Nettle Bay Beach Club in St. Martin, Caribbean

Nettle Bay Beach Club is located near Marigot, St. Martin. There are four lovely bays on this part of Nettle Bay, where this charmingly French hotel is located. Situated on an overgrown sand bar not far from the town of Marigot, these little peach-colored bungalows are arranged in small semi-circles, overlooking the calm azure waters facing north. Adjacent to each bay there's a swimming pool, plus a tennis court for the whole complex. On the waterfront is the lovely La Parilla Restaurant.

Nettle Bay Beach Club offers comfortable suites, equipped with kitchens and living areas, with private patios or terraces. Even though there are quite a number of rooms, the way they're arranged, the property does not overwhelm the traveler. The rooms are decorated in bright colors, and with a definite feeling of Provence. But outside there is a spacious white beach that seems to go on forever, and calm water. There's a little coral offshore, but it's not a problem to get beyond it to the sandy bottom. Nettle Bay Beach also boasts to be one of the better active watersport centers, especially for wakeboarding, waterskiing and kite surfing. It is home of the "Academie de la Glisse", the experts for all kinds of surfing. The view on Nettle Bay is splendid: you see the neighboring island of Anguilla, Marigot Bay and its harbor to the north, and the ruins of La Belle Creole along the Pointe du Bluff to the south.
