We flew to St Maarten/St Martin from London to join a friend's yacht & had to find a place for one night. Karibuni Lodge owned by the Clement family and in the Cul de Sac area of St Martin is a place in which we could easily have stayed over a week. It has been beautifully and tastefully decorated and...

My spouse and I were lucky enough to stay at Karabuni Lodge for 5 days in late February 2012. We selected the lodge after seeing the articles in Travel & Leisure and the NYT and other Trip Advisor comments. We had high hopes which were exceeded beyond our imaginations. We are already planning to go back as soon as we... More

My partner and I stayed here for a week in January. We wanted to stay somewhere on the French side and had read about the Karibuni Lodge in a recent NYT article. We reserved the Red Room and were absolutely blown away by the lodge, our room, the view, and the service we received. Marion (the owner) and her daughter,... More

This was the absolute best honeymoon ever imaginable. The villas, which are much like a large one bedroom apartment, are extremely nice. We stayed in the pink suite with the private pool, and it was absolutely amazing. Karibuni has to be the best, quietest getaway on the entire island of St. Martin. Situated in the cozy French cul-de-sac, away from... More

Back in April I was trying to plan the perfect honeymoon. My husband and I thought that a stay in a villa would be a great idea. We looked at various islands and came across St-Martin.. We had both never been but heard great things. I was feeling a little uneasy about renting a villa for the first time in... More
