THE ISLAND OF ST. MARTIN

Embracing Our Dual Nationalities

St. Martin is a quaint and culturally-rich island in the French West Indies. It is famous for its beaches and beautiful coastline. The beaches on the French side tend to be more secluded and more conducive to quiet contemplation and privacy. Some are hugged by rugged cliffs and dramatic landscapes, while others are gently shaded by palm trees.

Located along the two best swimming beaches on St. Martin, Grand Case Beach Club features breathtaking views of Anguilla, the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, as well as a unique glimpse of Caribbean culture – we are located in Grand Case, a small fishing village on the northwest coast of French St. Martin. Small wooden pastel-colored houses with elaborate gingerbread facades line the village’s main road provide a captivating atmosphere.

This is the real unpasteurized French Caribbean.

ISLAND ACTIVITIES

Whether you want spend a day relaxing at one of the gorgeous beaches on St. Martin accompanied by your favorite beverage, or are seeking more active pursuits, there is something for everyone in St. Martin.

There are lessons available for everyone from beginners to advanced scuba divers, while certified divers just need to bring their certification and diving logs to immediately begin exploring St. Martin’s underwater playgrounds. Dive operators for diving lessons and equipment rental are located quite close to Grand Case Beach Club.

Equipment rental and lessons tend to be fairly inexpensive, and fun. If you want to explore around the island, sailing, water activities and deep-sea fishing are popular island activities.
