The new face of Caribbean luxury tourism and recreation
Designed to redefine tourism in Sint Maarten, this very ambitious project is a luxury resort with its numerous integrated leisure activities. At its heart, a modern and sophisticated hotel rises above the Cupecoy skyline, offering a collection of premium rooms and suites, each thoughtfully oriented to capture uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Select corner suites elevate the experience further, featuring private swimming pools that merge seamlessly with the horizon.
On the ground floor, a state-of-the-art casino injects energy into the area, creating a vibrant entertainment hub for both tourists and locals. Above, the hotel’s crown is adorned with a panoramic rooftop restaurant and a fully equipped gym, where guests can enjoy breathtaking views while dining or working out.
Catering to relaxation and leisure, an incredibly long infinity pool stretches along a wooden deck lined with elegant lounge chairs, offering guests the perfect setting to enjoy the tropical weather. At sunset, this tranquil oasis transforms into a prime gathering space, where visitors can savor cocktails while taking in the golden hues after a long day at Mullet Bay beach.
To ensure total convenience, an underground parking accommodates special vehicles and VIP guests, maintaining both discretion and security. Meanwhile, beneath the pool terrace, a curated selection of boutiques enhances the area’s appeal, providing a lively commercial hub for travelers seeking high-end shopping.
A harmonious connection to the beachfront landscape
The architectural design of Leaf Resort is deeply rooted in its relationship with the natural beauty of Mullet Bay. As one of the island’s most renowned and picturesque shorelines, this large beach serves as a visual and atmospheric extension of the hotel’s identity. Every room offers a front-row seat to this absolutely stunning coastal panorama, immersing guests in an environment of serenity and escape.
The building’s elevated position also makes it an unmissable landmark for travelers arriving by air, with its sleek, yacht-inspired silhouette standing proudly as a gateway to the island. The interplay of soft curves and organic materials enhances the feeling of fluidity, reinforcing the seamless transition between land, sea, and sky.
Creative, innovative and sustainable design
The most defining feature of this building is its lushly vegetated planters, which wrap around each floor in a dynamic, cascading fashion. These cantilevered green balconies, not only soften the structure’s modern lines, but also contribute to a unique vertical jungle effect, blending the built environment with nature.
Beyond aesthetics, these integrated planters serve a vital environmental function. By filtering and cooling the ocean breeze before it enters the hotel rooms, they naturally regulate indoor temperatures, significantly reducing the need for air conditioning, thus lowering the building’s carbon footprint. The combination of aluminum sun-shading pergolas, with their creative pattern, as well as the two vertical architectural accents further enhances the contemporary aesthetic of the resort while providing functional protection from the Caribbean sun.
Through its innovative fusion of modern design, ecological consciousness, and immersive guest experiences, this landmark hotel and casino stand as a beacon of luxury, directly connected to the breathtaking beauty of Sint Maarten’s coastline.
