DAWN BEACH, ST. MAARTEN — The first Marriott International luxury hotel in St. Maarten is now open.

JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa embodies the brand’s mindful ethos, offering travelers an enriching Caribbean retreat that nourishes the mind, body, and spirit, says Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott.

“JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa marks our debut in this striking corner of the Caribbean, not only punctuating our incredible growth in the region, but also strengthening our global presence,” says Rohr. “JW Marriott is committed to anchoring in premier destinations worldwide and this property seamlessly blends JW Marriott’s guiding wellness principles and luxury amenities, with locale-forward complements and tropical warmth closely in tow. We are poised to reimagine the hospitality landscape in St. Maarten and are eager to welcome guests to our newest jewel.”

Some 200 guest rooms and suites blend modern flair and coastal elegance – plus, of course, stunning views of the sea, and St. Barths in the distance. The hotel also features four elevated dining venues, each with its own tie to the multicultural destination: Liguria for a coastal Mediterranean menu; Carambola for laid-back breakfast, lunch, and dinner dining; The Lobby Bar’s contemporary food forum with creative mixologists; and Breeze by the pool, perfectly positioned with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Caribbean Sea to the west.

There’s also a fully equipped Fitness Room, a Hibiscus Spa and venue spaces spread across 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. In total the hotel is home to 10,000 square feet of flexible indoor function and event space, including the Soualiga Ballroom and four function venues for memorable gatherings.

JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa is just a 30-minute drive from Princess Juliana Airport.

“JW Marriott offers guests a legacy of luxury hospitality matched with principles of mindfulness that are integral to today’s traveller,” says GM Todd Reichelt. “Situated on the world-famous Dawn Beach, our resort stands as a serene enclave and island getaway in this historically rich destination. We look forward to welcoming and providing our guests with a truly memorable and holistic well-being experience.”
