PART 2: Beach Club Diaries 🏝️🍸
The beach at Anse Marcel Beach Resort
If you know, you know.
For Part II of our beach club series, we’re heading to Anse Marcel, a tucked-away cove on the French side of St. Martin that feels worlds away from the busy beaches most visitors flock to.
Hidden past the marina and wrapped by green hills, Anse Marcel is calm, chic, and effortlessly elegant. The water is glassy, the sand is soft, and the energy is unbothered — exactly how a beach day should feel.
This is the kind of place where lunch turns into hours. You start with a drink, order something light and seafood-forward, and suddenly it’s late afternoon and no one is rushing you. The service is polished but relaxed, the crowd is stylish without trying too hard, and the soundtrack is just right.
Why we love it:
– Sheltered bay = perfect swimming
– French Riviera vibes in the Caribbean
– Ideal for long lunches and slow beach days
– Calm, refined, and never chaotic
Anse Marcel isn’t about the party — it’s about taste. About choosing a beach that feels intimate, elevated, and a little bit secret.

What to Order
Lunch on the sun drenched beach loungers.
Start with:
– A crisp rosé or a passionfruit spritz
– Sparkling water with lemon (you’ll want it)
To share:
– Burrata or fresh ceviche
– Light salads with grilled shrimp or tuna
– Anything seafood-forward and simply prepared
Main moment:
– Grilled catch of the day
– Seafood or lobster pasta
– A classic French-style fish dish (you truly can’t go wrong)
Don’t skip:
– Dessert or a second drink — this is not a rushed lunch
– An espresso or espresso martini to ease into the afternoon
Pro tip:
Order like you’re staying all day — because you probably will.
If you’re heading to St. Martin and want a beach club that feels chic but not showy, this one deserves a spot at the very top of your list.
