Can’t believe winter is still here? Thinking you need a break from this crazy cold snow? Head to my favorite beach paradise, Belmond La Samanna on St. Martin.

Belmond La Samanna, located on the western French side of the island, is pure heaven. The hotel exudes a relaxed, carefree, unpretentious vibe while still being luxurious.  Upon arriving you feel like you could be on the French Riviera- especially after a glass of rosé at the Beach Bar.
