Location

Radisson Blu Hotel, a Blu Gem in the Heart of the French Caribbean
Located on the French side of St. Martin in the Anse Marcel cove, the Radisson Blu Resort sits on 18 lush acres. This tiny island is home to two separate countries, St. Martin in the north and the Sint Maarten in the south. Guests fly into Princess Juliana Airport, located on the Dutch side of the island, just 45 minutes by land or 25 minutes by sea from Anse Marcel.

Anse Marcel is the entryway to the National Nature Reserve, a true haven for flora and fauna. The reserve includes the island of Pinel, which can be seen from the beach, along with Petite Clef, Green Cay, Tintamarre and the small islands off the Baie de l'embouchure. St. Martin is a great place to explore and discover the true Caribbean.
