Accor, a world-leading hospitality group, in collaboration with Terres de Légendes, has announced the development of The Whimsy Hotel & Spa Saint-Martin – MGallery Collection. Set to open in 2025, this will be the first MGallery hotel in the Caribbean, marking a significant milestone for the boutique-hotel brand’s expansion in this strategic location.

This new luxury hotel is set to revive the iconic Beach Plaza Hotel, which has been a symbol of tourism in Marigot for over 20 years. The transformed property will celebrate the island’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, creating a must-visit destination for both residents and travelers.
