With more travelers expected to go green on their vacations, we continue to feature tour operators, cruise lines and hotels that are taking environmental initiatives.
Radisson St Martin is at Anse Marcel – one of the best-preserved and most secluded coves on the French side of St Martin. The ocean-front luxury property features 63 suites and 189 guestrooms; a signature beachfront restaurant with al fresco dining; casual, market-style eatery; lobby tapas bar; zero-entry infinity pool; full-service spa and fitness center; 7,500 square feet of meeting space and 150-slip marina.
The Radisson St Martin Resort, Marina & Spa is already engaged in several environmental measures, including:
- An in-house desalinization plant to conserve scarce water resources, making the resort self-sufficient for fresh water. The irrigation system converts to re-use water as such water becomes available.
- Landscapes were designed to use indigenous plantings and include native palms, trees and shrubs. The irrigation design utilizes water-conserving techniques such as low-flow and drip irrigation systems.
- The hardscape was designed to use native St Martin stone and boulders for Veneer stone and retaining walls, and cast stone and concrete materials manufactured in St Martin.
- Resources were preserved through the renovation strategy in which original buildings and structures were preserved to the greatest extent possible.
- Light-colored surfaces were used for walkways and terraces to reflect heat and light from the property.
- The Resort connects to the adjacent Marina, restaurants and retail, eliminating the need for automobiles on site.
- Radisson St Martin Resort, Marina & Spa is part of Radisson Hotels & Resorts ongoing expansion in the Caribbean and will be the second flagship resort in the Caribbean.
