La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel
Baie Longue, Terres Basses, Saint-Martin
La Samanna occupies a beachfront setting on Baie Longue in Terres Basses, on the French side of Saint-Martin. Rooms, suites and villas face the Caribbean, giving the property a different scale and mood from the smaller guesthouses and village hotels around Grand Case. Its appeal lies in combining a substantial beach stay with the facilities of an established resort, including restaurants, wellness spaces and a choice of accommodation formats. The official Saint-Martin tourism authority identifies La Samanna as a five-star hotel, while Belmond’s property pages establish its exact name and setting. Travellers seeking a self-contained coastal stay can use it as a base for quiet beach time and planned outings elsewhere on the French side. Confirm operating dates before making arrangements: the operator has advertised a seasonal closure until 15 November 2026, so this is not a claim that rooms are available throughout the year.
