Planning a trip here is exciting — I’ve been there too — but it can also feel a little overwhelming at first, with so many places to choose from and so many things to do.
That’s exactly why I created BookStMartin — to connect people with the places that truly matter.
Nearly 25 years ago, I packed my bags and moved to St Martin from France — and never looked back. Since then, I’ve explored the island day after day, raising my family here and experiencing it far beyond the usual tourist path.
Over time, I’ve come to understand what really makes a stay here special — the places you remember, the ones that shape your experience of the island.
This is what I share here.
A way to help you plan your trip with clarity — where to stay, what to experience, and how to make the most of your time in St Martin.
I hope it helps you enjoy the island the way it deserves to be.
As someone who’s lived here for 25 years, I’ll tell you this upfront: renting a car is the single best decision you’ll make for your trip. I’ve put together everything you need to know — how to compare prices, what insurance actually covers, and where to pick up at the airport.
