Orient Bay
Well-known as one of St. Maarten’s most liberal beaches (clothing optional), Orient Bay on the French side of the island is two miles of white sand and five separate beaches. Each of these beaches are served by a different French-owned beach concession with wonderful food and drink available in beach huts well off the pristine beach. The bay is also a haven for parasailing, water skiing, wave runners, windsurfing and horseback riding. Our resort sponsors weekly parties at Bikini Beach, which includes transportation to the beach as well as food and drink.
