Loterie Farm – Saint Martin

Nov 5, 2023 | 0 comments

Spend a Day at Saint Martin’s only Private Nature Reserve 

Located halfway between Marigot and Grand Case, Loterie Farm can be found nestled in a beautiful tropical forest at the foot of Pic Paradis. This sanctuary is by far the greenest spot on the island and urges you to make a stop. Formerly a sugar plantation between 1721 and 1848, it closed in 1855. After the ravaging Hurricane Luis in 1995, the property became derelict until B. J. Welch purchased the land in 2003. His goal was to establish a nature retreat while preserving the island’s last remaining rainforest. Nowadays, it is a real gem harboring thousands of plant species and a diverse set of animals like iguanas, parrots, hummingbirds, monkeys, and mongoose. In the heart of a hidden forest, beyond the Rambaud district, the casual chic atmosphere of Loterie Farm makes it a wonderful place to spend your day! 

The Jungle Pool – Chill-out Zone

Take a dive in the various pools, chill out in the jacuzzies, and enjoy the delicious hand-mixed cocktails. The Jungle Pool is an adult zone, but children of 13+ years are allowed to enter from Monday to Friday while being supervised by an adult. On the weekends, the Jungle Pool is an adults-only environment. But right next door is the kids-only “Jungle Kids Adventure Park”. Every last Saturday of the month, they host a special pool party that you should not skimp on.
