The one-week rental cost around $200.Īfter a long day of flying due to some serious airline delays, we settled into our unit at the Nettle Bay Beach Club and walked about 25 steps to the Ma Ti Beach restaurant next door.Ī moment of pause here for the food in St Martin – it was delicious everywhere we went. Wanting to see as much of the island as possible we rented a car, (which I highly recommend to maximize your mobility). The apartment was also walkable to a number of delicious restaurants and the Mercure resort across the street, which offers various activities. The private beach didn’t have that perfect white sand you find at all-inclusives in Riviera Maya or Punta Cana, but having your own space with no early morning rush to reserve a sun lounger is hard to beat. We booked a beachside unit in a condo complex called Nettle Bay Beach Club on the French side of the island with spectacular views, a private outdoor area and a swimmable beach with loungers included. As such, I started the search for budget-friendly accommodations on Airbnb ( get $40 off your first booking with my affiliate link!) St Martin is known for its beaches and cuisine, not its all-inclusives. I seriously spend HOURS reading TripAdvisor reviews.įor those of you who prefer a more of a streamlined approach to getaway planning, get your bookmark bar ready, I’ve got the fully curated low down on 6 Days in St Martin for you… The toughest part is deciding what to do.

Trust me, I’m rolling my own eyes at my luck. While reflecting on my 6 Days in St Martin this morning, I’m on a flight to the Bahamas for yet another getaway. This summer has been particularly indulgent. ![]()
