BASK IN A golden HOLIDAY

Whether you yearn to retreat to a hideaway that’s steps from the scenic splendor of a golden St. Martin beach or be swept away by undulating turquoise views from your hillside Mediterranean-style boutique resort, each of our charming hotels offers a different take on an island getaway. But it’s our affinity for thoughtful attention and genuine care for each experience that turn visiting guests into returning friends.

Discover your home away from home.

Labor of Love

The Petrelluzzi family built Hotel L’Esplanade in the early 1990s, the crowning achievement of a lifetime developing commercial properties. Shortly after, Mr. Petrelluzzi’s son Marc and his wife Kristin took over its management and built Le Petit Hotel in the mid-90s, just down Boulevard de Grand Case. Casual, simple, and privileged with an amazing beach-front location, it offered a dramatically different take on an island getaway. Regardless of which hotel you choose for your stay, we’re delighted you’re visiting our beloved St. Martin and hope you have an unforgettable experience at our family-owned and operated boutique hotels by the sea. Welcome to our history, romance, and business rolled into one.

Authentically warm and dedicated to their craft, our stellar staff members have been with us for decades and are well loved as members of our extended family and by our friends around the world.

Divine, unpretenious

“L'Esplanade is a very special place we called home for 2 weeks. I wouldn't call it a 'luxury hotel' — as that sells it somewhat short. The world is full of luxury hotels. This is a one-of-a-kind, magical guest house, staffed with people who make you feel very honoured to stay there. Located a stones throw from a beautiful beach, amazing restaurants and serves as the perfect base to explore Saint Martin. ”

Paradise. Found.

“This was our first trip to Saint Martin, and wow. To say we were pleased with our stay at L’Esplanade would be an understatement. We were absolutely blown away by the quaintness and beauty of this property, and of the island as a whole.”

Perfect Vacation

“I should just say "ditto" to every other great review posted about Le Petit. All of the wonderful things are true. We stayed for week in May. We had a third floor room. When they say it is on the water, it is right there on the water. We slept every night to the sounds of the ocean and took breakfast every morning on our balcony.”
