Esmeralda Resort

Luxurious villa-style living on popular Orient Beach

- Located on the secluded northern end of Orient Bay, 17 four- and five-bedroom villas are spaced on a gentle slope leading down to the beach.

- Each villa has its own pool and up to four private guest rooms, each with a kitchenette, and a suite with full kitchen and living room.

- Esmeralda features a gourmet restaurant and beachfront cafe, two lighted tennis courts, and wireless Internet access in the lobby.

The sixty-five rooms are spread out within eighteen luxurious villas, each with its own private pool. All the rooms overlook a shaded terrace, surrounded by island vegetation and flowers with their beautiful brilliant colors. These brilliant hues agree with the turquoise waters of our pools and the magic waves of the ocean.

Saint-Martin, the Island with 36 pure white sandy beaches, offers a full array of activities such as deep sea fishing, scuba diving, luxurious boutiques for duty-free shopping, quaint Creole marketplaces and night life with a lot of restaurants, nightclubs and casinos from which to choose.

What to expect: Styled like a small Caribbean village, the resort offers spacious, tropical-garden grounds, and attracts couples and families seeking relaxing, tranquil holidays with ready access to Orient Beach.
