Set beside St. Martin’s finest beach on the Caribbean Sea, Belmond La Samanna is the island's ultimate luxury resort for incentive, corporate, and leisure travel. Elegance and tranquility mingle in perfect harmony throughout the resort. This iconic hotel will be reopening in late 2018 and is accepting group bookings for 2019 and beyond. Even though it's just 37 square miles, St. Martin/Sint Maarten is one island with two destinations: the northern French half, where Belmond La Samanna is located, and the Dutch southern portion. Last September, St. Martin lived through one of the worst natural disasters in the island’s history — Hurricane Irma. Nevertheless, St. Martin, aka the Friendly Island, is recovering at a great pace. Roads and beaches have been cleared. Many restaurants, bars, and businesses have reopened, with even more reopening later this year. Experience diversity at its best with over 100 nations sharing their cultures and fusing cuisines to make the island like no other in the Caribbean. Bathed year-round in sunshine, the island offers sprawling beaches and scenic hiking trails. Take a day cruise around St. Martin, or head into town to enjoy the vibrant scene. Island activities include sailing, zip-lining, horseback riding, duty-free shopping, nightlife, casinos, and fabulous options for dine-arounds. A defining difference at Belmond La Samanna is that nearly all of the accommodations have ocean views, unlike virtually any other Caribbean resort. Lush tropical garden pathways and beautiful archways surround the Mediterranean-style buildings and 83 guest rooms. A highlight of each room is a walkout patio or covered terrace overlooking the beach and sea, each furnished with lounge chairs and a table so guests can maximize their time outdoors. Our Cliffside Villas are some of the finest accommodations in St. Martin, perfect for VIPs or group functions. Palatial yet comfortable, these villas feature three or four bedrooms, each with a private en suite bathroom; a panoramic terrace; a fully equipped kitchen; and a living room with an open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows. The villas are made for entertaining. The wraparound terrace and private infinity pool are perfect spots for daytime hospitality space or an elegant evening affair. Enhance your event with live music and fire-dancing performances, followed by a fireworks finale for an unforgettable evening. Belmond La Samanna is consistently ranked among the region’s top 10 hotels and welcomes group programs requiring anything from 10 rooms to a full hotel buyout. Help St. Martin smile again by supporting the island’s business and hotels.
