A long stretch of pretty, white-sand beach borders this classic resort, where service is warm and professional. ... Seven suites are smartly designed with modern upgrades and private plunge pools on the roof; five three- and four-bedroom villas with drop-dead views, impeccable decor, and a full private staff please even the pickiest moguls.
The island's only five-star hotel enjoys 55 acres of beachfront sprawl, a scattering of whitewashed villas tracing the sublimely sugary sand of Baie Longue (Long Bay). Located close to the dividing line between French St. Martin and Dutch St. Maarten, the Belmond (formerly known as Orient-Express) brings an international-style graciousness to the island.
La Samanna is perfectly placed: equidistant to the nightlife on the Dutch side of St. Martin and the shopping and restaurants on the French side. Best of all, it's perched above Baie Longue, the island's most beautiful beach (made even more appealing by the recent addition of ipewood cabanas, outfitted with preprogrammed iPods and flat-screen TV's).
Easily the most luxurious resort in St. Martin, the 55-acre La Samanna resort brings tranquility to an otherwise tourist-filled island. Featuring two beautiful pools, an extensive wine cellar, a yoga and Pilates studio, a European-style spa, and the island's most pristine beach, this ... retreat is hard to beat.
An outstanding white-sand beach fronts this upscale property, a true oasis with unique character and an emphasis on guest service. Lodgings include Mediterranean-style, multi-bedroom villas.
