Known as the sparkling gem of St. Martin, Belmond La Samanna is perched on one of the most spectacular private beaches in the French West Indies and is re-opening to guests on December 1st. Blending island glamor with a captivating cosmopolitan scene, this is a resort to see and be seen. However, there is also a very exclusive and private side to this resort should you choose to take one of the resort’s eight private villas (three- and four-bedroom options), something that looks all the more attractive in the times we’re in!
Whether you choose a chic suite, designed to reflect the hypnotic shapes and colors of the local sea life, or one of the luxe villas, with wraparound terraces and private pools, you’re in for the stay of a lifetime. All accommodations feature luxury furnishings and spectacular ocean views, many with terraces or balconies. With room categories ranging from Ocean View Rooms all the way up to the private villas, there is something for everyone. Some suites include private plunge pools, while Specialty Suites feature individual themes and designs. With top-notch service to match the beautiful surroundings, you may never want to leave. In fact, La Samanna is consistently rated in the top ten hotels for service in the Caribbean by Travel + Leisure.
As for dining, the tempting options on offer at Belmond La Samanna will likely just leave you wishing you had more time for one last meal. This is a tropical paradise where you can hop from relaxed al fresco lunches to sophisticated fine dining, all within the confines of this stunning resort, which boasts some of the best restaurants in St. Martin. At L’Oursin, which opens out to panoramic sea views, you can dine on the freshest local catches in the gentle Caribbean breeze, embracing the traditional French delights. Or perhaps you’d like to sample rare vintages in the candlelit coziness of La Cave. For a casual breakfast, head to Corail, where the scent of brewing coffee and breakfast treats will be too much to resist. For lunch, perhaps you’d like to head to LaPlaj, where you can enjoy salty grilled fish and cool drinks on the shaded terrace.
At Belmond La Samanna, it’s very easy to strike the perfect balance between relaxation and activity. You’ll definitely want time to simply relax and take in the crystal clear waters on the beach or poolside, but you’ll also want to indulge in the spectacular facilities on offer, such as The Spa at Belmond La Samanna, the fitness center (including a Pilates and yoga studio), three tennis courts, two swimming pools, watersports and resort activities, and even a resort boat available for private charters (hello, social distancing!).
Exclusive & Private: Villas at Belmond La Samanna
Among the finest accommodation in St. Martin (a big brag!), the eight villas at Belmond La Samanna are palatial and sublimely comfortable, affording tranquil seclusion. Each of the three- and four-bedroom villas offers tantalizing ocean views, master bedrooms with panoramic terraces, bathrooms with rain shower and spacious tub, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fully-equipped kitchens ideal for entertaining the whole family.
These villas are ideal for large families or groups of friends traveling together and looking for their own slice of paradise. The three-bedroom villas can hold up to eight people while the four-bedroom villas can accommodate up to ten. The villas all have indoor/outdoor living spaces and dining rooms, meaning you can enjoy lovely al fresco dining right in your villa. You’ll also find wraparound terraces, private infinity pools, oversized equipped kitchens, a private garden with an al fresco dining area, and air conditioning in each villa.
As if the villas weren’t luxurious enough on their own, Belmond have also added plenty of “luxurious touches” to the villas to ensure that you will want for nothing during your stay. These include 24-hour butler service, on-demand housekeeping service, a well-stocked honor bar, daily continental breakfast served in the villa, roundtrip airport transfers, welcome beverages and amenities, complimentary Wi-Fi and parking, and 24-hour in-room dining.
Should you wish, you can add on plenty of additional services, such as a private chef; in-villa spa treatments; in-villa hair styling; yoga, meditation, and Pilates sessions; classes with a personal trainer, private music performance in your villa; outdoor movie experience (a firm favorite!); cooking and mixology classes; babysitting services; and vow renewal or private wedding ceremonies.
