Club Orient Nudist Resort--south end of Orient Bay This most popular nudist resort is back from the dead after the September, 1995 hurricane, on the south end of Orient Beach. All bungalows on this 30 acre site have been rebuilt. You can choose accommodations from either concrete block buildings or the traditional wooden chalets in garden view or beachfront locations.

Club Orient takes its name from the magnificent crescent shaped Orient Beach stretches 1.5 miles around a spectacular turquoise bay at the base of St Martin’s most dramatic mountains. Protected by the only barrier reef in the eastern Caribbean, it is free from dangerous currents and is perfect for snorkelling, swimming and any kind of water sport you can imagine. The balmy Trade Winds from the east make it the ideal spot for windsurfing and sailing.

This property is more like a large villa than a big resort so it's intimate (6 rooms & suites) with a great view of Orient Beach. The villa/resort is situated on a hillside in a gated community over looking Orient Bay below. The village of Orient is home to a variety of beach bars, bistros, boutiques and hotels. The villa is only a short distance to the nude beach of Orient Bay. And, Grand Case, home of some of the best little restaurants on the island, is about 5-10 minutes away. ALERT: This property is NOT on the beach but overlooks the area.

Lined with tiki huts, colorful beach chairs and restaurants, the sands of Orient are always full of action! Many compare Orient Bay to the French Riviera, the "Saint Tropez of St Martin" with its pampering services and ambiance.
