FWIW, here's the story of the strange name, taken from the development website:

Our name, Vie L’Ven, captures the essence of our vision. One fine Saturday afternoon, a few members of the development team decided to have lunch at Kalatua on Mullet Bay Beach. As the sun was setting on the horizon, they met a French couple, and, over cocktails, discussed their attraction to St. Maarten. “It is full of life — Vie in French.” Soon, other guests gathered, and a family from the Netherlands appeared, saying, "We, too, find the island embracing life to its fullest. That’s why we come again and again. We call it Leven in Dutch." Vie L’Ven.

That’s how our story begins...


Don't shoot the messenger...
