St Martin’s Belmond La Samanna Planning February Return

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 9th, 2020

St Martin’s Belmond La Samanna resort is planning to reopen in February, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The signature luxury resort in St Martin will relaunch on Feb. 15, 2021, the company confirmed this week.

“Following a recent easing of border restrictions in St Martin, U.S. travelers will once again be able to vacation and stay on the French side of the island,” the resort said in a statement.

The property had initially been planning to reopen in December.

Belmond has already reopened the nearby Belmond Cap Juluca resort in Anguilla.
