Choose the Right Side of St Martin First
The best St Martin villa stay starts with the right side of the island. Make the French-vs-Dutch decision early, then narrow to the right villa area.
French Side Villas
Best for beach towns, long lunches, calmer beaches, privacy and classic Caribbean-French charm. Saint Martin’s French side is ideal for travelers who want gourmet dining, a more relaxed rhythm and areas like Terres Basses, Orient Bay, Grand Case and Anse Marcel.
Dutch Side Villas
