St Martin

A cosmopolitan blend of French flair and Dutch charm, St. Martin offers golden beaches, gourmet cuisine and understated elegance. With world-class resorts, scenic beauty and a refined yet relaxed rhythm, it’s the Caribbean at its most cultured and indulgent.

Split between French finesse and Dutch vitality, St. Martin is a rare Caribbean gem where two cultures harmoniously coexist. This dual-identity island blends sophisticated living with laidback island spirit, attracting discerning travellers in search of both elegance and authenticity. The French side seduces with a culinary scene unmatched in the region – think warm croissants, fine cheeses and oysters flown in daily from Paris, served in bistros that wouldn’t feel out of place in Provence.

The island’s natural beauty is equally alluring. Climb to the top of Pic Paradis for panoramic views or explore the colonial-era Fort Louis, perched above the harbour. Baie Longue, a sweeping crescent of soft white sand, is home to La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, an icon of barefoot luxury and easily the finest resort on the island.

With its boutique shopping, vineyard-worthy wine lists and easy access to Anguilla via a fast ferry service, St. Martin offers a richly textured escape perfect for romantic getaways, gourmet retreats or seamless twin-centre holidays.
