It was home to one of the hottest beach scenes in the Caribbean before Irma; an always-hopping, party-filled stretch of sand renowned for one-word beach bars: Kontiki; Waikiki; Bikini. 

And then the storm came, and Orient Bay, St Martin as we knew it was no more. 

But the area has very quietly experienced a renaissance in recent years, once again trending toward the beach bar-heavy, culinarily vibrant destination it used to be. 

And now that includes a brand-new hotel, of the sort that frequent Caribbean travelers love: tiny, intimate, boutique and authentic. 

It’s called Les Galets SXM, and it’s a boutique bungalow hotel that’s home to five standalone bungalows, each with a clean, chic beach decor. 

Each bungalow is named for a different hue, and each comes with a flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, a high-design bathroom and a private terrace. 

There’s also a three-bedroom, three bathroom villa available. 

That’s along with a heated pool and pool deck in the heart of the property. 

The culinary option includes a French table d’hotes, with dinner three times a week, with service on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. 

The menu, led by a veteran chef from mainland France, is ever-changing, from truffle-focused dinner lineups to a culinary journey with scallops. 

It’s another cool new addition to the French side, long largely free of large hotels; adding to a unique hotel stock of course led by the island’s top hotel, signature Grand Case Beach Club and other ultra-boutique options like LTC Beach Hotel and Sol e Luna, among others.
