Grandchamp Real Estate & Conciergerie
A discreet, dual-island villa concierge for travelers who want the keys handed over and everything else handled.
Why Go
Grandchamp isn't a hotel — it's the reason your friend with the impossibly good St Barth villa always seems to have a chilled rosé waiting, a chef on call, and a Zodiac gassed up at the dock. Working across Saint-Barthélemy and neighboring Saint-Martin, this boutique agency curates a small portfolio of exceptional homes (traditional cases Saint-Barthinoises, contemporary hillside villas with turquoise views, refined pieds-à-terre) and layers on a proper high-end concierge so your stay feels less like a rental and more like arriving at a very stylish friend's place.
The Experience
You reach out before the trip and someone — usually Marius or a member of his tight team — actually reads what you write and comes back with three or four properties that match, not a spreadsheet. Once you land, transfers, pre-stocking the fridge with Match essentials and a case of Whispering Angel, private chefs, babysitters, boat charters, in-villa massage, table reservations at Bonito or L'Isola: it all flows through one WhatsApp thread. The properties themselves lean quiet-luxury rather than flashy, and because the agency also sells and manages the homes, standards on housekeeping and maintenance tend to be a notch above the big rental-platform pack.
What to Try
Ask for one of their sea-view villas on the Pointe Milou or Lurin side for sunset, then let the concierge line up a private catamaran day to Colombier, a chef dinner at the villa featuring local wahoo and langouste, and a morning yoga session brought to your terrace. If you're bouncing between islands, have them coordinate a Saint-Martin villa night around Grand Case's Tuesday Harmony Nights before ferrying over to St Barth.
Insider Tip
Book direct and book early — the best Grandchamp homes turn over fast for Christmas/NYE and the March high season, and villas quietly reserved through the agency (rather than aggregators) often come with better concierge inclusions and, occasionally, off-market picks that never hit the public sites. Mention any dietary quirks, kid ages, and boat/dive plans in your first message so the fridge, staff, and calendar are pre-set before you land.
The Practical Stuff
Bureau on Saint-Barthélemy at Marigot 97133 with a headquarters at Oyster Pond, 97150, Saint-Martin — the team covers both islands plus Sint Maarten and Guadeloupe. Reach them by phone/WhatsApp at +590 690 37 98 38 or via grandchamp-realestate.com; email grandchampmarius44@gmail.com. Rentals are seasonal (typically 7-night minimums in high season) and priced in euros; expect a security deposit, cleaning fee, and optional add-on concierge packages. Most villas include a car in the driveway — useful, because St Barth's roads are narrow and taxis are scarce after 10pm.
Pair It With

- Abyss Restaurant Guide — An easy first-night dinner reservation your Grandchamp contact can secure while you settle in; pairs well with a chef-at-home evening later in the stay.
- Absolute Hot Yoga (Gustavia) — Ask the team to slot morning classes — or a private teacher brought to the villa terrace — into your schedule for a proper reset between boat days.
- 4 Sea Zone St Barth Guide — Coordinate transfers, day-boat charters to Colombier or Île Fourchue, and inter-island crossings to the St Martin villas Grandchamp also manages.
