Dear Friends,
With everything that is going on around the world, we find ourselves in a place where none of us would have imagined a couple of months ago. We pray for the health and safety of our fellow world citizens, friends, and family. As we are put to the challenge in our fight against COVID-19 we become a united force working together towards the same goal. In that spirit, we want to extend a message of hope to you with brighter days to come.
The island has responded to COVID-19 with strict measures. All non-essential movement is restricted and the borders are closed. All travel to and from the island is only for emergency and supply purposes. At this time we are happy to inform you that the hospitals of the island have done an excellent job handling the logistics of caring for the island population. Overall, people have been doing a good job following the implemented measures. As of today, there are 55 active cases on the island.
We cannot yet say when the island will reopen but we do know that the French government has extended the confinement until May 11th. Both the French and Dutch sides are working together to ensure they enforce similar policies. If you would like to keep up to speed with the developments in St.Martin/St. Maarten we recommend you monitor the following websites and social media pages. We will also be posting on our social media pages. (Instagram | Facebook | Twitter) Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any specific questions about the current situation on the island.
At this time, we are working diligently to update reservations that have been changed or canceled and to make sure that we are ready to welcome you once it is time to do so. We thank you for your patience and your consideration of postponement if you have a confirmed booking with us. The best way to support our local economy is to come back to your favorite friendly island when possible to do so.
Sincerely,
Harrison Drouin-Reed
Director of St. Martin Sotheby’s International Realty
