Discover your dream vacation home in Plum Bay, Saint Martin.
Plum Bay is a stunning coastal area located to the west of the island, in the French owned side of Saint Martin. If you’re dreaming of long days filled with sunshines and toes buried deep in hot sand as you take in the view across the glittering Caribbean, then Plum Bay may be just the place for you. With a calm atmosphere away from any big cities and a wonderful location close to the restaurants of Port Cupecoy, the thrilling adventurous activity destinations and awe-inspiring cultural sites.
With our Plum Bay vacation rentals, you really will make the most of this privileged island location, as many of our properties boast unbelievable views across the surrounding scenery, all the way down to the deep blue of the Caribbean ocean. Take it all in from your luxurious private pool, or kick-back in a lounger with a cocktail in hand. Here, it is utter paradise.
The island is divided into two distinct halves. Saint Martin is the northern half of the island, and it is French owned. The southern side is known as Sint Maarten and is Dutch owned.
Plum Bay is located in the northern part of the island, in the French owned Saint Martin.
The main airport is Princess Juliana International, situated on the southwest of the island in Sint Maarten. To get from the airport to Plum Bay, you will need to cross the border into Saint Martin, in a journey that takes around fifteen minutes by car.
Yes, several of our properties are located right on the beach, so you can step down from your private swimming pool and straight onto the sand.
When it comes to finding a supermarket, your best bet is to stop off in the Cupecoy area on your way to Plum Bay from the airport. Here, there are two Carrefour Express supermarkets as well as an organic food store. Stock up here before you carry on to your villa, with the journey between the closest Carrefour Express and Plum Bay taking just under ten minutes.
If you’re heading to Plum Bay for your Saint Martin getaway, there’s a good chance you love the seaside. It’s not only the velvet sands of Plum Bay on offer though, so when you’re ready to explore a little further afield, you’ll find plenty of wonderful, pristine beaches within easy reaching distance, dotted all over the island. Our favorite beaches that are well worth a visit include Baie Rouge Beach to the north of Saint Martin, Baie Longue Beach close to the border with Sint Maarten, Cupecoy Beach located on the Dutch side, and the famous Maho Beach, where you can almost touch the jumbo jet planes as they fly over the beach to land at the nearby airstrip.
If it’s adventure you’re after, or something to build memories for your little ones, then we have two attractions that are top of our list; Rainforest Adventures in Sint Maarten, and the Seaside Nature Park, also in Sint Maarten.

Here, you will find a wonderful, picturesque port with a selection of delectable restaurants. If you want to make the most of the view, our favorite is Big Cees Water Front Dining, which offers calming views of the bobbing boats as you enjoy your meal. We also recommend the Argentinian inspired cuisine of Cambuci, the classy elegance of Rendez Vous Lounge, the authentic Italian flavours of Mama, and when you’re ready to find a chilled drink to see you through to the end of the night, head to Stevez Bar close to the water’s edge.
