If you want to find the place and people with the most extensive knowledge about the St. Martin / St. Maarten luxury real estate markets, look no further. We’ve set the standard in luxury real estate for the past 24+ years. We’ve been family-owned and run since 1999: I originally named the company Pierre Caraibes Villa Rentals, and it was through a commitment, passion and keen eye for the finer details that it became the obvious place to find luxury villa rentals on the island. In 2015 Pierre Caraibes became St. Martin Sotheby’s International Realty, and that affiliation further elevated our position as the location to find luxury rentals and real estate in St. Martin / St. Maarten. My son Harrison and I lead a knowledgeable team of multinational professionals. Reach out when you’re ready to explore St. Martin.
For those seeking an exceptional retreat in Saint Martin and Sint Maarten, there is only Sotheby’s International Realty.

Your assigned Guest Experience Team Member is there to fulfill any and all reasonable requests during your trip to St. Maarten / St. Martin.

Yes! When you book rental vehicles through our services, we can have the car(s) delivered to your rental property where the car rental paperwork will be filled out in the comfort of your accommodations.

This service must be arranged and requested ahead of time through our reservations team.

For our condo rentals, there is an additional charge for airport pickup.

All rental properties have housekeeping included in the price of the rental. The frequency of the housekeeping services varies by property and length of stay. Contact our reservations team for more details about any particular condos or villas you are interested in.
Real Estate
Yes, both the Dutch and French sides of the island allow foreigners to buy property. However, in some cases, there are specific regulations and restrictions that may apply, so it's essential to consult with one of our real estate experts or an attorney to understand the requirements.
Yes, many buyers purchase real estate in Sint Maarten and Saint Martin for rental income or investment. The island's tourism industry makes it a popular destination for vacation rentals, and we offer property management services to assist owners with managing and renting their property. Also, there are no capital gains taxes or property taxes on the Dutch side of the island. Contact us today to discuss real estate investment on the island.
Events & celebrations
Whether you are hosting a wedding, milestone celebration, or corporate retreat, St. Martin offers a blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture that appeals to every guest. The island’s vibrant atmosphere and natural beauty create the perfect setting for connection, celebration, and shared experiences.
Yes, but the requirements depend on which side of the island hosts the legal ceremony. On French Saint-Martin, at least one partner must currently meet the local residency requirement. Dutch Sint Maarten has a separate application and document process. Our events team can connect you with a local planner who will confirm the current requirements, documents, and timing for your circumstances.
Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) offers direct and connecting service from major North American, Caribbean, and European gateways, while Grand Case Airport serves regional routes. Once you arrive, the island is compact and our Guest Experience team can help arrange airport transfers for you and your guests.
St. Martin is a year-round destination. Winter and early spring are especially popular for their slightly cooler weather and lively calendar, while summer and fall are generally quieter. Your planner can help balance weather, availability, and the atmosphere you want for your celebration.
No. Events are limited to selected event-ready villas, and every celebration requires advance approval based on the proposed guest count, layout, and villa rules. A professional, registered, and insured event planner is required, and commercial events are not permitted.
Yes. Our team can recommend villas based on seated and standing capacity, overnight accommodation, preparation-room needs, location, and the style of gathering you are planning. The current collection ranges from intimate celebrations of about 40 guests to grand events of up to 250 guests.
Yes, but only when the event is paired with a weekly villa rental, subject to the villa’s normal accommodation capacity. Event-only bookings are generally without an overnight stay, although some villas permit one/preparation rooms may be included or available. The individual villa details and our events team will confirm what applies.
We recommend enquiring as soon as your preferred dates and approximate guest count are known. Event-ready villas, experienced planners, and key suppliers are limited, especially during popular winter, and holiday periods. Earlier planning gives you the best choice of property and partners.
Yes. Our Guest Experience team works with trusted local partners to coordinate planners, private chefs, caterers, décor, entertainment, photographers, transfers, boat days, island tours, and other activities that can make the celebration and the surrounding stay feel personal.
