Canada-based builder Altree Developments is expanding into the Caribbean with plans for a luxury condo hotel resort in Sint Maarten.

Vie L’Ven will bring a five-star hotel and about 253 fully furnished resort residences to the shores of Cay Bay. Suites range between one, two, and three-bedroom homes, from 600 square feet to 6,000 square feet. Each suite is designed by Munge Studio with the option to add a private plunge pool.

“In French, ‘Vie’ means ‘full of life,’ while in Dutch, ‘leven’ means ‘to live’ – this duality inspired the branding of our new development, Vie L’Ven. We aimed to infuse this energetic spirit into every aspect of the project, from the stunning architecture to the unmatched amenities,” says Zev Mandelbaum, founder and CEO of Altree Developments. “Vie L’Ven represents the start of our mission to create an unforgettable experience for our guests, and we can’t wait to share our vision with the world.”

HKS Architects will design both the built structure and landscape design. Studio Munge will oversee public spaces and interior finishes. The design team is supported by a team of local architects and engineers to tailor the resort to the area’s Dutch and French style.

“Every suite and amenity throughout the resort is infused with this signature style, from the elegantly appointed interiors to the stunning outdoor spaces,” says Alessandro Munge, founder and design director of Studio Munge. “The result is a harmonious and sophisticated retreat that celebrates the island’s history and culture, offering guests a modern and luxurious experience.”

Amenities include high-end restaurants, numerous swimming pools, and spa and fitness facilities, among others.
