Description
We are the first and only Glamp site/ Eco-Retreat on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten, we have 5 acres of pristine area, where we host Glamping tents, maintain many large fruit trees, garden beds (aquaponic and soil) with vegetables, herbs & spices and hiking trails, we have a bar and restaurant onsite of which we intend to officially open in 2026, with a pavilion/common dining area, and occasionally have these areas rented out.
We are a Family operated start up lead by Erjon & Rebecca, together they handle the garden/yard work, maintain the housing and common areas, Erjon & Rebecca's family (mothers and brothers) are here frequently lending a hand where they can.
There is a lot to do, and if you have a bit of passion for agriculture and being outdoors in nature you're sure to have a great time, you'll also have the opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful beaches, sceneries and diverse cultures the island has to offer!

Accommodation
You will be staying in a 4m*4m tent with mattress and linens, situated on your own private terrace (tents are not shared, if you have a friend over for a night is fine but we won't cover their meals)
You are granted 3 meals a day, Breakfast Lunch Dinner, will probably be the same times each day, there is always something on the stove :)
What else ...
The island is quite small and it's easy to get around, tiny busses get you to just about anywhere for about $2.
We are hard working but laid back, though we enjoy our peaceful nook we do like a good party.
Just be respectful to nature, the neighbors and Us, you'll have a great time!
