SEA OF PASTEL CHIC
Flourishing under the art direction of ‘Pastel-chic’ is the resort’s 83 rooms and public spaces, which have been given a refresh by interior design firm Muza Lab, London. Pastel blues, greens, pinks, and peaches are inspired by the natural tones of the Caribbean Sea, while shells and corals are used alongside intricate and colorful botanical prints on fabrics, artworks, lighting, and mirrors. As guests explore the newly invigorated Baie Longue Bar, Trellis restaurant, and main building, these playful color palettes evoke a sense of place and allude to French romance.

Contributing to St Martin’s reputation as the Caribbean’s culinary capital, Belmond La Samanna reopens its sophisticated beachfront French restaurant Trellis, where dining is an occasion to remember as the chefs serve up culinary masterpieces with European finesse. The historic La Cave Wine Cellar is the largest private wine cellar in the Caribbean and offers a memorable dining and fine wine pairing experience curated by the Head Chef.
The resort’s new look Beach Bar is a glamorous nightspot by the water’s edge for champagne or a cosmopolitan cocktail as the sun goes down. Playful swings, monochrome lounge seating, and dramatic chandeliers invite a cause for celebration.
BEACH SCENE AND BEYOND
A wide variety of activities cater for every taste, where style seekers will love the many nearby designer boutiques and fashionable market stalls that line the colorful French capital of Marigot.
