Beaches of St. Martin
Start With Grand Case Beach. Explore From There.
Novels Villa puts one of St. Martin's most inviting beaches directly outside. When you're ready to explore farther, the French side offers everything from calm coves to lively beach villages and quiet stretches of sand.
Your Home Beach
Grand Case Beach Is the One You Don't Have to Drive To.
Grand Case Beach sits directly behind Novels Villa, so a beach day can be as simple as stepping outside. Swim, relax, come back in for lunch, then head back to the sand whenever you feel like it.
Grand Case pairs clear Caribbean water with a village known for dining, making it unusually easy to combine beach time and dinner without turning the day into a production.
