Anyone who has been here will tell you: The spirit of the Caribbean shines brightly. Each island within this expansive archipelago is a unique tapestry of multicultural influences, historical richness, and breathtaking natural beauty. Among these, St. Maarten emerges as a radiant star, where a fusion of French, Dutch, and local influences bestows a certain je ne sais quoi — an indescribable charm — that infuses the island lifestyle with an enchanting aura, epitomizing the art of living well.
Reflecting this, the forthcoming Vie L’Ven Luxury Resort & Residences by Altree Developments is poised to redefine the luxury experience. Named “Vie L’Ven,” which translates from a mix of French and Dutch to “life to live,” the resort and residences embody a philosophy that celebrates a passionate and holistic lifestyle. Upon completion, the property will be a restorative retreat where exemplary services, unrivaled amenities, and a host of wellness activities bring the heart and soul of St. Maarten to residents and guests.
Positioned on a hillside overlooking a private cove, this everlasting escape will be ensconced in peaceful seclusion, surrounded by lush untamed landscapes and a powder-soft sand beach that kisses the azure waters of Indigo Bay. Located on the Dutch side of the island, Vie L’Ven enjoys abundant sunshine that enhances the rejuvenating atmosphere and the serenity of its private locale.
The President and CEO of Altree Developments, Zev Mandelbaum, envisions Vie L’Ven Luxury Resort & Residences as a singular destination epitomizing the art of living well. Under his guidance, the project has partnered with leading figures in architecture and design, ensuring a stellar impact. The complex will be crafted by the award-winning architectural firm HKS, with warm, elegant interiors designed by Toronto-based Studio Munge. This combination promises to make Vie L’Ven a pinnacle of unparalleled comfort, featuring sleek, modern aesthetics that are innovative and function-focused.
Vie L’Ven will offer a range of living options, with fully furnished residences varying from one to three bedrooms and spanning 50 square meters (540 square feet) to 150 square meters (1,600 square feet), designed to cater to a diverse clientele. Complementing these residences, the property will feature a five-star hotel, enhancing the allure of the resort and providing access to world-class amenities and services. This project, which includes 280 luxury residences accompanied by world-class amenities, reflects Mandelbaum’s commitment to delivering an exceptional living experience, combining sumptuous living spaces with breathtaking views and exceptional service, all set against the stunning backdrop of the majestic St. Maarten coastline.
With a background rich in transformative real estate development, Zev Mandelbaum has previously led significant projects integrating luxury, functionality, and community.
