Location of Le Farniente
Orient Beach is the best serviced and most popular beach of St. Martin/St. Maarten. It is the best beach to go for a swim, hang out at a beach bar or enjoy water sports. There is also a section for nude beach. At the charming market square of Orient Village, there are a few more bars and restaurants, and some activities are going on, usually on Friday nights with live music and a street market.
|
Some of the best and finest restaurants are in Grand Case, the "Gourmet Capital" of the Caribbean. This quaint, Creole Caribbean village is a 10 minutes drive from Le Farniente. Another 10 minutes, and you are in the French capital of Marigot for (duty free) shopping or visiting the street market on the waterfront of Marigot. Our Apartment on Orient Bay combines a great location with the comfort of a well equipped apartment, available at very moderate rates. Le Farniente is clean, new, and located within the gated community of Orient Bay with 24 hr security.

Editor's note: Le Farniente is a new, beautifully and tastefully refurbished one bedroom unit that sleeps comfortably up to 4 people. The French owners, Francois and Nathalie, did a very nice job in furnishing and decorating their new apartment, acquired in summer of 2007. Until Feburary 2008 they also rented very successfully villa "Maison Gatchoucha" on Oyster Pond, for 3 years (now sold to new owners).
