be. It is a nice combination of tourism and local culture. It used to be a fisherman's village and it still holds some of that charm. It is easy to walk to restaurants and shops so people do not need to rent a car to go to places. But at the same time when you are in the apartment or on the beach you are completely away from any outside world.
