Altree Developments (Altree), a prominent Toronto-based, multi-generational, full-service development company, is poised to redefine luxury living in St. Maarten with their latest project, Vie L’Ven (life to life).
The luxury resort and residences, boasting 280 units, are scheduled for completion in 2028.
Seamless Fusion of French and Dutch Influences
Zev Mandelbaum, founder of Altree, expresses the vision behind Vie L’Ven, stating, “Vie L’Ven seamlessly coalesces the influences of both French and Dutch cultures which are truly represented in this incomparable development through exceptional living, dining and wellness experiences.”
Mandelbaum views Vie L’Ven as a tribute to St. Maarten, encouraging residents and guests to embrace life to the fullest amidst the island’s natural beauty and tranquillity, where European culture harmonizes with Caribbean flair.
Prime Location and Exclusive Offerings
Nestled in the pristine setting of Indigo Bay on the southwest Dutch side of the island, Vie L’Ven will comprise a collection of fully furnished residences alongside a luxury five-star hotel. Among the 280 units, 190 will be hotel rooms (including 60 suites) and 90 private residences.
Designed by the renowned architectural firm HKS Architects, with interiors crafted by Toronto’s esteemed Studio Munge, Vie L’Ven draws inspiration from both French and Dutch cultures.
The residences, marketed by St. Maarten’s Sotheby’s International Realty, will offer one-, one-and-a-den, and two-and-a-den-bedroom suites spanning from 600 to 6,000 square feet, with prices ranging from $800,000 to over $2 million.
These luxurious suites boast playful patterns and woven textures, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Custom furniture packages, including bedroom sets and living/dining room additions, will be available for homeowners seeking a personalised touch.
Vibrant Resort Experience
The resort promises to embody the island’s energy and diversity, providing guests with a world-class experience. Upon arrival, visitors will be greeted by striking sculptural artwork, setting the tone for an exceptional stay.
Throughout the resort, dynamic art installations against a backdrop of dark wood panelling with intricate carved geometrical patterns will captivate guests. Textures and patterns such as coral stone floors and natural oak infuse authenticity into the design.
Amenities include three swimming pools, 24/7 concierge services, a kid’s centre, event spaces, a fitness centre, and a world-class spa with outdoor treatment spaces. Wellness memberships and suites will offer tailored programming and elevated fixtures.
Culinary Delights and Cultural Richness
St. Maarten, renowned for its cultural diversity, has earned the moniker of the “European melting pot” of the Caribbean. Vie L’Ven aims to contribute to this cultural tapestry by offering three restaurants, including a signature dining experience by a Michelin-starred chef.
The island’s rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere provide residents and visitors with a plethora of experiences, from exhilarating nightlife to prestigious sailing.
Vie L’Ven, set to become one of two five-star resorts on the island upon completion, represents a new standard of unmatched luxury.
